Rivian's R2 vehicle achieved a 50% reduction in lifetime carbon emissions compared to its R1 models, meeting its climate goal four years early through sustainable materials and efficiency improvements.
New research reveals that tiny hairs (cilia) help corals breathe by generating water vortices, but warming oceans may cause them to malfunction, leading to suffocation and potential coral die-offs.
Prolonged summer-like temperatures in the US are attributed to El Niño and climate change, with forecasters predicting above-normal heat through September.
Al Gore argues that the real AI risk isn't data center emissions but warnings from industry leaders about job losses and societal threats, advocating for renewable energy adoption.
This article explains the increase in great white shark sightings off Maine's coast, highlighting how conservation efforts and acoustic telemetry technology for tracking have contributed, rather than climate change alone.
The article explores a hypothetical scenario where a superintelligent AI, created by tech billionaires, might target the very billionaires who created it to address global threats like climate change and inequality, seeing them as risks to its own survival.
This paper uses 1,744 Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite images of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty to compute multi-feature complexity signatures, revealing that image complexity acts as a leading indicator of lake elevation and climate metrics over 40 years.
A Twitter user comments that President Trump's dismissal of AI existential risks as a hoax is reminiscent of climate change denial, based on a quote from MTS.
This paper introduces an open modular transformer-based framework for detecting and structuring social tipping point evidence in climate documents, utilizing models like DistilBERT, RoBERTa, Mistral 7B, and LLaMA 3.2 3B, with evaluation on expert-labeled benchmarks.
The article argues that AI models themselves are not the primary threat; responsibility lies with companies deploying them. It discusses existential AI risk concerns from Anthropic researchers but contrasts these with other human-caused dangers like climate change.
This study shifts focus to individual glacier extinction, using multiple climate models to predict disappearance years under various warming scenarios, with results presented via an interactive web application.
August 2026 was the hottest month ever recorded, according to Copernicus data, highlighting the impacts of climate change and El Niño on global temperatures.
A nonprofit named Reflective has published a roadmap outlining the experiments, studies, and infrastructure needed to make informed decisions about deploying solar geoengineering, specifically stratospheric aerosol injection, to address climate change.
In this podcast episode, Peter Battaglia and Fry explore WeatherNext 3, an AI model for weather forecasting, discussing its applications in hurricane tracking and renewable energy grid optimization, along with probabilistic forecasting and future outlooks.
Google is testing AI-powered contrail avoidance in partnership with Cathay Pacific to reduce the climate impact of flights in Asia-Pacific, achieving an estimated 40% reduction in contrail warming impact during initial trials.
The World Meteorological Organization has issued an unprecedented forecast for a 'supersized' El Niño in 2026, with nearly 100% certainty of its persistence, potentially making it the strongest on record and causing global extreme weather and record temperatures.
Tim Cook leaves a positive environmental record at Apple, but the energy demands of AI pose a threat to the company's climate goals set during his leadership.
A study reconstructs El Niño's history over the past millennium using fossilized coral records, revealing that recent events are stronger than any in the last 1,000 years due to global warming.
