These endangered wild dogs crossed 2,563 miles through Zambia. Scientists say their journey could help save the species
Three African wild dogs from the Mayukuyuku pack traveled a remarkable 2,563 miles across Zambia. Their journey, lasting about nine months, demonstrated the need for connected populations among endangered species. While they navigated various landscapes, they encountered significant dangers related to human activities. Researchers tracked the dogs using GPS collars, providing valuable insights into their movement patterns.

El Niño arrived early. Why its impact was felt from India to the Panama Canal
El Niño's early onset has triggered a cascade of atypical weather events worldwide. India faced not only monsoon challenges but also significant shifts in policy due to insufficient rainfall. Meanwhile, South America grappled with both severe flooding and drought conditions affecting the Amazon. Australia and Southeast Asia saw extended dry periods, increasing the threat of wildfires. Concurrently, global temperature records underscored the reality of a warming planet amid these disruptions.
Why NASA's latest moon discovery creates a major dilemma for Artemis astronauts
Microbes from Earth can survive on the Moon's surface for days. New research shows shadowed lunar craters offer protective microclimates for these organisms. This discovery impacts plans for human exploration and resource utilization at the lunar South Pole. Scientists must now rethink sterilization protocols to prevent forward contamination of pristine ice. Future missions will require enhanced containment strategies and stricter decontamination procedures.

World on track to dangerous warming as emissions hit record high: UN
National commitments to slash heat-trapping pollution would limit global warming up to 2.5C this century -- nowhere near enough to avoid devastating climate impacts despite a sweep of new pledges, the UN warned Tuesday. Big polluters most responsible for the crisis have been urged to pledge faster and deeper emissions cuts to bend the curve back to 1.5C by the end of the century.
World far off track to meet climate goals: UN
The UN estimated Tuesday that nations' carbon-cutting pledges imply a far-from-sufficient 10-percent emissions cut by 2035, cautioning that it was unable to provide a robust global overview after most countries failed to submit their plans on time. The estimate also incorporated a pledge by China, the world's biggest polluter, to reduce emissions by 7-10 percent by 2035, its first absolute national target.
Asia’s CCS plans could add 25 billion tonnes of extra emissions by 2050, risking the Paris Agreement’s warming limit goal: Report
A Climate Analytics report warns that deploying carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Asian countries could add 25 billion tonnes of extra GHG emissions by 2050, jeopardizing the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal. This "risky technology" pushes economies into costly fossil fuel dependence, despite its poor track record and the availability of cheaper, less risky renewable alternatives.
Ozone layer on track to return to 1980s levels by mid-century, says WMO report
A new WMO report indicates the Earth's ozone layer is recovering, projected to reach 1980s levels by mid-century, thanks to the Montreal Protocol's success in phasing out ozone-depleting substances. The 2024 Antarctic ozone hole is smaller than recent years, signaling initial recovery. Continued monitoring of stratospheric ozone and related substances remains crucial for complete healing.
Bulgarian mussel farmers face risk, and chance, in hotter sea
Faced with rising Black Sea temperatures that suffocate his mussels, Bulgarian farmer Nayden Stanev has been forced to change his ways -- shifting his seeding schedule and harvesting at cooler depths. But the warmer waters are still a threat to Black Sea mussel farmers.
Fossil energy 'significant' driver of climate-fuelled heatwaves: Study
Fossil fuel and cement producers have contributed "significantly" to the growing number and intensity of climate-change-driven heatwaves, according to a study published on Wednesday in Nature. "We also show that emissions associated with the largest producers of fossil fuels and cement contribute significantly to heatwaves," Quilcaille told AFP. Emissions from just one of these carbon majors would have been enough to cause events deemed 10,000 times more likely, they found.

August third-hottest globally on record, says climate monitor
Devastating wildfires and blistering heatwaves during the world's third-hottest August on record underscored the urgency of tackling climate change and preparing for its deadly consequences, the European global warming monitor said Tuesday. "With the world's (oceans) also remaining unusually warm, these events underline not only the urgency of reducing emissions but also the critical need to adapt to more frequent and intense climate extremes," said Samantha Burgess, strategic lead for climate at the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
