China pushes clean energy targets at UN climate summit

At the UN Climate Summit, China highlighted its progress in clean energy adoption amid global efforts to combat climate change. Officials emphasized accelerated goals for renewable energy and emissions reduction. The announcements underscore China's role in international climate action.

Scientists develop nanotechnology for efficient carbon capture

Researchers have unveiled a new nanotechnology-based method that captures carbon dioxide at 90% efficiency in lab tests. This innovation could significantly aid global efforts to combat climate change. The findings were published in Nature on October 3, 2025.

Researchers discover new carbon storage method in soils

Scientists have identified a novel mechanism in soil microbes that enhances long-term carbon sequestration. This breakthrough could help mitigate climate change by locking away more atmospheric CO2. The findings were detailed in a study published on October 1, 2025.

Scalise leads GOP effort to block Colorado climate lawsuits

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and 102 Republican lawmakers have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging it to halt climate lawsuits against Exxon and Suncor Energy from Boulder, Colorado. The Republicans argue that such cases represent a federal matter involving global emissions, not state jurisdiction. The move comes after the Colorado Supreme Court allowed the suits to proceed in May.

Researchers develop sunlight-powered carbon capture method

Scientists have unveiled a new photocatalyst that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into usable fuel, offering a promising tool for combating climate change. The breakthrough, detailed in a study published on October 3, 2025, achieves high efficiency without needing additional energy inputs.

Study links wildfires and heat to worse air quality in megacities

A recent study highlights how increasingly frequent wildfires and heat events are aggravating air pollution in major urban areas. Researchers found that these climate-driven factors significantly elevate levels of harmful particulates and ozone. The findings underscore the growing environmental challenges for densely populated cities.

Opinion piece urges rethinking urban design for climate resilience

October 07, 2025 An Ruwaito ta hanyar AI

Dr. Rob Moir argues in a guest opinion that climate change intensifies storms and flooding through warmer air and impervious urban surfaces. He calls for reconnecting with natural land and water cycles to build resilient cities. Solutions like permeable pavements and rain gardens could mitigate risks.

Marine heat waves clog ocean's carbon sequestration mechanism

October 07, 2025 An Ruwaito ta hanyar AI

Two major marine heat waves in the northeastern Pacific have disrupted the ocean's natural process of sinking carbon to the seafloor via zooplankton fecal pellets. A new study reveals shifts in phytoplankton and zooplankton communities that reduced carbon export during these events. This malfunction could impair the ocean's ability to absorb a quarter of human CO2 emissions.

Antarctic glacier passes tipping point for sea level rise

A new study indicates that the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica has crossed an irreversible tipping point, potentially accelerating global sea level rise. Researchers analyzed decades of satellite data to reach this conclusion. The findings highlight the urgent risks posed by climate change in polar regions.

Study links extreme heat to workplace injuries as OSHA faces delays

A new study reveals that extreme heat contributes to thousands of workplace injuries annually, with risks rising above 85 degrees Fahrenheit heat index. Researchers confirm that basic protections like water, shade, and breaks reduce these risks. However, a federal government shutdown threatens to delay OSHA's proposed national heat standard.

Absurdist theater artist readies New Yorkers for climate floods

In Brooklyn, theater artist Alexx Klein stages absurd performances to confront New York City's climate vulnerabilities. His project 'Flood Futures' simulates disaster scenarios to blend humor with urgent warnings about rising seas. Through laughter and mock evacuations, Klein aims to ease climate anxiety while educating the public.

Scientists revive microbes dormant in permafrost for 46,000 years

Researchers have successfully awakened ancient microbes trapped in Siberian permafrost for up to 46,000 years. The experiment demonstrates the remarkable resilience of these microorganisms. The findings, published in Nature Communications, raise concerns about potential pathogen release as permafrost thaws due to climate change.
