Michigan is investing $7.5 million to research geologic hydrogen, a clean energy source buried beneath the state that experts believe could help reduce emissions from high-polluting industries.

China’s carbon dioxide emissions fell 1% following the US-Israeli war on Iran, driven by reduced oil consumption and increased electric vehicle and public transport usage, analysis shows.

Scientists in Canada’s Arctic are studying a unique year-round open-water ecosystem as climate change threatens to increase sea ice coverage rather than reduce it, complicating efforts to protect the region.

Scientists use fiber optic cables to detect thousands of fractures in Swiss glaciers, revealing how meltwater-driven hydrofracturing threatens ice stability and could enable early-warning systems for catastrophic collapse.

UK energy ministers are expected to approve the Jackdaw gasfield in the North Sea this month, with a separate major oilfield decision potentially following later in the year.

European farmers face severe crop losses this summer due to extreme heat and drought, with France expecting cereal production to drop nearly 8 megatonnes and maize output hitting four-decade lows.

The Trump administration is unraveling environmental protections established by Biden’s EPA to reduce toxic chemical emissions from petrochemical plants, granting exemptions and proposing to rewrite regulations affecting communities in Cancer Alley.

Flash floods triggered by a bedrock collapse and glacier movement killed over 1,300 people in the Nepal-Tibet border region on August 26. Scientists debate climate change’s role while studying the multi-hazard cascade that caused the catastrophic event.

Scientists identify clean electricity as the most promising pathway to trigger cascading environmental progress through positive tipping points, where sustainable technologies become increasingly affordable and widespread.

Climate feedback loops from thawing permafrost, wildfires, and warming wetlands could amplify global warming by 20-30% by century’s end, adding 0.2-0.4°C to temperatures, a new study warns.

UN climate chief warns that politicizing climate action risks economic disaster, as August 2026 becomes the hottest month on record with temperatures 1.65C above preindustrial levels.

Federal air monitoring in the U.S. has declined significantly while wildfire smoke and data centers worsen pollution. States backed by industry are now restricting communities from using low-cost sensors to expose polluters.
