New genomic research has resolved a century-old debate over gentoo penguins, revealing four distinct species rather than one with several subspecies. The newly recognised Kerguelen gentoo lives on remote islands in the Southern Indian Ocean. Scientists warn that warming temperatures could shrink habitats for several island populations, making conservation increasingly…

0.05°C: India’s global warming share trails US & China, but the heat is on

India's contribution to global warming is less than major emitters like the US and China. Research shows India's warming contribution has significantly increased after 1990. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels drives most of India's emissions. Agriculture contributes significantly through methane and nitrous oxide gases. India faces severe consequences despite its…

Earth is set to cross 1.5°C — does the climate clock stop there? The UN has a plan for what happens if temperatures overshoot the crucial threshold

Global warming exceeding 1.5°C is now likely, according to a United Nations assessment. The focus must shift to limiting temperature overshoot and its duration. Every fraction of a degree above this threshold increases climate risks significantly. Even optimistic scenarios project warming peaks around 1.8°C before potential decline. Reducing emissions and…

UN warns global warming will exceed 1.5C and must be reversed

Warming is projected to peak around 1.8C in the best-case scenario. This necessitates a new goal of "overshoot, peak and decline" for climate change. Cutting greenhouse gas pollution and removing carbon dioxide are crucial steps. Countries with greater historical responsibility must lead these urgent efforts.
