NOAA has placed an 82 per cent probability that El Niño will emerge in the central Pacific between May and July 2026, the climate state that in 1997-98 caused more than 20,000 deaths worldwide and approximately US$36 billion in damage, that in 2015-16 produced what was then the warmest year on record and the most extensive Amazon drought yet measured, and that has accompanied every one of the ten warmest years in the global temperature record, all of which have occurred since 2015

On 22 October 2017, a single lightning flash crossed five US states in 7.39 seconds, travelled 829 kilometres from Texas to near Kansas City, and produced more than 116 cloud-to-ground strikes along its path, an event approximately fifty times longer than a typical lightning bolt that was missed at the time and only identified through a 2024 reanalysis of archived satellite data.

The Parker Solar Probe is still flying through the Sun's corona at 430,000 miles per hour, fast enough to cross the continental United States in about 20 seconds, because a 4.5-inch carbon-foam shield keeps the spacecraft in the shade
Climate Science
The ozone layer is the only major environmental crisis humanity has actually solved, and it happened because the chemical industry quietly realised the replacement refrigerants were more profitable than the ones being banned
Climate Science
The Parker Solar Probe is now moving at 430,000 miles per hour, fast enough to cross the continental United States in 20 seconds, and it survives skimming the Sun's corona because a four-and-a-half-inch slab of carbon foam stays at room temperature on the side facing 2,500-degree plasma.
Climate Science
Abandoned coal mines may be releasing hidden carbon into the air, but researchers think the same drainage could also point toward a cheaper kind of climate fix
Climate Science
The microscopic ocean species doing roughly five percent of the planet's photosynthesis wasn't even described in textbooks until the late 1980s, and the carbon budgets attributed to it have been quietly rewritten ever since
