According to the forecasts of the World Meteorological Organization, this year's El Niño is expected to strengthen further due to the extraordinarily warm conditions in the Pacific Ocean, reaching its peak by the end of the year, while its effects will still be felt until 2027. (translated)
According to UN scientists, the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold for global warming can no longer be maintained, so the report focuses on how to minimize the time the planet spends above the critical temperature after crossing it. (translated)
The UN has warned that the current El Niño phenomenon is the strongest in the last 70 years and may last until February 2027, having serious impacts on global weather conditions and economies. (translated)
Recent research warns that approximately 15 million people worldwide live in areas at risk of sudden flooding due to glacier melt, particularly in the high mountain ranges of Asia that are at the highest risk. (translated)
After the severe wildfire season, sharp debates erupted in the European Parliament between those acknowledging climate change and deniers, reflecting the different political positions regarding disaster management and the necessity of preventive measures. (translated)
The consequences of climate change are already appearing in the Alps, as the processes of the Nepalese glacier disaster can be compared to similar events that are also having destructive effects in Europe. (translated)
According to a study led by Hungarian researcher Dániel Topál, the unusually warm waters of the western tropical Pacific Ocean and the atmospheric processes derived from them are behind the ice mass gain observed in Antarctica between 2021 and 2023, which temporarily slowed the total mass loss of the ice sheet.

As a result of the landslide at the Tibetan border, the disappearance of 261 foreigners, including one Hungarian citizen, has been reported, while rescue operations in Nepal are facing difficulties due to bad weather. (translated)
Eörs Szathmáry, an evolutionary biologist, warns of the dangers threatening human civilization and explains that alongside climate change, the development of artificial intelligence could also have serious consequences for the future, where people may fight for arable land and water. (translated)
László Gajdos's most important task now is to reverse the direction of domestic water policy so that Hungary does not become a desert, which is also supported by a new government decree emphasizing water retention. (translated)
The ministry urges a coordinated international action to address the issues of climate change and drought, emphasizing the importance of cross-border water management for Hungary. (translated)
At least 162 people have lost their lives in a flood caused by a glacier collapse in Nepal, while around 1,500 people, including tourists and pilgrims, are being searched for, and experts say that climate change may also contribute to the increasing risk of similar disasters in the region. (translated)
This year's wildfires across Europe not only cause devastation but also carry the risk of activating World War I and World War II bombs and mines hidden in the soil, which represents another serious danger due to climatic changes. (translated)
The global ocean temperature rose to 21.1 degrees Celsius on August 22, setting a record due to the effects of a strong El Niño phenomenon developing in the Pacific Ocean and human-caused climate change. (translated)
The temperature record of the world's oceans rose to 21.1 degrees Celsius on August 22, which is an alarming sign with the strong El Niño phenomenon approaching, as the warm water could threaten marine ecosystems and coastal communities. (translated)
The Copernicus Climate Change Service announced that a global record was broken in ocean temperatures, as data from August 22 indicates that sea surface temperature rose to 21.1 degrees Celsius, surpassing the previous record measured in 2024, and warning of the adverse effects of El Niño, which can lead to extreme weather events and famine. (translated)
In Europe, at least 35,000 more deaths have been recorded due to summer heatwaves than would normally be expected, and the actual numbers are expected to be even higher, as the data only pertains to half of the continent and does not include the figures for August. (translated)
According to a warning from the British Meteorological Institute, an extremely strong El Niño phenomenon is occurring over the Pacific Ocean, which is expected to result in the warmest global year ever recorded by 2027. (translated)
Recent research indicates that older adults are at much greater risk from heatwaves caused by climate change, as even a 1.5 degree Celsius increase in temperature can pose severe burdens for them, and in the future, the number of at-risk populations could dramatically increase due to the extent of global warming. (translated)
According to the latest forecasts, an extraordinary heat is expected by 2027, which we would only experience around 2040 based on the current rate of climate change, and this may be driven by a strong El Niño that could dramatically raise the global average temperature. (translated)
