- The Mediterranean’s warming waters are drawing hundreds of invasive species
The Mediterranean Sea is warming due to climate change, leading to the influx of invasive fish species through the Suez Canal that threaten native biodiversity. Scientists warn that rising temperatures and invasive species like lionfish and rabbitfish are decimating indigenous populations, impacting coastal communities reliant on traditional fishing practices.
- Experts: Why carbon removal needs a ‘major scale up’ to return warming to 1.5C
Over 260 researchers gathered in Milan to discuss scaling carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to meet the Paris Agreement's 1.5C target. Experts emphasized the need to increase CDR from 2.2GtCO2/year today to 8.8GtCO2 by 2050, highlighting uncertainties in technology effectiveness and policy challenges.
