Last month was the third-hottest September on record, scientists at the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) have revealed. The global average air temperature for the month was 16.11°C (60.99°F), which is 0.66°C (1.18°F) above the 1991-2020 average for September. Worryingly, the new figure is just below the September record-holder from two years ago - a global average air temperature of 16.38°C (61.48°F). Experts point to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions as the cause for last month's conditions, which also saw heavy rainfall and flooding in Europe.
NASA employees are preparing plans to terminate two critical satellite missions monitoring greenhouse gases, which provide valuable data to various sectors, including agriculture and science.
The Trump administration's proposed rule aims to rescind the endangerment finding, undermining the government's legal authority to limit greenhouse gases essential for addressing the climate crisis.
New York City's energy grid is working overtime to keep up with demand that is rising more quickly by the day because of electric devices, electric vehicles, and AI. That puts the city at real risk for more blackouts, like we saw in 2019, and that risk will only grow.
