Researching and reporting the science and impacts of climate change 🌎
Join Grist and @climatecentral.org for a virtual conversation with meteorologists, journalists, and researchers about how we can communicate more accurately and thoughtfully before, during, and after extreme weather events. Date: Oct. 28 at 1 p.m. ET Location: Virtual RSVP: https://bit.ly/4zQRBDr
When extreme weather strikes, misinformation can spread fast. Join @grist.org and #ClimateCentral for a webinar on how we can communicate more accurately and thoughtfully before, during, and after the storm. 📅October 28, 2026 ⏰1 PM ET Register: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
According to #ClimateCentral's @zacklabe.com, "One of the strongest El Niños on record is unfolding on top of a much warmer climate." 🎥Watch our latest Monthly Climate Briefing for a recap: youtu.be/YHpDb-QAifs
Yup. And it doesn't have to be "mention climate change OR El Nino." You can do both! I checked the climate rulebook. It's totally allowed. And 100% check out that @climatecentral.org report on El Nino. 🔽 www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...
Zack Labe@zacklabe.com · 5d agoEl Niño is everywhere in the headlines, but ultimately human-caused climate change is the key reason for the record global warmth. 📈 Curious about how these two climate stories relate? Learn more in our latest report: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...
8 in 10 coastal floods can now be traced back to human-caused sea level rise. The storms didn’t change. The water they are pushing did. @climatecentral.org
🌊 Marco? Polo! A new study finds climate change played at least as strong a role as El Niño in fueling #HurricanePolo’s explosive intensification. Human-caused climate change made storm conditions roughly 23 times more likely, compared with about 14 times for El Niño. 📸: CSU/CIRA & NOAA/NESDIS
The U.S. is warming in every congressional district — but how much has your corner of the country changed? A new #ClimateCentral analysis finds 2.8°F of warming on average across all 435 districts since 1970. 🔎Find your district and explore the data: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...
Global sea surface temperatures have run at record levels for 130 days and counting... Join @zacklabe.com & @climatecentral.org 📆Wednesday, October 14th to talk through the climate connection, a historic El Niño, & the a look back at September 2026 for the US & globally. 🔗In the next post 👇

The race continues for the hottest year on record, with 2026 ranking so far as the 2nd warmest for our planet! What are the impacts of this growing warmth on agriculture? Find out tomorrow during #ClimateCentral’s Monthly Climate Briefing. 👉Register: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
🌀Hurricane Isaias rapidly intensified into a Category 3 storm Friday, fueled by exceptionally warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Landfall is forecast along the Gulf Coast between Alabama and Florida later today, October 9.
For the first time on record, the U.S. has experienced impacts from all types of billion-dollar disasters in a single year. The toll so far: 💰 $50B+ in total costs 🚨 21 events And 2026 isn't over yet. Explore the database: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-services/billion-dollar-disasters
A powerful El Niño is developing in the tropical Pacific and is expected to influence global temperature patterns through 2027, but not all warming is the same. Explore our latest #ClimateMatters to learn more: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/el-nino-global-temperatures-explained

☕ A warming world is brewing trouble. Climate change added more coffee-harming heat to all 25 major coffee-growing countries during 2021–2025. This #InternationalCoffeeDay, see what’s brewing: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/more-coffee-harming-heat-due-to-carbon-pollution-2026
Wildfires aren’t just about the flames. Across the U.S., human-caused climate change has fueled more fire activity and: 🔥Increased fire weather 📈Expanded burned areas More fire can mean more smoke — and greater health risks. Read via #ClimateCentral: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...
🌊 A strengthening nor’easter is bringing heavy rain, strong winds, dangerous surf, and coastal flooding along the U.S. East Coast this weekend! Coastal flooding has already affected portions of Virginia and North Carolina, with ocean overwash closing a miles-long stretch of road on the Outer Banks.
🚨Both and Pakistan have experienced sustained dangerous humid heat this month, much of which would not have occurred without human-caused climate change. Today, dangerous humid heat driven by climate change is peaking in the region — with around 700 million people forecast to feel it⬇️

It's Fall y'all! Unfortunately, ragweed season is also sticking around. Since 1970, warming has extended ragweed’s freeze-free growing season in 88% of 202 U.S. cities analyzed — by 11 days on average. 🍂More from #ClimateCentral: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/fall-allergy-season
🚨As of September 22, #HurricanePolo underwent extreme rapid intensification – reaching Category 5 strength with sustained winds of 165 MPH off the southwestern coast of Mexico.
🌍 More than 1.5 billion people experienced at least 30 days of risky heat added by climate change this summer. Wondering where climate change was felt the most strongly this summer? Explore the analysis from #ClimateCentral: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/risky-summer-heat
Global sea surface temperatures have recently reached 100 consecutive days of new record highs. What is driving this ocean warmth? And what could this heat mean for the months ahead? 👉Find out tomorrow during #ClimateCentral’s Monthly Climate Brief: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
🚨Dangerous, near-to-all-time record heat is expected to impact more than a dozen states this week🚨 For more than 65 million Americans, these lingering, late-summer temperatures are made at least three times more likely by human-caused climate change.
🚨Heat sends thousands to the ER each year. How much does climate change contribute? New #ClimateCentral research finds that climate change accounted for about 1 in 4 heat-related emergency room visits in the U.S. during the warm season from 2018–2025. 🚑: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...
