#CO₂ may be changing more than our climate—it may be changing us. A striking study finds rising atmospheric CO₂ parallels shifts in human blood chemistry, including ↑ bicarbonate and ↓ calcium & phosphorus. A worrying signal? www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... 🧪 #ClimateChange #HumanHealth

Scientists detect a surprising shift in human blood as atmospheric CO2 rises

Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be leaving a measurable imprint inside the human body. Researchers analyzing more than two decades of U.S. health data found that blood bicarbonate levels h...

July SSTs for the Mediterranean Sea. First time over 27C. 🔥

The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

🌡️Could the current #ElNiño become the strongest in at least 150 years? #2027 could become the hottest year on record with major consequences for #Biodiversity. A timely reminder that ecosystem management must prepare for climate extremes—not just long-term trends. 🧪🌍🌐 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This El Niño is set to be the largest on record by a ‘mind-blowing margin’

Forecasters predict that the monster climate pattern will combine with global warming to push global temperatures in 2027 to new heights.
