Climate change may shift hailstorms toward Earth's poles—new study
Climate change may shift hailstorms toward Earth's poles—new study Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Everyone has a storm story—whether it's that time you just escaped a downpour, or the hailstorm that wrote off your car. Even though hailstorms are relatively rare, they cause significant damage. Two new studies shed light on how hail might change as the world warms.
Climate change is fuelling 'large marble-sized' hailstones and Europe isn't immune
Europe suffers huge economic losses due to hailstorms, but climate experts warn that rising temperatures is only making them bigger and more damaging. Global warming will likely make bigger hailstones that could cause "major damage" to vehicles, solar panels and other infrastructure. Human-caused climate change from burning polluting fossil fuels makes more high-energy unstable air, which is conducive to hail forming and global storms.
On-demand Arctic observations with low-cost balloon systems could sharpen local storm forecasts
On-demand Arctic observations with low-cost balloon systems could sharpen local storm forecasts Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Arctic communities are increasingly exposed to dangerous weather events due to climate change and rely on accurate weather forecasts. However, conditions in the lower atmosphere remain poorly observed in the Arctic because monitoring systems are expensive and difficult to deploy. Now, researchers propose a new framework for on-demand...
Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study
Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Diminishing periods of snow cover in northern forests, shortened by climate change, are poised to disrupt a delicate balance in some of the planet's most climate-sensitive regions—according to new research from McMaster University, VU Amsterdam, and the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Historically, carbon emissions from northern forest fires were counteracted...
2025 costliest year on record for wildfires, study finds
2025 costliest year on record for wildfires, study finds Wildfires accounted for 38 per cent of all insured natural hazard losses globally - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments Wildfires caused more financial damage in 2025 than in any other year, with catastrophic fires in the US, South Korea and Europe killing about 90 people and forcing roughly 300,000 to evacuate, a new study found. Wildfires accounted for 38 per cent of all insured natural hazard losses globally in 2025 – more than...
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
Toddler fighting for life after inflatable house thrown into air by violent storm
Toddler fighting for life after inflatable house thrown into air by violent storm Six people were hospitalised after the incident in Greater Montreal, medics said - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments A three-year-old child is in a critical condition in Canada after a violent thunderstorm launched an inflatable house into the air with a number of kids trapped inside. The storm swept through the Greater Montreal area Sunday afternoon, wreaking havoc on Ouellette Park in the borough of LaSalle...
Record wildfire losses rocked 2025 even as global burned area neared all-time lows
Record wildfire losses rocked 2025 even as global burned area neared all-time lows Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new analysis of global wildfire activity in 2025 reveals the world experienced some of the most destructive and deadly fire events in recent history, despite the second lowest area burned since 2002. It highlights a continued trend toward fires becoming increasingly extreme, costly, and disastrous—both economically and in lives lost. Led by the...
Iran denies involvement in Albanian protests
TIRANA — Iran has rebuked claims by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama that it is behind disinformation campaigns surrounding protests in Albania that are now in their ninth day. Albanian citizens have been protesting throughout the country and in the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Greece against a proposed $1.4 billion real estate development linked to Jared Kushner since last week, with the number of protesters increasing each day. In an interview with POLITICO, Rama said...
Smoke engulfed their cities. Did it make their children sick?
Mothers fear children's chronic illnesses are linked to bushfire smoke during pregnancy Sun 31 May 2026 at 5:16am Six years after Black Summer bushfires, parents and doctors face an unsettling question: What does bushfire smoke do to babies in the womb? This story is a collaboration between the ABC's climate team and climate media organisation Grist. They never thought the fires would reach them.
