Key Points

There is no question that the current global temperature increase is human-caused. Global warming has long since emerged as the dominant signal amid natural climate fluctuations. However, identifying how this warming manifests regionally remains a key challenge.

'Wake-up call': Danger from heatwaves 'underestimated' for people over 60

People over 60 face heat exposure danger at lower temperatures, study suggests In short: A new global study suggests older people may face serious health risks from heat at much lower temperatures than previously understood. The study found the temperature at which people age 60 and older could "no longer maintain a stable core temperature" was roughly 4.7–7.5 degrees Celsius lower than for young adults. Researchers say there's a need for targeted, age-specific action plans and warning...

What Is El Niño? Here’s What It Means for Weather, Water, and Global Economy

El Niño looks to reach an intensity unprecedented in recorded history. Characterized by warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, El Niño occurs every few years. Meteorological agencies and researchers around the world are on high alert because when the heat stored in the ocean is released into the atmosphere, it triggers a chain reaction that affects rainfall, temperatures, and even hurricane activity around the world.
