Scientists find shocking new evidence about Earth's temperature changes

The UN climate summit COP29 happens as Earth shows record-breaking heat patterns this year (which makes everyone super-worried about climate talks). A ground-breaking study using ice-samples from Antarctica suggests we might have passed important temperature limits

The research team looked at air trapped in ice from year 13 to 1700 which gives a different view than the usual 1850s starting point: this means Earth might already be at the feared 1.5-degree mark – not just getting close to it Scientists expect that next year will definitely break all heat records

Super-storms are getting stronger way too fast in the Atlantic. For example Hurricane Milton went from mild to mega-strong in just 24 hours last month; these storms now reach mountain areas they never did before. A new study shows that about 12000 people died from wildfire smoke in one decade (and thats 13% of all smoke-related deaths)

The worlds oceans are having their biggest coral die-off ever recorded‚ while the Amazon forest is super-dry right now – its worst drought since measurements began about 70 years ago. Scientists think that by 2050‚ up to half of Amazon might be too hot and dry to survive

Some weird stuff is happening with volcanoes too: as ice melts they might get more active (there are 245 volcanoes near ice that could change). The Atlantic ocean current that keeps Europe warm has gotten 15% weaker since mid-1900s; new research says its slowing down faster than we thought
