New Order and Simon Armitage are among more than 100 signatories to criticise 'foolish and shortsighted' budget cuts at the iconic observatory, the Guardian reports.
Phoenix tied its all-time August 1 record at 116°F while Las Vegas hit a year-high 115°F, as a heat dome stretching from Arizona to Montana triggered the strongest wildfire warnings and a statewide emergency.
Countries stand to collect $500 billion in additional corporate tax if global minimum-tax rules are enforced, a new Tax Justice Network analysis finds.
Renewables met 73% of demand during the peak hour. The milestone came on the same day that AEMET confirmed the country's hottest July on record, with the heatwave expected to extend into Portugal and southern France through the weekend.
France has lost more than 116,000 hectares — its worst total in history — as blazes across the EU approach last year's record, with Britain, Spain, Greece, and Germany all fighting major fires.
A peer-reviewed forecast suggests the equatorial Pacific is on track to peak above the 1997–98 and 2015–16 events, with consequences for agriculture, energy, and disaster planning worldwide.
Sea-surface temperatures in the Niño 3.4 region crossed the +2.0°C super El Niño threshold weeks ahead of the 1997/98 and 2015/16 benchmarks, with global ocean heat at record levels.
Climate agencies tracking the Pacific have confirmed an El Niño event of historic intensity is taking shape, on top of anthropogenic warming. 2027 is now a leading candidate to break global temperature records.
Chinese AI chip maker Cambricon announced a 5 million-share restricted stock incentive at 750 yuan per share - about 33.5% below the prior close - underscoring confidence in the AI hardware cycle and pulling energy and carbon-neutral names higher.
Persistent heat across Rome, Sardinia, and Sicily has pushed the mercury to 42-43 °C. With rivers too warm to cool reactors safely, Italian nuclear plants have temporarily paused operations and retailers report air-conditioner sell-outs.
Apple's stock touched $342.89 in intraday trading, briefly pushing its market cap past $5 trillion and past NVIDIA. The milestone lands alongside fresh evidence that AI-driven capex is reshaping energy and transition markets.
A punishing June heat dome broke temperature records across Europe. France saw back-to-back June highs on June 23-24, Italy and Spain endured their hottest late-June on record, and the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and the Czech Republic all set new marks.
A 150-year El Niño, unprecedented Canadian wildfire smoke, and accelerating ocean deoxygenation are no longer separate stories. Their compounding is the new climate reality - and adaptation limits are being tested.
Governments and corporations are pouring over $100 billion into green hydrogen projects. As production costs collapse, the clean fuel is finally moving from pilot plants to industrial scale.
A breakthrough direct-air-capture system slashes the cost of removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The technology could disrupt both climate strategy and the fossil fuel industry.
Joby Aviation and Archer are launching passenger eVTOL services in Los Angeles, Dubai, and Osaka. Battery-powered air taxis are moving from concept to scheduled flights.
