Researchers at the University of Rochester have identified a key mechanism for methane production in the open ocean, driven by phosphate scarcity. The discovery, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests warming oceans could boost these emissions, creating a potential climate feedback loop. This resolves a long-standing puzzle about methane in oxygen-rich surface waters.

The World Meteorological Organization has declared 2025 the second-hottest year globally, with temperatures averaging 1.47°C above pre-industrial levels. This marks a concerning milestone, as it surpasses previous records despite a cooling La Niña pattern. The past 11 years now represent the warmest in recorded history.

A new study from the University of British Columbia reveals that dietary habits must change to help limit global warming to below 2°C. Researchers found that half the world's population, including nearly all Canadians, exceeds safe food emissions levels. Practical shifts like reducing beef and food waste could significantly cut emissions.
