How #climate#change makes your #allergies worse
As #pollen season worsens, allergies compound with other #climate #health hazards.
Quarter of US adults and 1 in 5 children have seasonal allergies. For those millions, spring weather brings sniffles, itchy eyes, asthma exacerbation, and other miseries, with effects ranging from mild symptoms to serious medical emergencies. Now, rising temperatures and #carbondioxide pollution are contributing to worsened pollen seasons.

#Carbondioxide levels in the atmosphere just hit a ‘depressing’ new record
#Greenhousegases, such as carbon dioxide, are measured as a proportion of the total atmosphere. The numbers are presented as the number of molecules of a particular gas out of a million total molecules, or ppm.
These data come from the #NOAA’s #MaunaLoa Observatory, which may soon be shut down because of proposed government budget cuts.

How does the fungal pathogen #Cryptococcus neoformans adapt to the high #CarbonDioxide levels found in the human body? This study shows that CO₂ tolerance depends on coordinated metabolic, oxidative & membrane remodeling, partly via TOR–Ypk1 signaling @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3RmnKSc

Wars destroy lives and the climate. Why aren't we counting military emissions?

This isn't a minor oversight. Militaries are significant contributors to #GreenhouseGas #emissions. #Russia's invasion of Ukraine has generated an estimated 311 million tons of what's known as #CO2 equivalent, comparable to the combined annual emissions of Belgium, New Zealand, Austria and Portugal. CO2 equivalent is the metric used to compare the warming impact of various greenhouse gases to #CarbonDioxide.

Recently published research calculated that the first 15 months of #Israel's war in Gaza generated more than 33 million tons of CO₂ equivalent, comparable to the combined 2023 annual emissions of Costa Rica and Slovenia.

In February 2026, Israel and the #UnitedStates launched a war against #Iran, joining a long list of other conflicts where emissions go uncounted in global inventories.

The invisible force making #food less #nutritious
Plants depend on #carbondioxide to perform photosynthesis — but that doesn’t mean they grow better when there’s more carbon in the #air, scientists say. A sweeping survey of changes among 32 compounds in 43 crops found that nearly every plant that humans eat is harmed by rising #CO2 levels.

It’s time for the court to close the “shadow docket” and return to its historic reliance on step-by-step judicial processes that ensure full deliberation and the kind of principled, transparent reasoning the public needs to see if it is going to trust the court going forward.

The Guardian | Google to tap into gas plant for AI datacenter in sharp turn from climate goals by Dara Kerr

Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco

Google has struck a partnership for a natural gas power plant that could provide energy for one of its datacenters in Texas, unearthed by new research and confirmed by the company. The move is part of an ongoing about-face for the tech giant, which once pledged to be carbon neutral by 2030 and has long been seen as a pioneer in clean energy.

The gas power plant is slated to be built in Armstrong county, a sparsely populated area in the Texas panhandle. According to a report by the research organization Cleanview, the project is being led by Crusoe Energy, which partnered with Google to develop the datacenter campus known as “Goodnight”, named after a nearby town.

#Globalwarming has doubled its pace since the 1970s, now at ~0.35°C/decade (vs. 0.2°C before). 2023–2025 were the hottest years ever; #Earth may hit 1.5°C warming by 2030. Hotspots like China/Mexico warm faster. Experts urge faster #emissions cuts as #extremeweather displaces millions.

State of the Global Climate 2025

#WMO’s State of the Global #Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense #heat, heavy #rainfall and tropical #cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies. The ocean continues to warm and absorb #CarbonDioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the #Arctic was at or near a record low, #Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report. For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.

Key messages:
WMO State of Climate report confirms 2015-2025 hottest 11 years on record

Earth’s energy imbalance is highest in sixty five-year record

The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades

24 States Sue the #EPA for Renouncing Its Power to Fight #ClimateChange
In the #lawsuit states are arguing EPA acted illegally when it rescinded a 2009 scientific conclusion that #carbondioxide and other #greenhousegases threaten #publichealth and welfare. Known as the #endangermentfinding, formed the legal basis for the E.P.A. to regulate emissions from automobile tailpipes, power plant smokestacks, oil and gas wells, and other sources.

Centuries of net-negative emissions are required to secure a safe climate future, two studies suggest

Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term #climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (#CO2) #emissions for centuries. Approaching the problem from distinct perspectives—legal and technological feasibility on the one hand, and economic optimization under uncertainty on the other—the research converges on a consistent message:

--> reaching net zero is not enough.

Both studies were led by researchers from the Exploratory Modeling of Human-natural Systems Research Group of the #IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program and underline that achieving the #ParisAgreement goals will demand durable commitments to large-scale #CarbonDioxide removal (#CDR) extending far beyond current policy timelines.
