Persistent Fog Disrupts Netherlands; A Contrast to Declining Fog Days
Unusually persistent fog in the Netherlands is disrupting transportation, causing flight cancellations and reduced visibility, a stark contrast to the overall decline in fog days since the 1980s due to cleaner air.

Climate Change Fuels 50,000 sq km Annual Increase in Multiyear Droughts
A study by the Swiss WSL and Austrian ISTA, published in "Science", shows a 50,000 sq km annual growth in multiyear drought zones over 40 years, caused by climate change, resulting in severe economic and ecological damage.

Record CO2 Rise Exacerbates Global Warming, Jeopardizing Paris Agreement Goals
2024 marked the warmest year on record, exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, driven by a record 3.58 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2—the fastest annual rise since 1958, exceeding predictions and highlighting the urgent need for emissions reductions to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
