Average temperatures in Kosovo have increased over the last decade, while farmers are facing longer periods of drought, heat waves, and short but intense rainfall.

Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns are making agricultural production increasingly unpredictable. Experts say farmers and institutions must adapt to these changes, from crop and variety selection to planting methods and timing

Europe wont get back its normal climate a swift transition from fossil fuels will prevent worse conditions

'Super' El Nio didn't cause this year's fires and heat waves, but it's about to take us on a 'wild ride'

Ocean-warming phenomenon could be historic, as it combines with human-caused climate change, scientists say

"Marion Cotillard: Losing interest in climate change is totally crazy

The French actress traveled to Biarritz Film Festival in collaboration with Chanel to support emerging talent, saying, The way that we look at young people, it says a lot about humanity
.,.,.,.,
Q. Biarritz also presents the Queer Gaze Award. Is that an important thing to honor right now

A. Yes, definitely. Because this is about more than supporting the community. We have to fight against obscurism, and they cannot fight alone. Like how women cannot fight alone for womens rights and we need men, the LGBTQ+ community cannot fight alone for their community. We need to be all together.
,..,,.,.,
Q. Bigger Than Us was a documentary on climate activism among the younger generations. How can we raise awareness about that crisis, when it is still being denied by so many people

A. You know, its not a trend anymore, which is absolutely horrifying to say. Today, we live it, and its getting worse. But the past 10 years, we talked about it a lot and it was like a hot topic. And today we dont. Weve lost interest, which is totally crazy.

Q. And with those June heatwaves in Biarritz

A. Yeah, but they will go away, and people will stop talking about them until the next time... and its getting closer and closer each time. I dont know what were waiting for.
.,.,..,,.
Q. In 2018, you and 81 other actresses protested at Cannes against the industrys gender gap. Has anything changed

A. Its still a problem. Were taking tiny, tiny steps forward, but we will have to fight for a long time. And we cannot have only women fighting for womens rights. If men had to fight for a right, though I dont know what it would be, I bet they would be like, Where are the women Now, we are fighting for the protection of young people in France. Where are the men when were fighting for youth protection This is mental."

The worlds vast permafrost regions contain three times more carbon than all living vegetation. Some are thawing and emitting more and more greenhouse gases.

cannot refreeze back. "Once you pass the permafrosts threshold and the ice has gone and the landscape has changed, it is not going to come back for hundreds of years. On a human timescale, those systems have then effectively tipped into a system that will keep emitting carbon for decades or centuries."

"Unfortunately, there are no feasible geoengineering solutions on a broad scale. The only way to limit the thawing of millions of square kilometres is to reduce emissions rapidly. We need to act urgently."

The Fight Over Spraying Roundup in Californias Forests Has Only Gotten Bigger.

"Adapting to climate change will be increasingly challenging as the weather worsens each year, Asias top climate scientist said in a wide-ranging interview."

Prof. from Hong Kongs City University also warned of humanitarian disasters as the worlds climate becomes more unstable and unpredictable"

Picture a forest of black spruce in disarray, trees leaning to and fro, some tilting so dramatically they look as though theyre struggling to stay upright. If they were humans, you might suspect theyd had a wild night out &, fittingly, trees in this state are called drunken forests

Engineers building a solar farm near the Arctic Circle got used to hearing Who the hell builds a solar plant in Lapland

The Simo solar park now runs for almost 22 hours a day every summer (and in the winter snow reflecting light onto double-sided panels turns out to be a killer feature).

Nordic investors added more new solar than wind for the first time last year, and Sweden and Finland have both hit their 2030 solar targets years early.

Earths oceans were warmer than any day in recorded history Friday due to a combination of long-term human-caused global warming and short-term effects of El Nio.

The average sea surface temperature of 21.1 degrees Celsius, or 70 degrees Fahrenheit, breaks the old record of 21.09 degrees Celsius set many times in early 2024 during the most recent El Nio

Radiation trends conduct to revising climate predictions upward.

"Recent data of the amount of heat energy trapped within the Earth systemthe energy imbalanceindicates that Earth may actually be warming faster, aligned with models that forecast higher temperatures."

"Our findings indicate that it becomes increasingly difficult to exclude models with strong future warming."

Whale sharks are fading. Down 50% globally & over 65% in the Indo-Pacific, they're now Endangered.

Climate change shifts their food into busy shipping lanes, causing deadly ship strikes. Plus, they're still caught in tuna nets.

Protected, yet vanishing. Our tuna habits are tied to their fate.

Federal officials announced sharp water cuts for the next two years on Friday for three Western states that rely on the imperiled .

Under the plan, California, Nevada and Arizona will collectively reduce water use by 1.25 million acre-feet (about 1.54 billion cubic meters) annually during that period, with the possibility of larger cuts depending on conditions.

Arizona will see the biggest cuts, while states upstream , , and do not face any for now.

Meanwhile neighboring
