Since the 1960s, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by more than 30%. The average portion of the planet likely to be covered by heat storms and heat waves has risen more than 12-fold. Explore the first in our series on this climate phenomenon reut.rs/4sl2Kdi

We're headed for an El Niño that is — quite literally — off the charts. WMO's Global Seasonal Climate Update shows that El Niño is forecast to exceed the scale of global monitoring charts. Its impacts will be felt well into 2027. Read the full update: bit.ly/4z2MhwQ

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier could contribute more to sea level rise by the end of the century than some previous estimates. @NASAJPL helped develop a model that better accounts for seawater moving beneath the ice, improving simulations of the glacier’s retreat.

A wildlife crossing in Colorado has helped reduce animal-vehicle collisions by a staggering 91% in just 10 months. The $15 million bridge is currently North America's largest wildlife overpass, spanning six lanes of Interstate 25.

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, the planet's widest and most unpredictable glacier, is melting "more aggressively" than previously projected, meaning its impacts on global sea level rise could be double current estimates. cnn.it/3TAW6Ti

A rare sight in the sky over France! Photographer Florian Riou captured stunning red sprites flashing high above a powerful thunderstorm. ⚡ A sprite is a large discharge of electricity high in the atmosphere miles above a thunderstorm that can extend almost to the edge of space, which is considered to be around 62 miles above the Earth's surface. These flashes last only milliseconds.

Lightning inside a volcanic eruption! ⚡🌋 Incredible flashes lit up Taal Volcano's ash plume in the Philippines. According to the USGS, volcanic lightning can occur when ash particles collide and build up electrical charges.

Rob Stewart dedicated his work to helping people see sharks differently, not as something to fear, but as incredible animals worth understanding. His words remind us that there is still so much we can learn from the species that share our planet. #Sharks #SharkConservation #RobStewart #ProtectOurOceans

This summer, @NASA scientists spent six weeks chasing fire clouds. 🔥☁️ Using planes and trucks, the team studied several dangerous, smoke-infused clouds generated by wildfires. The data will help predict where these clouds may form and improve climate and atmospheric models.

Above the smoke layer are puffy white clouds, including a puff of very tall clouds. Credit: INSPYRE / Bernadett Weinzierl
