Rising ocean heat poses new threats in terms of damaging hurricanes—some scientists have called for a new “category 6” classification to be added to storms above 192mph—but also to the vast network of life, including humanity, which depends on the marine expanse that covers 70 percent of the planet.
Oceans are soaking up vast quantities of human-created emissions and heat, which is shielding people on land from even worse temperature rises but also warping fish populations, dissolving away coral reefs and shellfish, robbing the seas of oxygen, and potentially upending foundational ocean currents. -

Overnight hours, when temperatures tend to go down and relative humidity, or the amount of water vapor in the air, goes up, can act as a barrier to fire. Overnight, fires tend to creep along, giving firefighters a chance to sleep or manage smaller flames. But human-caused climate change has accelerated nighttime warming more quickly than daytime warming, dismantling this natural shield.

Carrie Williams, spokesperson for the Texas Hospital Association, said the “vast majority" of hospitals in southeast Texas are dealing with some form of post-Beryl challenge like water or wind damage, power or connectivity outages, staff shortages or transportation issues.

SiegedSec, a collective of self-described "gay furry hackers," claimed credit for breaking into the private database of the Heritage Foundation, the think tank behind the right-wing wish list for Donald Trump's second term known as Project 2025. The group, which opposes Project 2025, posted their scalp on Telegram, announcing that they gained access to the passwords, user information, and "other juicy info" from "every user" of the database, including Heritage President Kevin Roberts.

The U.S. heat wave came as the global temperature in June was a record warm for the 13th straight month and marked the 12th straight month that the world was 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than pre-industrial times, the European climate service Copernicus said. Most of this heat, trapped by human-caused climate change, is from long-term warming from greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, scientists say.

Tens of thousands of California homeowners are facing similar issues, but it’s not just a California problem. Extreme weather is driving unprecedented levels of property damage nationally, leading insurance companies to flee markets across the country. In states like Louisiana, Florida, and parts of the Midwest and Southwest, residents cannot obtain insurance, or the premiums have become so prohibitive that they are forced to go without. More than 35 million properties – a quarter of U.S. real estate – face skyrocketing insurance prices and plummeting coverage due to climate change risks. Insurance companies have made it clear to regulators that extreme weather, fueled by climate change, is driving these changes.

Excising the phrase from science textbooks will “make Florida climate education even worse than it is,” Branch said. “These ill-considered actions are going to cheat Florida students.”
Branch said it was especially troubling the decision seemed based on “ideological grounds” and ignored the “rock solid” science that has documented climate change and its impacts. -
