Record Rainforest Loss in 2024: Fires Surpass Agriculture as Main Driver
In 2024, a record 67,000 square kilometers of primary tropical rainforest were destroyed, primarily due to climate change-fueled fires, exceeding agriculture as the main cause for the first time, releasing over 3 billion metric tons of CO2 and impacting global climate goals.

Sixth Mass Extinction: Scientific Predictions Confirmed
Edward O. Wilson and Richard Leakey predicted a sixth mass extinction caused by human activities like deforestation, pollution, and overexploitation of resources; scientific data now supports their claim, highlighting the loss of over 350 vertebrate species since 1500 and a 30% decline in many survi...

Eastern Australia Floods Trap 50,000, One Dead
Torrential rains in eastern Australia have trapped 50,000 people, killed one, and isolated over 20,000 in the Kempsey region, with more casualties expected; the flooding is the worst in decades, linked to record-high sea surface temperatures and climate change.

Irreversible Ice Sheet Melt Projected, Leading to Catastrophic Sea Level Rise
New research indicates that irreversible melting of the world's ice sheets is imminent, leading to a multi-meter sea level rise and catastrophic coastal displacement, even if global warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius; this is based on a study published in Communications Earth and Environment.

Record Forest Loss in 2024: Uncontrolled Fires Devastate Tropical Rainforests
Uncontrolled fires caused a record 6.7 million hectares (16.6 million acres) of primary tropical forest loss in 2024, an 80% increase from 2023, primarily driven by the worst drought in the Amazon rainforest's history and exacerbated by agricultural expansion and conflict in several countries.
