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 Deforestation in 2024: Fires Double Losses, Threatening Climate Goals
In 2024, a record 6.7 million hectares of tropical primary forests were destroyed—nearly double the previous year—primarily due to fires used for agricultural land clearing, releasing 4.1 gigatons of greenhouse gases and jeopardizing global climate goals.

Glaciers Won't Recover for Centuries Even With Temporary 1.5°C Exceedance
A new study reveals that mountain glaciers will not recover for centuries if global warming temporarily exceeds 1.5°C, even if temperatures later return to safer levels, with significant implications for sea-level rise and downstream communities.

1°C Warming Limit Urged to Avert Catastrophic Sea Level Rise
New research warns that limiting global warming to 1.5°C, as stipulated by the Paris Agreement, is insufficient to prevent catastrophic sea-level rise; scientists now urge a 1°C limit to avoid irreversible ice sheet melt and devastating consequences for coastal populations.

Irreversible Glacier Loss Projected Even with Reduced Warming
A new study in Nature Climate Change reveals that even a temporary exceedance of the 1.5°C global warming limit will cause irreversible damage to mountain glaciers for centuries, with smaller glaciers potentially not recovering before 2500, impacting downstream water resources and sea levels.

European Heat Buildup Predicts Exceptionally Hot Summer in 2024
Model calculations predict an exceptionally hot summer for Europe in 2024 due to a significant heat buildup in the North Atlantic, aligning with other forecasts and suggesting a continuation of a trend of increased heatwave frequency.

Record-High Tropical Rainforest Destruction in 2024
A World Resources Institute (WRI) study reveals that 6.7 million hectares of tropical rainforest were destroyed in 2024, primarily due to fires (4.1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions), exceeding previous records and jeopardizing global climate goals.

Record Forest Loss in 2024: Wildfires Driven by Climate Change".
A World Resources Institute report reveals that record-high global temperatures contributed to a record-breaking 30 million hectares of forest loss in 2024, with wildfires accounting for almost half and Brazil leading the devastation, losing 2.8 million hectares of primary forests.

1.5C Warming Target Will Not Stop Devastating Sea Level Rise
Scientists warn that even limiting global warming to 1.5C will still cause several meters of sea-level rise over centuries due to continued melting of Greenland and Antarctica, threatening coastal communities and necessitating adaptation strategies. Current trajectories show a far worse outcome.

Unmanageable Sea Level Rise Projected at 1.5C Warming
A new study warns that unmanageable sea level rise, driven by quadrupled ice sheet melt since the 1990s, will occur at just 1.5C global heating, causing catastrophic inland migration even if current warming levels persist; exceeding 2.5C would trigger a 12-meter rise.

IPCC Warns of Closing Window to Limit Global Warming to 1.5°C
IPCC chair Sir Jim Skea stated that limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains scientifically possible but requires urgent action, including net-zero emissions by 2050, while current national plans indicate a temperature rise exceeding this limit, with severe consequences for the Mediterranean region.

Record CO2 Levels Drive Climate Change Impacts
Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution, have released over 1.5 trillion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, causing record-high levels in 2024, leading to global warming, ocean acidification, and increased extreme weather events.
