We’ve arrived at the peak week of hurricane season – the traditional midpoint of the Atlantic’s yearly activity is September 10 – but you wouldn’t know it from the Tropical Weather Outlook issued by the National Hurricane Center, or NHC, on Monday, September 8. The headline: “Tropical cyclone activity is not expected during the next 7 days.” As we reported last …

A tropical wave located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands on Wednesday morning was growing more organized, and was designated Invest 91L by the National Hurricane Center Thursday morning. The wave was headed west-northwest at about 5-10 mph, and satellite imagery showed that it had a small area of heavy thunderstorms that had acquired a moderate …

Year after year, humans pump more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere than nature can remove, fueling global warming. As the need to mitigate climate change becomes increasingly urgent, scientists are developing ways to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere in addition to cutting emissions. One of the biggest hurdles to scaling current carbon capture technologies is the vast amount …

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest supercomputers. Critiques of climate science, such as the report written for the Department of Energy by a panel in 2025, often point to this complexity to argue that these models are …

Over 85 top climate scientists on Tuesday said that the Trump Energy Department’s recent climate assessment used to justify an unwinding of federal greenhouse gas rules does not meet standards for scientific integrity. The group of scientists, led by professors Andrew Dessler from Texas A&M University and Robert Kopp from Rutgers University, submitted a more-than 400 page review of the …

A tropical wave located a few hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands on Tuesday morning was headed west at about 15 mph. Satellite imagery showed that the wave had a modest-sized area of heavy thunderstorms that were poorly organized. The system was located far enough south of the dry air of the Saharan Air Layer to favor development, …

Earth’s history is divided up into different geological wedges of time, wedges we like to call things like epochs, periods, and eons. They’re defined by events that shaped the planet (think big extinctions and biodiversity booms), and it’s generally been accepted that the boundaries between them are randomly distributed.  The rest of this article is behind a paywall.

NEW ORLEANS — Just southwest of New Orleans, in a tranquil fishing village on the Louisiana bayou, Linard Lyons spent the morning on his 19-foot boat, preparing crab traps for his grandchildren just like he had done thousands of times before. This time, he noticed a tiny scratch on his leg – a scratch that nearly cost him his life. …

Icebergs in Disko Bay (West Greenland) discharged by the Jakobshavn Isbrae, one of the fastest moving outlet glaciers in the world. Mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has contributed nearly 2 cm (three quarters of an inch) to global sea-level rise over the past three decades.
