Trump Doubts Global Warming as Historic Cold Wave Grips U.S.

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social claiming a record-cold spell proves global warming is a hoax, a view at odds with scientific consensus that climate change can coincide with heavy snowfall; forecasters warn of sub-zero temperatures and disruptions across parts of the U.S., while experts note that long-term trends and fossil-fuel policies remain central to Trump’s messaging.

Earth nears 1.5C barrier as 2025 is third-warmest year on record

Copernicus data show global temperatures about 1.4C above pre-industrial levels, with 2025 the third-warmest year on record at about 1.47C; 2024 remains the hottest year at around 1.6C, and the three-year stretch has briefly exceeded 1.5C, indicating the world is on pace to breach the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C target this decade due to greenhouse gas emissions and intensified heat in Europe and polar regions.

La Niña cools 2025 but planet stays on record-hot streak, scientists warn

Global temperatures in 2025 averaged about 1.4C above pre-industrial levels, cooler than 2024 due to La Niña, but the last three years have been the warmest on record. Despite natural cooling, human-caused emissions continue to drive long-term warming, bringing the world closer to the 1.5C target and signaling more heat records and extreme weather unless emissions are sharply reduced and adaptation is intensified.

Scientists warn of irreversible Antarctic changes and potential catastrophe

Australian scientists warn that Antarctica is experiencing rapid, irreversible climate changes, including shrinking sea ice, weakening ocean currents, and destabilizing ice sheets, driven by global warming. These changes threaten global sea levels and ecosystems, emphasizing the urgent need for deep emission cuts this decade to prevent irreversible damage.

New Study Reveals Hydrogen's Limited Climate Benefits and Global Budget Challenges

A study published in Nature warns that hydrogen, often seen as a clean energy source, may contribute to climate change by prolonging methane's presence in the atmosphere, thus slightly increasing global temperatures. The rise in hydrogen emissions, mainly from human activities like industrial leaks and fossil fuel use, indirectly enhances warming by reducing atmospheric detergents that break down methane, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of hydrogen's role in climate dynamics.

Arctic's Rapid Transformation: Record Heat, Melting Ice, and Changing Rivers

The Arctic is experiencing its warmest year on record, with significant melting of permafrost and sea ice, leading to environmental changes such as rivers turning orange from leached metals and the 'Atlantification' of the region, which threaten global climate patterns and ecosystems, amid concerns over reduced monitoring due to funding cuts.
