Author Correction: Broadly stable atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels over the past 3 million years

The previous Extended Data Fig. 8b contained 176 points distinguished by core site, while the new version contains 32 additional data points and distinguishes boron-based CO2 reconstructions by foraminiferal species instead of core site.

Oops, We Did It Again: 2025 Second Hottest Year On Record

The past 11 years are now the warmest 11 years in the 176-year history of temperature records. What is especially concerning about 2025 is that it occurred during La Niña, a natural Pacific cooling pattern that usually brings lower temperatures. This time, it did not help. Climate scientist James Hansen reports that global warming is now speeding up by 0.31°C per decade, and he predicts we will pass the +1.7°C mark by 2027.

Food becoming more calorific but less nutritious due to rising carbon dioxide

Increased atmospheric CO2 raises crop yields while reducing nutrient density, decreasing zinc and increasing lead, and altering food composition and caloric content.

Emerging climate impact on carbon sinks in a consolidated carbon budget

Fossil CO2 emissions keep rising, pushing CO2 to 423 ppm and 1.36°C warming, risking a near-term breach of 1.5°C and exposing carbon accounting gaps.
