Source: Union on Concerned Scientists The Road to True Grid Resilience is Paved With Science and Community Voice Those of us who live in the central United States are all too familiar with extreme weather events and their implications for the electricity that powers our homes and businesses. Off the top of my head, I can think of several storms that cut the power to my home in Wisconsin, including a particularly severe form of thunderstorm called a derecho in June of 2022 .

The storm had already passed, but the disruption was just beginning. I fared comparatively well, losing power for roughly 24 hours (roughly 4 oatmeals, but who’s counting?) but the impact on the grid and community—with downed powerlines, short-term flooding,

Source: Tyndall Centre New data confirms that 2025 was the third-warmest year ever recorded, with scientists listing the rising concentration of greenhouse gases, driven by emissions, as the main cause of climate warming. 2025 is the third-warmest year on record in a series from 1850, following 2024 and 2023, according to new data released today. The three-year run of record warmest years saw 2025 conclude at 1.41±0.09°C above the 1850-1900 global average, according to the H

Source: Nepali Times Cryosphere loss has immediate consequences for water security, livelihoods, infrastructure, and climate justice The Himalaya is melting twice as fast as the global average, and this is accelerated by air pollution. Called black carbon, suspended particles emitted by industries, vehicle exhaust, or forest fires accelerate glacial retreat in High Asia. Dark matter makes the ice melt faster (as seen in Kapuche Lake in Kaski, pictured above). The snowline is

For the first time, mountains were anchored across several outcomes of the UN climate negotiations, including a dedicated dialogue to be held during the United Nations Fr

Sorce: Tyndall Centre Human-driven climate change made wildfires in parts of South America and Southern California many times larger and more destructive, according to an annual assessment by international experts. According to climate models, the Los Angeles wildfires in January were twice as likely and 25 times larger, in terms of burned area, in the current climate than they would have been in a world with no human-caused global warming. It also made last year’s burning in
