Global weirding': climate whiplash hitting world's biggest cities, study revealsClimate whiplash, fueled by climate change, is causing dangerous fluctuations between extreme wet and dry weather in major cities worldwide.
Climate crisis to blame for dozens of impossible' heatwaves, studies revealHuman-caused global heating is drastically increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events like heatwaves, affecting communities worldwide.
Smoke pollution from wildfires may be killing an extra 12,000 people a year, new research suggestsGlobal heating increases wildfire risks and smoke-related deaths annually by around 12,000, particularly in vulnerable regions.Human actions, such as land clearing, also influence wildfire patterns, complicating the overall impact of climate change.
Deadly heat in Mexico and US made 35 times more likely by global heatingHuman-induced global heating made the recent deadly heatwave in Mexico, Central America, and the southern US 35 times more likely.
Global heating will increase risk of parasite outbreaks, say South West Water ownersGlobal heating increases risks of parasite outbreaks like cryptosporidium in water supply, requiring costly maintenance and treatment.Water companies urged to prioritize increased resilience over dividends and bonuses to combat risks from climate change.
Extreme heat dome' hitting Olympics impossible' without global heatingHuman-caused global heating intensifies extreme weather events like the recent heat dome, making them more frequent and dangerous, impacting athletes, spectators, and people in the Mediterranean.

More intense, frequent tropical cyclones may devastate seabird colonies studySevere declines in seabird populations occurred after a category-5 cyclone hit Bedout Island, indicating potential unsustainable losses as cyclones become more frequent and intense due to global heating.
Tree bark plays vital role in removing methane from atmosphere, study findsMicrobes in tree bark assist in methane absorption, impacting global heating and climate change mitigation.
Impossible' heatwave struck Philippines in April, scientists findRecord-breaking heatwave in the Philippines linked to the climate crisis, exacerbating existing humanitarian crises globally.
Never-ending' UK rain made 10 times more likely by climate crisis, study saysHuman-caused global heating made UK and Ireland's wet winter 10 times more likely and 20% wetter, showcasing severe consequences.
Global heating and urbanisation to blame for severity of UAE floods, study findsFossil fuels and concrete worsened recent record flooding in the UAE and Oman due to human-caused climate disruption.Downpours in El Nino years became 10-40% heavier, turning roads into rivers, causing 23 deaths and substantial damage.Cloud seeding was not a significant factor in the extreme rainfall event; the main cause was attributed to global heating from burning fossil fuels.
