A new paper suggests that 15% of global warming comes from overlooked pollutants, which are not being addressed by global policy. Record-high global temperatures are not solely driven by well-known greenhouse gas culprits.

Global warming trends are causing more frequent and intense heat waves. Cities worldwide are implementing measures to mitigate extreme heat and adapt urban life to climate change.

The UN warns of a 'deepening crisis' in the oceans, which cover 70% of the planet and are critical to the global ecosystem, urging urgent global action against threats like global warming, pollution, and loss of marine life. A five-year report by 600 international scientists highlights the risk of an ice-free Arctic as early as the 2030s.

Academics have unveiled a socialist vision to address global warming by proposing a universal 5,000 euro monthly payment, halving working hours, and discouraging red meat consumption.

Global warming is increasing the intensity and reach of El Niño events, which could become stronger and more far-reaching. The article highlights that these changes may lead to more severe impacts.

Amazonian deforestation is altering atmospheric moisture transport, potentially triggering dieback of most of the remaining forest even with low levels of global warming.

Central and eastern China experienced record rainfall, killing at least 25 people and prompting 280m yuan in government aid. Heavy rains linked to global warming and El Niño affected 20 provinces, with 500 weather stations recording historic levels. China criticized EU trade measures targeting its clean-energy industries, while EU debates policies to reduce reliance on Chinese goods.

Robert Kenyon criticizes Carol Vorderman for reacting to his comment about her fitness and dismisses concerns about global warming, advocating for increased fossil fuel use. He supports Tony Blair's stance against net zero, comparing current climate policies to historical Neanderthal eras.
