Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming

Marine heatwaves may be only the most intense part of much longer warming events, with elevated temperatures sometimes lingering for months. Researchers found that conventional measurements underestimate total heat exposure by more than 150% on average, potentially overlooking a major source of stress on marine ecosystems.

New global maps chart 40 years of ocean heat and acidification extremes

Between 2014 and 2015, a marine heatwave known as “The Blob” warmed an area of the Pacific Ocean larger than the United States and Mexico combined. The massive event fueled toxic algae blooms, collapsed fisheries, killed off millions of emaciated seabirds, sent dead fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and sea otters washing up on Alaska and […]

1 in 3 of us are now exposed to EXTREMELY HIGH levels of harmful air pollution, fuelled by record heatwaves and wildfires combined with climate-wrecking emissions. Clean air shouldn’t be a luxury, it’s a basic human right. https://www.rfi.fr/en/international-news/20260930-one-third-of-world-population-exposed-to-harmful-air-pollution-monitor #publichealth #airpollution #climatecrisis #heatwave #wildfires #makepolluterspay

One third of world population exposed to harmful air pollution: monitor

Heatwaves and wildfires combined with human-caused emissions this year combined to expose one third of the world's population to extremely high levels of ozone pollution, a European Union report said…

Marine heatwave likely caused sharp decline in Hawaiian humpback whales, study finds

Roughly a decade ago, a marine heatwave in the northeastern Pacific Ocean caused a dramatic decline in populations of forage fish and krill, the base of the marine food chain. A recent study found that the Hawaiian humpback whale population, which feeds on krill and small fish, also declined sharply during the 2013-16 heatwave and […]

David Suzuki: Canadians 'have run out of time to delay the radical and deep cuts in emissions that are needed to avoid climate chaos'. 'As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says about the emissions causing climate change: "We are digging our own graves" and "we are in a deep climate hole and to get out, we must first stop digging."' https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/david-suzuki-carney-is-holding-an-investment-summit-here-s-what-those-300-invitees-need-to-understand/article_b945cf05-b05a-4735-9f87-c253d3c9dc4a.html #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateBreakdown #NoPipelines #TradeWar #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #Floods #Drought #Wildfires

At Mark Carney’s investment summit, world leaders need to agree that our legal, economic and political systems are destructive to our nature

'The Japanese capital's high-rise business districts are often described as "concrete jungles" because of their stark urban landscape, and have increasingly been cited as a contributor to the heat island effect. In recent years, however, more greenery has begun appearing in the Otemachi area close to Tokyo Station, creating pockets of cooler air.' 'On a day when the ground surface beside the intersection reached 47.3 C, producing intense reflected heat, the surface temperature inside the forested area was 31.9 C, while that of the nearby sidewalk was 32.2 C.' https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20260915/p2a/00m/0sc/004000c #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #Tokyo #Japan #Reforestation #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #HeatIsland
