Concern mounts over slow-moving, planetary-scale ‘Kelvin’ wave heading for #California
#Ocean phenomenon could raise #sealevels by up to a foot as #ElNiño keeps warm water trapped along coast
#KelvinWaves are not like crashing waves. They are planetary in scale, spanning thousands of miles. When a Kelvin wave kicks off, it brings with it an untold amount of warm water that slowly moves from the western Pacific, along the equator, towards South, Central and North America.

#ExtremeHeat Isn’t the Only Climate Impact Shocking Scientists

By Eric Roston and Hayley Warren, July 6, 2026

"Much of the US just sweltered through the July 4 holiday weekend as an intense heat dome bore down, straining power grids and prompting the cancellation of many events. Washington, DC, saw a high of 102F (39C) on Saturday, a new local record for the date. In Europe, punishing temperatures are set to return days after a deadly heat wave pushed thermometers as high as 43.8C (111F) in #France. A troubling pattern has emerged in this summer’s heat: Not only has it broken records, it’s done so often by margins far above the previous all-time highs.

"These heat jumps are part of a larger shift of #ClimateChange seeming to accelerate. #OceanTemperatures just reached a new high for the early summer. #SeaLevels are rising faster than before, while new records for daily rainfall are being set at a rapid clip. The pace of #GlobalWarming itself has quickened in recent years.

"While scientists have long braced for climate change, the growing severity of its impacts is shocking them.

"Today’s climate can 'seem like an unexpected step change' from that of a few years ago, said atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech University.

"Climate models from decades ago have proved prescient, closely aligning with what the mercury later showed: heat increasing around the planet, caused primarily by humans burning #fossilfuels ."

Between land and water: Tribal relocation and resistance

By Celia Llopis-Jepsen
Published April 6, 2026

"#ClimateChange is altering the land, and #Indigenous communities are on the frontline. This episode takes you to #Alaska, where rapid permafrost thaw is threatening the Native village of #Nunapitchuk. Then, we head to #Louisiana, where the #PointeAuChien Indian Tribe is losing its land to rising #SeaLevels. These tribes are forced to make a difficult decision between staying and adapting or leaving their ancestral homes. (This episode comes to us from the environmental podcast #SeaChange.)"

#Louisiana has lost about 2,000 square miles of land to #coastal #erosion since the 1930s—a land mass about the size of Delaware.

#PlaqueminesParish, the state’s southernmost parish, juts into the water where the #MississippiRiver meets the #GulfOfMexico. The parish, which is crisscrossed with #oil & #gas canals, has already lost nearly half of its size in the last century as #SeaLevels rise because of #ClimateChange.

A More Troubling Picture of Sea Level Rise Is Coming into View

Scientists have uncovered a “blind spot” in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.

By Fred Pearce • April 9, 2026

Excerpt: "The other new study focused on the world’s #RiverDeltas. It has long been known that many #deltas are sinking under the influence of #Groundwater pumping. But as Robert Nicholls, climate adaptation researcher at the University of East Anglia, notes, 'There have been lots of different estimates.' Data were inconsistent and based on crude, delta-wide estimates. 'Now at last we have a consistent data set, with high spatial resolution.'

"That data comes from Leonard Ohenhen, an earth system scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who used satellite-mounted radar to produce 3D maps of subsidence on 40 of the world’s biggest and most populous river deltas. He has found that subsidence afflicts more than half those deltas. Most startlingly, in 18 cases subsidence rates exceed those of #RisingTides — hence, more than doubling the effective yearly rise in local sea levels, and in some cases multiplying it tenfold.

"This again puts tens of millions of people once thought safe from rising tides this century in imminent harm’s way, including those living on the deltas of the #Nile in #Egypt, the #Mekong in #Vietnam, the #Mahanadi in #India, and the #YellowRiver in #China. If the current rate of subsidence persists, these areas will be flooded much sooner than thought.

"Researchers say many deltas and other low-lying coastal areas not included in the two studies are at greater risk than believed and urgently require detailed investigation of both actual sea levels and the rate of land subsidence."

Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory: massive, sometimes abrupt, and undoubtedly disruptive. A much less habitable state of the climate for us.

"The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said."

"The public and politicians were largely unaware of the risk of passing the point of no return, the researchers said. The group said they were issuing their warning because while rapid and immediate cuts to fossil fuel burning were challenging, reversing course was likely to be impossible once on the path to a hothouse Earth, even if emissions were eventually slashed."

“We know we are running profound risks on the current climate trajectory, which we can’t rule out could turn into a trajectory towards a much less habitable state of the climate for us. " >>

Greenland’s melting ice caps reveal the true extent of climate change.

In recent decades Greenland – 80% of which is covered with ice – has recorded a loss of frozen mass that outpaced previous estimates by 20%.

This rapid reduction not only has consequences for Greenland’s inhabitants, but also on a global scale, as it affects rising sea levels and the balance of the planet’s climate systems.

Almost 40% of world’s #glaciers already doomed due to #climatecrisis caused by #emissions from #fossilfuels
The loss will soar to 75% if global heating reaches the 2.7C rise for which the world is currently on track. The massive loss of glaciers would push up #sealevels, endangering millions of people and driving mass migration, profoundly affecting the billions reliant on glaciers to regulate the water used to grow food, the researchers said.

'We saved Notre-Dame, why not the Camargue?': The French coastline fighting the rising tide.

An area of coastline in the Camargue is suffering the effects of the worst erosion and submersion on the Mediterranean. But in this land of pink flamingos and white horses, 25% of which lies below sea level, the debate over how best to respond to the threat is becoming heated.

For example, for every 10 yrs #Earth’s temperature remains 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, the researchers calculated, sea level will rise by about 4 cm, or 1.6”. Even a small increase in #SeaLevelRise can lead to more dangerous #flooding when #hurricanes & heavy #rains strike. (In #Florida, which is currently facing the danger of Hurricane #Milton, #SeaLevels are already 8” higher than they were in 1950.)

But a new study published Wed in the journal #Nature shows that blowing past #climate goals is more dangerous than it originally seemed. Even if temperatures come back down to 1.5°C, the authors found, many climate impacts — like rising #SeaLevels & thawing #permafrost — will persist for centuries to millennia.
