Humanity finds itself on a giant ship heading for catastrophy. You can contribute to alter the course of that ship, or turn a blind eye.

Rampant climate misinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report.
It found climate action was being obstructed and delayed by false and misleading information stemming from fossil fuel companies, rightwing politicians and some nation states.

Adding a levy to airline tickets could raise more than âŹ100bn a year to pay for the damage done by climate breakdown, research has found.
Flying is the most carbon-intensive means of travel, but is artificially cheap as airline fuel is often not taxed, and the environmental impacts are not paid for.

The Earthâs energy imbalance â the excess heat trapped by the greenhouse effect â has risen by 25% when comparing the past decade with the decade before.
Things are not only moving in the wrong direction, weâre seeing some unprecedented changes and acceleration of the heating of the Earth and sea level rise.

New data from Nasa has revealed a dramatic rise in the intensity of weather events such as droughts and floods over the past five years.
The study shows that such extreme events are becoming more frequent, longer-lasting and more severe, with last yearâs figures reaching twice that of the 2003-2020 average.
The steepness of the rise was not foreseen.

Ocean acidification, often called the âevil twinâ of the climate crisis, is caused when carbon dioxide is rapidly absorbed by the ocean, where it reacts with water molecules leading to a fall in the pH level of the seawater. It damages coral reefs and other ocean habitats and, in extreme cases, can dissolve the shells of marine creatures.

For the first time, the data indicated a small likelihood that before 2030, the world could experience a year that is 2C hotter than the preindustrial era, a possibility scientists described as âshockingâ.

The continued use of fossil fuels and other environmentally destructive practices have set the world on a course towards at least 2.5C of heating. This is almost certainly beyond the tipping points for the Greenland and west Antarctic ice sheets, and is expected to trigger what the researchers call a âreally direâ sea level rise of around 12 metres.

Sea level rise will become unmanageable at just 1.5C of global heating and lead to âcatastrophic inland migrationâ, the scientists behind a new study have warned. This scenario may unfold even if the average level of heating over the last decade of 1.2C continues into the future.
The loss of ice from the giant Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets has quadrupled since the 1990s due to the climate crisis and is now the principal driver of sea level rise.

European companies are increasingly lobbying for strong climate action, research has found, in a âprofound shiftâ that analysts say challenges the narrative that businesses see green rules as a threat to profits.

The worldâs wealthiest 10% are responsible for two-thirds of global heating since 1990, driving droughts and heatwaves in the poorest parts of the world, according to a study.
