TB to Davos 2017, where former VP of the US and environmentalist, Al Gore, emphasized the urgent responsibility before us.

Today, Arctic scientists are our guiding evidence: we must act immediately and halt the misuse of our atmosphere.

A new report warns the world is still headed for a catastrophic 2.6 °C temperature rise by 2100. Fossil fuel emissions are at record highs, and even COP 30 plans won’t prevent it (The Guardian, 2025).

In Davos 2017, Christiana Figueres shared a lesson:

“Even as the tide rises and falls, the river never reverses its flow.”

Serving as a reminder that no matter how low the tide of climate action may seem, our direction forward musn’t change.

Antarctica is changing faster than ever before.

Scientists warn that Antarctica may be crossing climatic tipping points, with ice loss now nearly six times higher than in the 1990s.

For the first time in over 40 years, the Gulf of Panama’s seasonal upwelling(when deep, cold, nutrient-rich ocean water rises to the surface)—responsible for cooling waters and feeding marine life—completely failed in 2025.

On October 12, 2025, the remnants of Typhoon Halong tore through Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta with 107 mph winds, sweeping entire homes.

As the Arctic warms at an average rate of four times faster than the global average, storms once confined to the tropics are now reaching higher latitudes.

The real scare this Halloween isn’t under your bed — it’s climate change.
Fear is rational when the threat is real. Apathy is fatal.
Let’s perform hope — and turn fear into action.

🌎 How Americans Get Their Climate News Is Changing

Local TV still matters for many (18%), but more Americans are turning to online sources for climate information. This shift makes it more important than ever to ensure accurate, evidence-based climate news reaches everyone.

As COP30 approaches, Brazil is facing record-breaking climate extremes.

Melting polar ice and weakening jet streams are intensifying floods, heatwaves, and wildfires, putting more than 40 million Brazilians at risk from heat stress, water shortages, and disease.

Continued polar ice loss could disrupt these systems, potentially leading to an ice-free Arctic Ocean—an outcome with profound implications for environmental stability worldwide.

When polar ice melts, it alters ocean circulation and atmospheric patterns, influencing rainfall and temperature far from the poles, causing weather extremes such as droughts and floods. These disruptions can affect global agriculture, food security, and commodity markets, including cocoa.

The Arctic may feel far away, but its changes ripple across the globe. Protecting sea ice means protecting wildlife, ecosystems, and ourselves.
