Hansen Predicts 2°C Warming Limit Breach by 2045
Former NASA climatologist James Hansen predicts exceeding the 2°C warming limit by 2045, advocating for a carbon tax, nuclear energy, and geoengineering research to mitigate the ensuing risks of accelerated ice melt, disrupted ocean currents, and rising sea levels.

Real Ice Tests Arctic Sea Ice Thickening Method
A UK start-up, Real Ice, is testing a method to thicken Arctic sea ice by pumping seawater onto the surface, adding an average 20 inches in field tests, aiming to combat climate change-driven ice loss, but facing criticism over scalability and potential ecological impacts.
