Longest satellite record of polar ice ever assembled shows Greenland and Antarctica have lost 11.3 trillion tonnes of ice since 1970s - and 84% of it came from glaciers flowing faster into the ocean

A new US report has looked at who's really footing the bill for America's private jet boom, and according to the researchers behind it, it's not the billionaires actually flying in them

The world added more renewable power in 2025 than ever before, but according to a new report by IRENA, that's still nowhere near fast enough to hit the pledge countries signed up to at COP28

The El Niño developing in the Pacific has now gone past every previous record, according to the Met Office, and forecasters say it could mean a wetter, stormier few months ahead for the UK

Scientists returned to the site of a deep-water coral reef off Benin that in the 1960s was declared 'probably dead' - and found it very much alive, with healthy coral and multiple fish species

Fresh research suggests every tonne of CO2 emitted in 2025 cost $41 in lost productivity from heat stress alone, making it the second largest contributor to the total cost of carbon after heat-related deaths

A massive iceberg measuring over 76 km sq broke away from one of Greenland's largest glaciers in August, colliding with a small rocky island on its way out - and it didn't break apart

East Antarctica gained a staggering 695 billion tonnes of ice between 2021 and 2023, temporarily reversing years of decline - and researchers say the cause was from something unexpected, thousands of miles away

By 2050, the poorest people in some parts of the world could be spending roughly half their income just on food while the wealthiest spend about 5%, according to a major new modelling study

Scientists have discovered that melting Arctic sea ice triggers a natural process that can increase cloud-forming particles in the atmosphere by 50 times in a single day

UK's national weather service has warned the El Niño currently developing in the Pacific could be the biggest in living memory, with implications for global temperatures and drought risk

Kyoto University researchers have used orbital data from roughly 1,200 Starlink satellites to map atmospheric density about 500km above Earth, which could help reduce risk of collisions in orbit

Research finds that fires in the Arctic break out two and a half times more often in areas with human activity than in similar areas without it, raising questions about how industrial expansion is shaping fire risk in the region

Scientists are warning that oxygen is disappearing from the world's oceans, lakes and rivers at an alarming rate, with some of the consequences potentially lasting centuries and pushing the planet into what they describe as an "unsafe space"

A study looking at 120 years of climate data has found that shifting ocean temperatures act as a natural brake on drought, stopping dry conditions from spreading across the world simultaneously

Harvard researchers have built a silicon chip that can write 64 different DNA sequences at the same time using water and electrical currents, offering a cleaner alternative to the chemical-heavy process used today

A Unicef report has found that half the world's children are now exposed to at least three overlapping climate hazards - from heatwaves to floods - with some communities already seeing the consequences

Researchers have turned waste from cheese and tofu production into porous protein beads that grab carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release it without needing as much energy

Four days of extreme rain and landslides on the Indonesian island of Sumatra last November killed an estimated 58 Tapanuli orangutans - roughly seven percent of the world's most endangered great ape species - researchers uncover

Scientists have mapped every single neural connection in a fruit fly's central nervous system, and what they found challenges a long-held assumption about how the brain controls the body
