#OceanWarming beneath #Antarctica helped trigger the sharp #seaice decline after 2015. A Nature Climate Change study shows how a thinning cold layer and strong storms allowed heat to reach the ice, driving rapid melting. DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s41558… muser.press/2026/03/18/oce…

Scientists measured mid-infrared #reflectance in bird #feathers for the first time, revealing differences across species and populations. DOI: doi.org/10.1093/iob/ob… muser.press/2026/03/18/bir…

Bowhead whales stayed genetically stable for 11,000 years, until commercial #whaling began. A study links centuries of hunting to long-term declines in genetic diversity, raising concerns about the species’ future resilience. DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… muser.press/2026/03/18/bow…

From sea #turtles to birds and the gentle #dugong, the Persian Gulf’s diverse but fragile #marinelife is threatened by the bombs and oil of the war in the #MiddleEast. muser.press/2026/03/17/war…

Can climate action power a new era of prosperity? Low-carbon growth can expand economies faster, cut poverty and connect households to affordable power. Cleaner air alone could prevent 9M premature deaths by 2050. Find out how 👉 go.wri.org/26-stw

Planting trees helps the #climate – but where they grow matters. Study shows tropical #reforestation delivers the strongest cooling, while #forests in northern regions can sometimes offset the benefit. #ClimateChangeMitigation DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s43247… muser.press/2026/03/16/ref…

The #energytransition relies on minerals like lithium and cobalt, but the race to secure them risks harming #communities and #ecosystems. DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s41560… muser.press/2026/03/16/cri…

Wild #plants may sometimes evolve fast enough to survive #climate extremes – the first clear case of “evolutionary rescue” documented in the wild. DOI: doi.org/10.1126/scienc… muser.press/2026/03/15/ada…

Layers of #ice high in the #Alps have preserved a detailed record of past #airpollution, capturing traces of human activity and natural events stretching back roughly two millennia. DOI: doi.org/10.3389/feart.… muser.press/2026/03/15/alp…

From the jet #fuel used in bombing raids to acrid #smoke from burning oil depots, the conflict in the #MiddleEast is inflicting a significant toll on #nature and the #climate. muser.press/2026/03/15/env…

Greenhouse gas #emissions in #Germany were almost unchanged in 2025 with a 0.1 percent decrease compared over the previous year, the #environment ministry said Saturday, bemoaning the progress as “too slow”. muser.press/2026/03/14/ger…

The 2021 North American #heatwave devastated many species but others thrived. A new study shows more than 75% of species were negatively affected, while heat-tolerant organisms expanded as #ecosystems rapidly shifted. DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s41559… muser.press/2026/03/13/eco…

"It's snowing, there is no climate change": Climate myths are a growing problem on social media, but the science is clear. The Planetary Boundaries Science Lab teamed up with PIK scientist @rahmstorf to cut through the top 5 myths around climate change. youtube.com/watch?v=0mla1i…

Researchers at #EPFL have developed an #AI system that detects floating ocean #plastic from #satelliteimages and predicts where debris will drift within 24 hours. The technology could help cleanup teams reach large garbage patches before they spread. muser.press/2026/03/09/ai-…

Many coastal flood studies may have underestimated sea levels. Analysis of 385 studies finds coastal water levels were about 0.24–0.27 m higher than commonly assumed, a gap that could mean millions more people face future #flood risk. #SeaLevel DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Humans have emitted over 2,000 gigatonnes of CO₂ since the Industrial Revolution. 🏭 Cutting emissions is essential. But to limit warming to 1.5°C, we’ll also need to remove carbon already in the atmosphere. #WRIExplains: bit.ly/3O3Remf
