In just 25 years, over 3,700 toxic facilities will be at risk of coastal flooding as seas continue to rise due to climate change. And those most affected will be the most vulnerable among us. Learn more in Climate Central’s new Toxic Tides report.

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.

The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

After a modest decline over the first half of the year (and after record 2024 warmth), global temperatures are ticking back up. The past two days have been the warmest on record for this time of year in ERA5 and the highest temperature anomalies since January.

How hot is the North Pacific?
The latest data from ECMWF for August, 2025, puts the average sea surface temperature at 6.212 standard deviations above the 1951-2000 average.
If SSTs were normally distributed (they aren't), that would be about 1-in-3.8 billion by chance.
