Act now against El Niño or costs will double, UNDP warns

Acting now to counter the devastating effects of the El Niño phenomenon will cost half as much as waiting, the head of the U.N. Development Programme told AFP Friday.

Some regions may already be living in a 1.5°C warmer world https://phys.org/news/2026-11-regions-15c-warmer-world.html #environment #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Some regions may already be living in a 1.5°C warmer world

Regions worldwide may have already experienced around 90%–94% of the warming expected when the global average reaches 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, and 65%–76% of that expected at 2°C of warming. The findings, published in Nature Climate Change, suggest that regional warming in 2025 was statistically indistinguishable from the levels expected in a 1.5°C warmer world, underlining the immediate need for adaptation across all regions.

2026 set to be one of the 4 hottest years on record

The year 2026 continues the protracted streak of exceptional global temperatures, melting ice and rising sea levels, with a very strong El Niño event set to unleash even more heat and extreme weather well into 2027, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It highlights the knock-on risks to the environment, economy and everyday life.

Less rain, more intense storms: Climate change strengthens extreme urban floods

A new study reveals a troubling consequence of climate change: Even as rainfall decreases, cities could face increasingly severe flooding. The study was led by Ph.D. student Raz Nussbaum and co-authored by Dr. Moshe Armon and supervised by professor Efrat Morin from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

You cannot build peace on a burning planet. You cannot eradicate poverty when climate disasters keep throwing people back into it. You cannot promise young people a better future while destroying the natural systems on which that future depends. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

Researchers warn that warmer weather is helping mosquitoes spread dangerous diseases like malaria and dengue

A century of data shows bed nets, drugs and growing cities explain much of why malaria and dengue went separate ways as the planet warmed.

As Pollution-Fueled Climate Disasters Intensify, Flood Deaths Hit 13-Year High. Deadlier flood disasters “are the foreseeable consequences of a fossil-fueled economy in which those who pollute most are also the best protected from its consequences,” said one campaigner. #ClimateChange

As Pollution-Fueled Climate Disasters Intensify, Flood Deaths Hit 13-Year High | Common Dreams

Flood deaths hit a 13-year high as climate disasters devastate poorer nations—while the richest pollute most and shield themselves from the fallout. Oxfam says 87 private jets flew to COP31. How long will governments protect luxury emissions over lives?

Future warming events will outdo the extreme heat waves of the recent past, new study finds

The extreme heat waves we have seen over the last few years may only serve as a preview of what is to come as a result of climate change. A new study led by researcher Philipp Aglas-Leitner from Freie Universität Berlin, published in Nature Communications, finds that future heat waves could last longer, impact larger areas, and be much more severe.

The worse climate change gets, the harder it becomes to stop it

This year may be seen as a turning point in the climate crisis. The U.N. has accepted that global warming is going to exceed 1.5°C, while climate scientists have concluded that the rate of warming has effectively doubled over the past decade.

Under current policies, the planet will heat up by 2.7C on average by the end of the century compared with preindustrial times, the report by Climate Action Tracker (CAT) found. This is up slightly from a prediction of 2.6C in the group’s analysis conducted last year. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

As the world heads towards a major overshoot of global temperature thresholds (and more environmental volatility) perhaps the real reason for state (relative) inaction is an underlying belief that there is more money to be made from adaptive measures/technology than from a green transition? Or of course, the fossil fuels industry, led by old men (mostly) & invested in by older people, just thinks the chaos won't start until they're long gone? #ClimateChange #politics
