The Intersection of AI and Climate Denial: What We Know

A recent report from Inside Climate News explores the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and climate denial. As AI systems become increasingly prevalent in information dissemination, questions arise about their potential impact on public understanding of climate science. The intersection of these two topics — AI technology and climate denial — presents

Record-Breaking Sea Surface Temperatures Signal Strong El Niño Formation

Sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific region where El Niño forms have climbed to levels never before recorded at this stage of the climate cycle, according to new measurements. The daily readings exceed anything seen in the historical record, even though the El Niño event is still several months

Cascadia and San Andreas Faults May Rupture Together, Thousands of Years of Sediment Evidence Suggests

Background on the Two Fault Systems The Cascadia subduction zone lies offshore from northern California through Oregon, Washington, and into British Columbia, where the Juan de Fuca plate slides beneath the North American plate. The northern San Andreas fault runs through California. Both are capable of producing magnitude-8+ earthquakes,

Scientists Detect Sustained Weakening of Atlantic Ocean Circulation with Global Implications

A new scientific assessment has confirmed what climate researchers have long suspected: a vital ocean current system in the Atlantic is losing strength. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) serves as a major driver of global ocean currents, transporting warm water northward and cold water southward. This system plays a

Longest Satellite Record Confirms 12.5 Trillion Tons of Polar Ice Lost Since the 1970s

A comprehensive analysis leveraging the longest continuous satellite record of polar ice has provided stark new evidence of long-term climate change impacts. Researchers have determined that approximately 12.5 trillion tons of polar ice have been lost since the 1970s, a figure that highlights the scale of melting occurring
