A study in Nature suggests the amount of carbon that humans can still emit and still keep warming to 1.5 °C may be exhausted within the next 6 years.

Humans are still pumping enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That puts this decade's climate goals further out of reach.

West Antarctica is headed for decades of rapid melting no matter how quickly humans cut greenhouse gas emissions, and 2023 shattered records for missing sea ice around the continent.

The majority of Americans think climate change will kill and displace a large number of people in the U.S. in the next 30 years, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center.
