Climate Change

June through August 2023 were the hottest three months ever recorded, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

The 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption may have contributed to this year's heat, but it's not causing climate change.

Methane emissions from tropical wetlands have been soaring since 2006 and accelerating at the same breakneck speed as when Earth's climate has flipped from a glacial to an interglacial period.

"A very remarkable series of events took place during the late Miocene between 5.96 and 5.33 million years ago."

From shrinking goats to a dimmer Earth, here are some of the lesser-known impacts of rising global temperatures.

The research looked at peaks in biodiversity loss and their relationship with atmospheric CO2, finding 50 events over the last 534 million years that can be considered mass extinctions.

"The issue is not about running out of water, it's about having water in the right place," Lis Mullin Bernhardt, from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), told Live Science.

The remains of a climber who went missing in 1986 were found peeking out of a melting glacier in the Swiss Alps.

In a warmer and drier climate, the groundwater that fuels Yellowstone's tallest active geyser could dwindle, resulting in less frequent eruptions and even extinction.

Researchers have predicted the collapse of the AMOC could happen any time between 2025 and 2095 — far sooner than previous predictions, although not all scientists are convinced.
