Sudden cut in pollution in 2020 meant less shade from sun and was ‘substantial’ factor in record surface temperatures in 2023, study finds
The contaminants have also recently been found in testes and semen amid concerns about falling male fertility
Scientists warn of ‘scary’ feedback loop in which fires create more heating, which causes more fires worldwide
Small increase in temperature of intruding water could lead to very big increase in loss of ice, scientists say
Melting of ice is slowing planet’s rotation and could disrupt internet traffic, financial transactions and GPS
This year elections are taking place across the globe, covering almost half of the world’s population. It is also likely to be, yet again, the hottest year recorded as the climate crisis intensifies. The Guardian asked young climate activists around the world what they want from the elections and whether politics is working in the fight to halt global heating.
Human-caused climate crisis brought soaring temperatures across Asia, from Gaza to Delhi to Manila
Winter downpours also made 20% wetter and will occur every three years without urgent carbon cuts, experts warn
Climate scientists have told the Guardian they expect catastrophic levels of global heating. Here’s what that would mean for the planet

Total is 20% higher than thought and may have implications for collapse of globally important north Atlantic ocean currents The Greenland ice cap is losing an average of 30m tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis, a study has revealed, which is 20% more than was previously thought. Some scientists are concerned that this additional source of freshwater pouring into the north Atlantic might mean a collapse of the ocean currents called the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc) is closer to being triggered, with severe consequences for humanity.
Oil cartel warns ‘pressure may reach a tipping point’ and that ‘politically motivated campaigns put our prosperity’ at risk

World Meteorological Organization says 2023 will be hottest year on record, leaving ‘trail of devastation and despair’
Saudi Arabia is driving a huge global investment plan to create demand for its oil and gas in developing countries, an undercover investigation has revealed. Critics said the plan was designed to get countries “hooked on its harmful products”. Little was known about the oil demand sustainability programme (ODSP) but the investigation obtained detailed information on plans to drive up the use of fossil fuel-powered cars, buses and planes in Africa and elsewhere, as rich countries increasingly switch to clean energy.
World Meteorological Organization sees ‘no end in sight to the rising trend’, largely driven by fossil fuel burning
The renowned US scientist’s new book examines 4bn years of climate history to conclude we are in a ‘fragile moment’ but there is still time to act
Extreme weather is ‘smacking us in the face’ with worse to come, but a ‘tiny window’ of hope remains, say leading climate scientists
First complete ‘scientific health check’ shows most global systems beyond stable range in which modern civilisation emerged
Ice-free summers inevitable even with sharp emissions cuts and likely to result in more extreme heatwaves and floods
Heatwaves, wildfires and floods are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’, leading climate scientists say
Exclusive: Long list of ‘sensitive’ topics for petrostate include oil and gas production, emissions and Yemen war crimes
A collapse would bring catastrophic climate impacts but scientists disagree over the new analysis
Plutonium spike in Canadian lake sediments marks dawn of new epoch in which humanity dominates planet
