Fire weather has been worsened by human-driven climate change in Western North America for 50 years, new study finds. Recent paper suggests that human-driven climate change contributed 81-188% to the observed increase in fire weather in that region.
Claim:
Antarctica gained ice from 2021 to 2023 so global warming is over, sea-levels aren't rising, and ice loss has reversed in Antarctica.
Claim:
Whether all that additional carbon dioxide is a function of human activity, that’s still debatable.

More than 80% of the world’s reefs hit by bleaching.
A paper used unusual accounting methods by looking only at gross emissions and omitting CO2 sinks through reforestation; climate scientists explain that this method is misleading. It is like evaluating the status of your bank account based only on your income without looking at your expenses.
Individual vehicle emissions have improved through tighter regulations and better technologies, but vehicle pollution is an ongoing issue that harms human health and worsens climate change.

The first-ever artificial intelligence-led peer-reviewed climate science paper has confirmed that climate change is a hoax.
If you want to see the front lines of climate change, you might think to look at the Maldives. Most…
Global warming may mean something different than you think. One misconception is that global warming means ‘all places on Earth are warming equally’, but this is not the case. In reality, global warming means that average global temperatures are rising over decades or more. Earth’s uneven heating means that some places warm faster or slower than the average global temperature rise over a given period.
Why do cold snaps happen if the Earth is warming? Cold snaps are part of Earth’s natural climate variability. However, global warming is causing winters to get warmer, and making cold snaps less frequent or less intense over most land areas globally since 1950.
