🌡️ The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record.

🌍 In 2025, Earth's global surface temperature was 1.19 °C (2.14 °F) above the 1951-1980 average. This was slightly cooler than 2023, with the two years effectively tied according to NASA scientists.

🔥 The hottest year on record since 1880 remains 2024.

A large-scale survey of over 3,500 US political elites shows near-unanimous agreement among Democrats on the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and primarily caused by humans. In contrast, fewer than half of Republicans affirm anthropogenic climate change.

Summers across the midlatitudes, including most of North America and Europe, now last roughly 30 days longer than they did in the 1960s. Total summer heat accumulation is growing more than three times faster than it did during the 1961–1990 baseline period.

Global warming is accelerating 5,000 times faster than rice can evolve, threatening the food security of billions. New research warns that by 2070, traditional growing regions like India and Southeast Asia will exceed the 104°F (40°C) heat threshold where rice physically ceases to function.

Climate models and observational data disagree because climate models exaggerate the greenhouse gas impact on recent interhemispheric temperature patterns and tropical climate

🌡️ New research from Northeastern University explains a discrepancy: climate models predicted faster ocean warming in the Northern Hemisphere, but 70 years of observational data show the Southern Hemisphere is warming faster.

💨 The reason? Climate models, according to researcher Chengfei He, are too sensitive to greenhouse gases, overemphasizing a feedback loop involving wind speed, ocean temperature, and evaporation.

🌍 Instead of global average surface temperature, looking at the "interhemispheric temperature contrast" (the difference in mean sea surface temperature between hemispheres) reveals the Southern Hemisphere's faster warming.

💧 This finding has implications for tropical weather, as it suggests the tropical rain belt, hurricanes, and areas at risk from drought and wildfires will shift south of current model predictions.

Earth's past temperatures were much cooler than previously thought, with a new rock-weathering study finding ancient hot periods peaked at 10°C above preindustrial levels rather than 30°C, meaning human-driven warming could soon push the planet into uncharted territory.

🌡️ New research published in Nature Communications on July 9, 2026, reveals Earth's past temperatures were cooler than previously thought, with warm periods likely around 10°C above pre-industrial levels, not the up to 30°C once estimated.

🌏 This indicates that natural feedback processes have long regulated Earth's climate, allowing life to evolve and flourish over the Phanerozoic period (540 million years ago to present).

💡 The findings suggest human-driven warming could push Earth into unprecedented temperature ranges, emphasizing the need for human intervention to maintain a habitable climate.

Research shows human-induced climate change has driven every global coral bleaching event over the past four decades. The researchers found greenhouse gas emissions have warmed the oceans so much that El Niño now acts mainly as a trigger rather than the root cause.

Climate ‘feedback loops’ could worsen global warming by 30%. A new study analyzed the effect of hidden multipliers such as the methane and CO2 that would spew from permafrost, wetlands, freshwaters and wildfires.

#ClimateChange #FeedbackLoops #GlobalWarming

🔥 New study reveals global forests, wetlands, and tundra, warmed by fossil fuel emissions, could release up to 30% more planet-heating gases.

🌡️ Thawing permafrost, wildfires, and warming lakes are releasing stored methane and carbon dioxide, amplifying the climate crisis by an estimated 20-30% by century's end, potentially adding 0.2C to 0.4C to global temperatures.

🚨 These "feedback loops" are largely missing from current climate models, potentially leading to underestimations of future warming and overestimations of permissible carbon emissions.

🌍 Scientists stress the urgency of including these natural emission sources in future climate policies to improve the accuracy of warming projections and the likelihood of meeting global climate goals.

🌡️ New research from ETH Zurich and Leipzig University indicates that the most severe climate scenario, predicting 3°C of global warming by 2100, is now the most likely outcome.

☀️ Switzerland experienced its hottest summer on record this year, with temperatures and heatwave durations exceeding the benchmark set in 2003, offering a preview of a warmer world.

🌍 Scientists have revised climate models, finding that the gap between absorbed sunlight and radiated heat has more than doubled since 2000, suggesting faster-than-expected heat trapping in the atmosphere.

💡 The study emphasizes that significant warming can still be prevented through immediate and drastic emission cuts, with global emissions needing to be halved by 2030 and reaching zero by 2050.

A global analysis from 1979–2023 found the first heatwave now arrives about two weeks earlier, the last ends 24 days later, and heatwave seasons have lengthened by roughly 39 days, with 92% of land areas showing a trend toward longer heatwave seasons.

* 🐄 In the mid-1980s, scientific studies revealed that cow emissions significantly contribute to global warming. The National Cattlemen’s Association (NCA) responded not with emission reduction strategies, but with strategic communication.

* 📝 Between 1986 and 1996, the NCA focused on gathering information, hiring experts to reframe scientific data, and influencing public and political discourse. They treated global warming primarily as a public relations issue impacting consumer demand.

* 🔬 Despite scientific recommendations for reducing methane emissions through production changes, the NCA's research and internal documents show no evidence of efforts to explore or promote such changes.
