EU-Kommissionen har delvist trukket det planlagte forbud mod forbrændingsmotorer i 2035 tilbage, hvilket en studie fra tankesmedjen Transport & Environment siger kan føre til højere CO₂-udledninger og faldende EV-salg. Den oprindelige 100 procent CO₂-reduktion er mildnet til 90 procent, hvilket reducerer andelen af rene elbilers til 85 procent. Eksperter frygter jobtab i den tyske bilindustri.

A study reveals that the Arabian Sea had more dissolved oxygen 16 million years ago than today, despite global temperatures being warmer during the Miocene Climatic Optimum. This challenges simple assumptions about warming leading to immediate ocean deoxygenation. Regional factors like monsoons and currents delayed severe oxygen loss in the area.

A new study reveals that El Niño weather events contributed to famines across Europe between 1500 and 1800, triggering some and prolonging others. Researchers found strong associations in central Europe and broader price impacts continent-wide. Modern agriculture, however, mitigates such risks today.

In the Antilles, sargassum is smothering mangroves and marine seagrass beds, making these spaces uninhabitable for wildlife and plants. Research by the University of the Antilles highlights the severe impact of these brown algae on biodiversity, following a 2025 request from the Guadeloupe prefecture. This issue, intensified since 2011, stems from climate change and shifts in ocean currents.

South Africa's summer rainfall areas, including Gauteng, have experienced heavy rains this season and are forecast to stay wet through late summer and early autumn. The South African Weather Service predicts above-normal rainfall in most regions from January to May, boosting dam levels but raising flood risks. While this bodes well for the summer maize crop, excessive rain could reduce yields.
