Climate change

Massive economic losses brought on by extreme heat induced by human-driven climate change are an issue now, not only in the distant future.

The trip comes amid increasing concern about military activity in the Arctic, where climate change is making waterways more accessible

A series of "once-in-a-millennium" rainstorms have lashed the United States in recent weeks, flooding areas baked dry by long-term droughts, as human-caused climate change brings weather whiplash.

And scientists warn that global warming means once-rare events are already much more likely, upending the models they have long used to predict possible disasters, with worse to come.

Last month saw the lowest extent of Antarctic sea ice on record for July, according to the European Union's satellite monitoring group.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) found Antarctic sea ice extent reached 15.3 million square kilometers - some 1.1 million km2, or seven percent, below the 1991-2020 average for July.

Türkiye has drawn a roadmap for its fight against climate change, containing 217 decision steps under seven titles.

The roadmap has been determined following three months of studies carried out by Climate Council organized by the Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Ministry.

The upcoming Bonn Climate Change Conference is set to kick off next week at the World Convention Center in Bonn, Germany, and is designed to prepare for the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 which is scheduled for November this year in Egypt.

The life expectancy of the inhabitants of Greece due to air pollution is expected to decrease by about a year annually.

Hollywood's response to climate change includes donations, protests and other activism but it's apparently missing out on an approach close to home.

Only a sliver of screen fiction, 2.8 percent, refers to climate change-related words, according to a new study of 37,453 film and TV scripts from 2016-20. A blueprint for ways to turn that around was released on April 19.

Earth is calling. We must act now before it's too late

On Earth Day, let's stand up for the environment: together, let's make Earth's heart beat stronger to save our planet, our home.

Scientists have long been warning that extreme weather would cause calamity in the future. But in South America, which in just the last month has had deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfire in Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe it ruined harvests, that future is already here.
