Marine heatwaves have tripled since the early 1990s, signaling the ocean's strain from absorbing over 90% of Earth's excess heat. The Earth's energy imbalance, a key climate change indicator, has doubled, leading to rising temperatures, melting ice, and intensified weather extremes. Monitoring systems are under threat, just as clarity is most needed.
Pauline Hanson revisited her long-standing anti-multiculturalism stance, now targeting 'radical Islam' and non-English speakers.

Dia Mirza's statement on a podcast linking patriarchy to climate change has ignited a fierce online debate. Critics call it an oversimplification, while supporters argue she referenced historical power structures and gender accountability.
Melting icebergs are depositing vast amounts of rock onto the Arctic seafloor, creating new hard surfaces for marine life like sponges and corals. This unexpected consequence of climate change is reshaping deep-sea ecosystems in the rapidly warming Arctic.
Actor Dia Mirza's claim on a podcast that patriarchy and men are 'totally responsible' for climate change has ignited a fierce online debate. While some support her ecofeminist view, critics cite celebrity hypocrisy and oversimplification.
Conservationists propose a protected area for Ernest Shackleton's Endurance wreck in the Weddell Sea, fearing climate change and increased shipping may damage the historic site. The proposal passed a key meeting but awaits final approval from CCAMLR.
Le ministre français de l'Éducation, Édouard Geffray, a annoncé qu'il ne souhaitait plus que des examens de fin d'année, tels que le baccalauréat, se déroulent l'après-midi.
