The earliest known eukaryotes on Earth, the ancestors of all complex life including animals, plants and fungi, lived in shallow oxygen-rich seafloors nearly 1.75 billion years ago, according to a new study published in Nature. The findings challenge long-standing theories that early complex organisms......
Global sea levels have risen at an average rate of roughly 2 millimeters per year since 1960, but the pace has accelerated sharply in recent decades, according to a new study published in Science Advances. Researchers found that the annual rate of sea level rise almost doubled between 2005 and 2023 compared......
New York hosted the 21st session of the United Nations Forum on Forests from 11 to 15 May 2026.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has sharply increased the probability of an El Niño developing in 2026, signaling growing concern that the climate phenomenon could become one of the strongest recorded in modern history. The agency’s Climate Prediction Center now estimates......
Climate models are rapidly converging toward the emergence of a powerful El Niño event later this year, as ocean temperatures across the equatorial Pacific accelerate beyond earlier forecasts. Updated projections from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts now place the probability......
Satellite imagery captured on May 6 by the European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-2 program has revealed a dark slick west of Kharg Island, Iran's main crude oil export hub, covering an estimated area exceeding 120 square kilometers. The discovery comes as an American naval blockade, imposed......
Up to one in six plant species on Earth could be condemned to extinction by the end of this century as climate change destroys the habitats they depend on, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. The research, conducted by scientists at the University of California, Davis, represents......
Meteorologists are issuing increasingly urgent warnings as the latest long-range forecasting models point to the possible formation later this year of a potentially record-breaking El Niño event, with some projections suggesting it could rank among the most intense in more than a century. The......
Authorities in California have declared a state of emergency following the rapid spread of an invasive species known as the golden mussel in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta.
