"It's almost kind of depressing to go out there and look at it and say, 'oh yep, it does look bad,'" he said.

It's almost like a dress rehearsal, a preview, a glimpse of what summers are going to be like in 2050,

The association said that from the beginning of June to at least the end of August, the opening hours of the Colosseum area should run from 7am to 8.15pm. For three years, we've been asking for the opening of the whole park to be brought forward to 7am and for closing to be postponed by an hour, said AGTA. These changes would benefit the public health of everyone: visitors, guides and other workers.

The list of summertime scourges grows longer each year: wildfires, heat waves, floods. And we can now add to that a veritable infestation of biting, Lyme-disease-carrying ticks. Emergency room visits for tick bites in the Northeast are at their highest levels in at least five years. This June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded 229 tick bites per every 100,000 visits to ERs around the Northeast, up from 167 bites per 100,000 visits a year earlier.

Daniel P. Johnson, a geographer at Indiana University at Indianapolis, works with a team of researchers who spend a lot of time catching blowflies, dissecting their iridescent blue-green abdomens, and analyzing the contents of their guts. Johnson and his colleagues are tracking the spread of Lyme disease on a warming planet. But they need a lot of additional data. They get it from NASA.

Humans' collective prospects as a species don't look great. By 2050, the global population will hit an estimated 9.7 billion, meaning there will be 1.5 billion more mouths to feed than today. Demand for animal-derived protein, with its high environmental price tag, is predicted to rise faster still. Global temperatures and atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations are still increasing, tree cover is shrinking, oceans are acidifying, agricultural land is being lost to salinization, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent.

Over the last 30 years, the harvest has started almost two weeks earlier, and in a year like this one, it can be up to 20 days earlier," said Bernard Farges, president of the Comite national des interprofessions des vins.

'Only one vessel—the U.S. research icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer—has successfully penetrated the area's phalanx of sea ice...to reach a critical location on Thwaites, widely considered the world's most dangerous glacier.'

The BUTCHERED installation on Shell's gas platform visualizes climate damage from fossil fuel extraction, using a blood-like liquid to symbolize environmental impact.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports risk marginalizing Indigenous Knowledges due to insufficient inclusion of Indigenous writers and reviewers. Their inclusion is essential.

Oases are vital ecosystems that balance water, soil quality, and date palms, serving as ecological bulwarks against desertification and refuges for biodiversity.

NASA is officially not continuing its work studying global warming and will instead just stick to space exploration. Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy stated during a live interview that all climate science will be moved aside to focus solely on exploration, citing NASA's fundamental mission.

The UK's mean temperature from 1 June to 17 August is currently 16.2°C, which is 1.6°C above the long-term meteorological average.

Communities in wet environments adapt by creating designs like circular embankments, which work with the natural ebb and flow of water, rather than trying to control it.

Antarctica's vast ice sheet stores more than 90% of the planet's surface fresh water, influencing sea levels and the atmosphere's circulation.

More than 300 people have died across South Asia after heavy monsoon rains triggered flash floods and landslides in recent days, leaving tens of thousands homeless.
