- Europe Cannot Cope With This Heat
Europe is experiencing a severe heatwave with record-breaking temperatures, causing early closures of tourist attractions, school disruptions, power outages, and at least 48 drownings in France. Many European homes lack air-conditioning, exacerbating the crisis, while experts warn inadequate measures persist despite past heatwave fatalities like the 2003 event that killed 70,000 people.
- Prof Detlef van Vuuren: The climate scientist most cited by the IPCC
Detlef van Vuuren, a leading climate modeler and professor at Utrecht University, is the most cited author in IPCC reports since 1990. His RCP8.5 scenario was criticized by Donald Trump as 'wrong, wrong, wrong'.
- DeBriefed 19 June 2026: Bonn talks end in ‘gridlock’ | Energy’s ‘new era’ | Oceans in climate negotiations
UN climate talks in Bonn ended in gridlock, with no agreement on climate-adaptation finance or emissions cuts, while progress was made on a just transition mechanism. A US-Iran deal to halt war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz caused oil prices to drop, and the Trump administration abandoned plans to dismantle a climate-focused ocean monitoring system.
- How the jet-setting commissaries of the climate change quango use dodgy statistics to peddle hysteria - and justify their own existence
The article criticizes climate change organizations for allegedly using questionable statistics to generate fear and justify their continued existence. It labels these groups as 'quango' and accuses them of peddling hysteria through misleading data.
- The great climate paradox: Reducing air pollution could push the Gulf Stream towards a catastrophic COLLAPSE, study warns
A new study warns that reducing air pollution could lead to a catastrophic collapse of the Gulf Stream. The research suggests that decreasing air pollution may have unintended consequences on the climate. This paradox highlights the complexity of climate systems.
- Earth's sinking cities: Study reveals the urban areas plummeting toward sea level - leaving millions of residents at risk of being plunged underwater
A study reveals that several urban areas are sinking towards sea level, putting millions of residents at risk of being submerged underwater. The research highlights the alarming rate at which cities are plummeting, posing a significant threat to human settlements. Cities worldwide are affected, with the study emphasizing the need for immediate attention and action.
- Warning of record global temperatures
The world is warned of record global temperatures due to a growing chance of a very strong El Niño event. This warning suggests a potential increase in global temperatures, which could have significant environmental impacts. The strengthening of El Niño is a key factor in this prediction.
- Earth's worst-case climate scenario laid bare: Terrifying study reveals how global temperatures could rise by 3.5°C by 2100
A terrifying study reveals that global temperatures could rise by 3.5°C by 2100, laying bare the Earth's worst-case climate scenario. The study highlights the potential devastating impact of climate change on the planet. Rising temperatures may have catastrophic consequences for the environment and human societies.
- 2026 on track for 'extraordinary extreme weather', scientists warn - amid concerns the second half of the year will bring unprecedented wildfires and record-breaking temperatures
Scientists warn that 2026 is on track for extraordinary extreme weather, with concerns of unprecedented wildfires and record-breaking temperatures in the second half of the year. This warning comes amid expectations of severe climate-related events. The scientists' forecast indicates a high likelihood of intense weather patterns.
- The ominous sign a SUPER El Niño is inching closer: Oceans near record heat - suggesting the unusual climate pattern could be here within months
A SUPER El Niño event may occur within months due to record heat in oceans, indicating an unusual climate pattern. This phenomenon could have significant effects on global climate. Oceans near record heat suggest the event is inching closer.
- Rapidly melting Antarctic ice shelves may cause global sea levels to rise even FASTER than expected - leaving millions at risk of being plunged underwater, study warns
Antarctic ice shelves are melting rapidly, which may cause global sea levels to rise faster than expected, putting millions at risk of being submerged underwater. The study warns of the potential consequences of this accelerated melting. Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to coastal communities and ecosystems.
- Rapidly melting Antarctic ice shelves may cause global sea levels to rise even FASTER than expected - leaving millions at risk of being plunged underwater, study warns
A study warns that rapidly melting Antarctic ice shelves may cause global sea levels to rise faster than expected, putting millions at risk of being plunged underwater. The melting of Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating due to climate change. This could lead to devastating consequences for coastal communities and ecosystems.
- Arctic sea ice hits a record LOW - as scientists warn we're inching closer to a 'point of no return'
Arctic sea ice has reached a record low, prompting scientists to warn of a potential point of no return. This milestone indicates a significant shift in the Earth's climate. The rapid decline of Arctic sea ice is a pressing concern for environmentalists and researchers.
- Greenland ice melt has surged sixfold and scientists are alarmed
Greenland's ice sheet is melting at an unprecedented rate, with extreme events becoming more frequent and intense since 1990, and scientists attribute this to warming temperatures. Meltwater production has increased sixfold, with most record-breaking events occurring in recent years. This surge in ice melt is alarming scientists.
- Super El Niño could make 2026 the hottest year on RECORD, leading scientist predicts
A leading scientist predicts that a Super El Niño event could make 2026 the hottest year on record. This prediction is based on climate trends and patterns. The potential impact of this event on global temperatures is significant.
