In an unexpected but no-less-depressing development, NASA has announced that 2024 was the hottest year on record. This wasn’t an anomaly, as every one of the past 10 years has been one of the 10 hottest years in the planet’s history. Climate change is a serious problem in need of a serious solution — but what counts as
Today’s ESG Updates Chicago Researchers Warn Super El Niño Could Drive Heat Deaths Past 450,000: A new analysis projects the current “super El Niño” could cause up to 451,000 excess heat deaths, with East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa hit hardest. EU Governments Move to Keep Carbon Prices From Spiking: EU countries agreed to keep more
Today’s ESG Updates Hardware Stocks Retreat: Despite continued strength in chip manufacturing, investors pulled back amid concerns the sector had become overheated. Oil & Gas Firms Push Back on EU Regulations: Industry groups criticized the Commission’s approach, while the EU signaled it will assess the impact of current rules before considering revisions, but the new
When energy costs spike, it is households and businesses who pay the price. From homes cooking with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in India to drivers of mass transit jeepney vehicles in the Philippines, the human cost of energy insecurity is visible in every crisis. And these crises are not exceptional: the world has experienced roughly
Last year was the second- or third-hottest year on record, and the planet seems to keep heating up. At about 1.43 °C above pre-industrial levels, the planet is swiftly approaching the Paris Agreement‘s 2°C limit on temperature increase. The state of the climate relies on the balance of solar energy input and eventual energy output.
In January, headlines were dominated by the four shark bites occurring within 48 hours off Australia’s coast. This is not the first instance in the past few decades of multiple human-shark encounters occurring within a very short period of time off the same coast. Like many bizarre environmental phenomena, human behavior can explain these attacks.
For much of the last century, financial logic was governed by a simple, foundational rule: equities for growth, representing a bet on a prosperous future, and gold as a safe-haven, serving as insurance against a disastrous one. This essential dichotomy dictated global capital flows. In 2025, this logic has dissolved. We observe a profound and
In 2025, the systems meant to protect girls are faltering. Global aid is in retreat. Gender rights are being rolled back. And the promise of 12 years of education for every girl, once a global commitment, is now at risk of becoming a forgotten goal. For the last decade, Malala Fund has helped girls stay
Antarctic sea ice was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2023. It started with the lowest extent ever recorded in January, based on a satellite record going back to 1978 — a worrying sign in itself. Normally Antarctic sea ice reaches a minimum extent of around 3 million square km in February. In
“Data is the language of scientists and makes the unexplainable, explainable” was the rationale of NASA’s science chief, Thomas Zurbuchen, last week as he explained why the space agency launched a new team of experts to study unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), aka UFOs. UAPs, as NASA explains, are described as “observations of events in the
New analysis led by researchers from the Met Office, the UK’s national meteorological service, reveals the likelihood of surpassing the key 1.5 °C global warming limit has risen to nearly 50 percent in 2022, compared to 20 percent in 2020. Breaking records of heat Scientists say it is near indisputable (93 percent likelihood) that by
Deforestation has plagued the Amazon rainforest for generations. Evidence suggests that the crisis is only deepening, whilst economic priorities consistently outvote desperate warnings of the rainforest’s demise. Scientists and environmental experts have consistently sounded the alarm to the consequences that deforestation is having in the Amazon, cautioning that the “lungs of the earth” are on
