Shrinking biodiversity: 69% drop in wildlife populations in nearly 5 decades, shows report

“Rising temperatures are already driving mass mortality events, as well as the first extinction of an entire species. Every degree of warming is expected to increase these losses and the impact they have on people,’’ said the report.

Rising climate scepticism shows 'vested interests propaganda machine is working'

ONE in four British citizens believe that concerns about climate change have been exaggerated, according to research published today, with campaigners warning that propaganda on behalf of vested interests is working. The research, carried out for the Times by YouGov and the opinion consultancy Public First, was compared with another study carried by the newspaper in 2021.Since then, the number of Britons who think the dangers of global warming have been exaggerated has soared by more than 50 per cent, the survey suggested.

Global atlas of thermal tolerance provides heat check for freshwater organisms

Climate change not only causes temperatures on land and in the sea to rise, but also leads to warming rivers, lakes, and streams—with serious consequences for the animals living within them. A research team at the University of Duisburg-Essen has published the largest openly accessible collection of data on the thermal tolerance of freshwater organisms to date. This data helps water management and government authorities to enact preventive measures to protect animals living in and around water.

Foundations of climate change denial: Anti-environmentalism and anti-science

Despite a longstanding scientific consensus about the reality of anthropogenic global warming (AGW), a climate change countermovement (CCCM) has worked to undermine and cast doubt on climate science for over three decades. The CCCM is a coalition led by fossil fuel corporations and their advocacy organizations, far-right conservative think tanks (CTTs), conservative foundations and a few dissenting scientists that has successfully thwarted domestic mitigation policies and international agreements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Social science investigations into the CCCM have become increasingly sophisticated and have provided key insights into the content and influence of AGW denial narratives. Denial narratives reject the basic findings of climate science: the earth is warming (trend denial), largely due to human actions (attribution denial), producing harmful impacts (impact denial), and mitigation policies are ineffective or harmful (policy denial). These narratives cast the integrity of climate science and scientists in doubt; yet a fine-grained analysis of denial narratives has not been conducted. To fill this gap, we analyze the content of 108 books that reject climate science using a two-stage content analysis approach: first, a deductive approach to identify denial claims in the books, and second an inductive approach to analyze the larger semantic ecosystems surrounding the claims. We confirm the major narratives that have been identified in prior research, but discover a consistent, underlying anti-environmentalism along with a rejection of “impact science” that highlights the negative effects of industrial production. These two meta-themes challenge reflexive modernization, which relies on scientific knowledge and global environmentalism to solve environmental problems. This reflects a deep “anti-reflexivity” employed to combat forces promoting the need for major reductions in GHGs and a shift to renewable energy. This anti-reflexive DNA of climate denial serves to protect power and privilege systems formed since industrialization, which has been powered by fossil fuels.

Could global warming really lead to the next ice age?

New research shows that Earth’s climate can change drastically, potentially causing an ice age, due to a missing piece in carbon recycling. This feedback mechanism, driven by oceans and nutrients, can lead to extreme ice ages. However, human-induced warming remains a pressing issue that requires immediate action.

Climate anxiety is altering family planning. Should it?

Gen Z and younger millennials are generally the most climate literate generations. As an age cohort that started learning about climate change in school, they're worried about how to plan for their future jobs, houses and, yes, kids. With climate-related disasters and global warming likely to worsen, climate anxiety is giving way to reproductive anxiety. So, what do experts say about how to navigate the kid question?On this encore episode of Nature Quest, Short Wave speaks to Alessandra Ram, a journalist covering climate change, who just had a kid.

‘Like judging a baseball season by a single inning.’

Every time it gets really cold, the climate change deniers come out of the woodwork with their best “I am very intelligent” grins to sputter some version of “whither global warming?” Fortunately, The Verge’s senior science reporter Justine Calma knew to anticipate these inane inquiries in her story today about the approaching winter storm: > “People say, ‘Oh, well, it’s really cold or we’re getting a lot of snow — how is the world warming?’ Climate change is an increase in the baseline temperatures, but it’s also an increase in extremes from both ways,” says Kaitlyn Trudeau, a senior research associate at the nonprofit Climate Central. “It can make more extreme cold outcomes; it can make more extreme warm outcomes … judging climate change by a cold storm is like judging a baseball season by a single inning.”

Global warming is speeding breakdown of major greenhouse gas, research shows

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere more quickly than previously thought, introducing significant uncertainty into climate projections for the rest of the 21st century.
