A University of Arizona-led study projects canopy temperature will rise about 0.11°C more than air temperature by the end of the century. The gap could reduce photosynthesis and transpiration, alter rainfall and accelerate warming unless models include the heat plants actually experience.
The municipality of Zárate, in northern Buenos Aires province, is preparing for a potential historic rise in the Paraná River due to the imminent arrival of a "Super Niño." With temperature anomalies of up to 7 degrees in the Pacific, the phenomenon could surpass the events of 1997 and 2015, and resemble that of 1877-1878, with impacts on the Río de la Plata Basin between October and February.
Smoke from more than 180 active fires in northern Ontario blankets the United States, triggering air quality alerts in more than 20 states. Chicago, Detroit and Minneapolis top global pollution rankings, as authorities urge people to stay indoors and take precautions in what could be the most significant smoke event since 2023.
An international research team has revealed that the Araucaria forest on the southern Brazilian plateau, one of the world's most unique ecosystems, was shaped over the last 6,000 years by the interaction between climate change and the management practices of the Southern Jê Indigenous peoples. The study underscores the importance of integrating ancestral knowledge into current conservation strategies.
Marine heatwaves, episodes of abnormally high ocean temperatures, are increasingly affecting marine ecosystems globally. From die-back of key species to migration of entire populations, these extreme events pose urgent challenges for biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal communities.
Wildfire smoke and pollution indexes show again that public health, urban planning and climate action have become central variables in organizing major sporting events.
UCLA’s STOP Methane report identified the Norte III Environmental Complex, operated by CEAMSE, as the municipal waste site with the highest observed hourly methane rate in 2025. The finding reopens the debate on landfilling, biogas and circular economy in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.
The Seaweed-Based Products for Decarbonization tool identifies opportunities, limits and priorities for scaling seaweed-based products in agriculture, biomaterials, critical minerals, food, animal feed and biofuels.
MCi Carbon’s Myrtle plant captures carbon dioxide from an Orica industrial facility in Newcastle and mineralizes it to produce carbonates and silica for use in concrete, paint, glass, plastics and coatings. Its initial scale is limited, but it opens an important discussion on industrial decarbonization and the circular economy.
The European Commission proposed changes to the Emissions Trading System, the bloc’s main climate tool, with a more gradual reduction path after 2030 and stronger support for industrial decarbonization. The debate shows that the energy transition also depends on rules, financing, competitiveness and institutional trust.
Recent satellite images and scientific studies indicate that the Perito Moreno Glacier has moved beyond its historic stability and entered a phase of accelerated retreat. The signal calls for stronger cryosphere monitoring, freshwater management and climate planning in southern Patagonia.
Preliminary assessments of the June heatwave recorded at least 12,000 additional deaths in Europe and a sharp rise in excess mortality during the most critical week. The episode shows that warnings, health plans, urban adaptation and protection for vulnerable people must be treated as essential infrastructure.
