Ocean Warming Weakens the Sea–Land Breeze in Coastal Megacities
Rising ocean temperatures are quietly weakening the sea breeze that cools coastal megacities — with a small further SST rise causing 4.5x more decline.

Wildfire Risk for Species Under Climate Change
Climate-driven wildfire exposure will hit 84% of fire-threatened species by 2100 — hardest in South America, lightest in Africa — new global model shows.

Biochemical remodelling of phytoplankton cell composition under climate change
Warming reshapes what phytoplankton are made of — less protein at the poles, more in the subtropics — with real-world data already confirming the shift.

Wind-Triggered Antarctic Sea-Ice Decline Preconditioned by Thinning Winter Water
Antarctic sea ice didn't collapse suddenly in 2015 — a decade of hidden ocean preconditioning set the trap before the winds pulled the trigger.

A Weighting Framework to Improve the Use of Emissions Scenario Ensembles of Opportunity
IPCC scenario databases are dominated by a handful of models. A new weighting framework corrects the bias — and shifts net-zero timelines by a decade.

Mapping Tipping Risks from Antarctic Ice Basins under Global Warming
A 2026 study maps tipping thresholds for all 18 Antarctic drainage basins, finding West Antarctic collapse may be triggered at 1–2°C and East Antarctic basins at risk from 2–5°C.

Super El Nino? Super Warming is the Main Issue
A 2026 commentary by Hansen et al. argues accelerating ocean warming, not El Niño strength, is the key story — driven by high climate sensitivity of 4–5°C and declining aerosol cooling.

Biodiversity Implications of Land-Intensive Carbon Dioxide Removal
A 2026 multimodel study finds 1.5°C-consistent climate pathways allocate up to 13% of global biodiversity refugia to land-intensive carbon removal, with disproportionate impacts on low-income countries.

Coastal Flood Risk to European Surface Transport Infrastructure at Different Global Warming Levels
A 2026 study finds coastal flooding already costs Europe €519M/year in transport damage, rising to €1.09B at 4°C, with roads most exposed and rail most expensive to repair.

Multidecadal Atlantic "Warming Hole" Heat Content Variations Are Caused by Ocean Heat Transport, Not by Surface Fluxes
A 2026 study confirms the Atlantic "cold blob" is caused by weakening ocean heat transport, not surface heat loss — a clear AMOC slowdown signal.

Enduring Impacts of El Niño on Life Expectancy in Past and Future Climates
El Niño doesn't just spike mortality — it slows health progress for over a decade. New research puts the future cost at US$35 trillion by 2100.
