Scotland’s Climate Change Plan 2026-2040 – Perth and Kinross communities respond to the draft proposals

The Houston skyline is seen in this file image from 2020. HOUSTON – Climate change is more than a buzz word -- it can be seen and felt across our communities. Climate Central reports that in 2025, climate and weather disasters costed $115 billion in damages, ranking it the third costliest year on record. Recommended Videos While Houston missed direct landfalls from tropical storms and hurricanes in 2025, the city is no stranger to historic storms like Hurricane Harvey . Here is a list of five ways changes in our climate are impacting southeast Texas. Increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves More intense rainstorms, longer dry periods Heavier rainfalls that lead to catastrophic flooding mean costly repairs and higher flood insurance rates across the Houston area. Although Houston did not see any major hurricanes this tropical season, we did experience moderate to extreme drought conditions across southeast Texas in 2025. Warmer sea surface temperatures Warming sea surface temperatures are putting aquatic life at risk of disease, leading to algal blooms and changes in salinity, all factors that make it hard for species like oysters to thrive. We noticed an impact on the oyster population in oyster-harvesting areas of Galveston...

After the deadly storms, made worse by climate change, the Luxon Govt has tried to claim that it takes climate change seriously. But here are 15 pollution policies that speak louder than words.

This report was jointly developed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) and is based on the findings from an online survey. It explores the experiences of climate-related impacts, resilience actions taken at home, the perception of local actions implemented, and concerns about future impacts among a sample of Europeans...

A Stratospheric Warming event is confirmed for February 2026, causing a Polar Vortex collapse, pushing cold air into United States and Canada

British scientists said Thursday that a world-first AI tool to catalogue and track icebergs as they break apart into smaller chunks could fill a "major blind

The brutally frigid weather that has gripped most of America for the past 11 days is not unprecedented. It just feels that way. The first quarter of the 21st century was unusually warm by historical standards — mostly due to human-induced climate change — and so a prolonged cold spell this winter is unfamiliar to many people, especially younger Americans. Because bone-shattering cold occurs less frequently, Americans are experiencing it more intensely now than they did in the past, several experts in weather and behavior said. But the longer the current icy blast lasts, the easier it should become to tolerate. "We adapt, we get used to things. This is why your first bite of dessert is much more satisfying than your 20th bite," Hannah Perfecto, who studies consumer behavior at Washington University in St. Louis, wrote in an email. "The same is true for unpleasant experiences: Day 1 of a cold snap is much more a shock to the system than Day 20 is." Charlie Steele, a 78-year-old retired federal worker in Saugerties, New York, considers himself a lover of cold weather. But this January's deep-freeze is "much, much colder than anything I can remember," he said. Steele's sense...
