Climate Change Amplified Devastating Los Angeles Wildfires
Since January 7th, 2025, twelve fires in Los Angeles, fueled by climate change-exacerbated weather whiplash and unusually strong Santa Ana winds, have charred over 60 square miles, damaging 12,000 structures; UCLA research suggests climate change contributed to 25% of the available fuel.

Snow Leopard Evolution: Eurasian Fossils Reveal Dispersal from Qinghai-Xizang Plateau
An international team used Eurasian snow leopard fossils to reveal multiple dispersals from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau during the Middle Pleistocene, driven by mountainous terrain and prey availability, not solely high-altitude adaptation, impacting current conservation efforts.

Antarctic Glacier Melt Increases Volcanic Eruption Risk
Scientists have found that global warming is causing Antarctic glaciers to melt faster, which in turn increases the risk of volcanic eruptions under the ice. This could lead to further melting and a rise in sea levels that would threaten many coastal areas.
