2024: Hottest Year on Record Exacerbates Climate Change Impacts
2024 was the hottest year on record, with global average temperatures reaching 1.55 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, causing extreme weather events that killed at least 3,700 people and displaced millions, while ocean warming reached its highest level in 65 years.

DESI Detects Potential Variation in Dark Energy, Challenging Standard Cosmological Model
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has found evidence suggesting dark energy, a force driving the universe's accelerating expansion, may not be a constant, challenging the Lambda-CDM model and potentially requiring modifications to existing theories of cosmology.

Gantenerumab Halves Alzheimer's Risk in Genetically Predisposed Individuals
A study of 73 adults with a faulty gene (PSEN2) causing nearly certain Alzheimer's found that gantenerumab, an anti-amyloid drug, halved their risk of developing the disease, suggesting that targeting amyloid could prevent Alzheimer's in millions.

Accelerating Glacier Melt: Rising Sea Levels, Freshwater Shortages, and Unforeseen Microorganism Release"
Due to human-caused climate change, 275,000 glaciers are shrinking at an alarming rate, resulting in a 36% faster decline between 2012 and 2023, causing rising sea levels (18mm since 2000), disrupting freshwater sources, impacting ocean currents, and releasing unknown microorganisms.

Annual Glacial Melt Loss Doubles Sea Level Rise, Threatens Global Resources
Glacial melt is causing a yearly loss of 273 billion tons of ice, contributing to a more than doubled sea level rise since 2006 and threatening coastal areas and freshwater resources; researchers are also discovering new microorganisms in melting glaciers.
