Alaska is getting ready for a new kind of weather warning. Normally, people think of wild winds or heavy snow when they hear weather alerts. But now, forecasters will also issue heat advisories for Anchorage and parts of southern Alaska as temperatures climb higher than usual. The change is partly
A big shift is happening in the Pacific Ocean right now, and it could shake up weather patterns worldwide. After months of cooler-than-normal waters, the ocean is heating up fast. Scientists are watching closely because this warming phase—called El Niño—often brings extreme weather to different part
GE Vernova isn’t putting all its energy eggs in one basket. Instead of betting big on one energy source, the company is playing it smart by staying flexible. While gas turbines get most of the attention—orders are stacked through 2030—the real story is how GE is quietly building a future-proof busin
A new study brings together more than 20 scientists from 13 countries to examine how certain male behaviours affect the planet. The research looks at patterns of consumption, travel and leisure that are linked to higher carbon footprints. The paper argues that the link between masculinity and clima
Back in 2009, scientists warned that car and truck fumes were filling the air with dangerous gases. These gases trap heat, make smog worse, and harm people's lungs. The government agreed and set rules to cut down on these emissions. But recently, the EPA decided to ignore those warnings by scrapping
Maine's governor leaves behind a strong green track record. Her policies helped push clean energy jobs and cut oil use in homes. That matters because Maine’s fishing industry, worth over $600 million, depends on stable weather. The state’s tourism also relies on clean air and water. Clean energy is
Recent heat waves and prolonged dry spells have pushed more mosquitoes into the state, raising worries about diseases like West Nile. When rains are scarce, storm drains and underground pipes hold leftover water that becomes perfect spots for mosquito babies to grow. Scientists point out that
Amsterdam has become the first world capital to forbid advertisements for meat and fossil fuels in public places. The move, which began on May 1, aims to discourage spending on high‑carbon products by removing their promotion from city walls and billboards. The ban also covers ads for airlines, gaso
The ocean hides tiny bacteria that can hurt people when the water is warm. Two kinds, Vibrio and Shewanella, are especially active in such conditions. In Norway between 2014 and 2018, doctors saw more cases than before. Scientists wanted to know why these infections were increasing. They collected
This week in Boston started with a surprise blast of rain and chilly winds. While Cape Cod and nearby islands soaked up over an inch from a storm spinning offshore, eastern Massachusetts got stuck with gray skies and gusty northwest winds. Temperatures barely scraped past the fifties, making it feel
