Quick Glance: All Ski Resorts to Face Snow Shortage
  • Scientists predict increasing snow shortage in most ski resorts worldwide due to climate change.

  • A drastic reduction in CO2 emissions could mitigate snow shortage and increase the number of days with snow cover.

  • Lower elevations in ski resorts are more affected by snow loss, forcing operations to higher altitudes or resorting to artificial means.

  • Study examined ski resorts in various regions globally and projected significant losses in natural snow cover by the year 2100.

Quick Glance: UN Issues Climate Change Warning After Record Heat and Ice Melt
  • The UN weather agency is raising the alarm about climate change, warning that global efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.

  • The 1.5-degree limit of the Paris Climate Agreement is at risk as the average temperature from March 2023 to February 2024 exceeded this threshold.

  • In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once, glaciers lost record amounts of ice, and Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest level.

  • Despite the alarming news, there is a glimmer of hope as renewable energy capacity has significantly increased, and calls for more climate action are growing.

Quick Glance: Earth Records Hottest February and Ninth Consecutive Record Month
  • Earth just experienced its warmest February, marking a monthly record for the ninth consecutive time, as announced by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday.

  • The relentless and exceptional global warmth, driven by human-caused warming and the El Niño climate pattern, has affected both land and ocean areas since June, raising concerns among scientists about the planet surpassing a critical climate threshold and the potential for an active Atlantic hurricane season.

  • The month's average global air temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius was 0.12 degrees warmer than the previous warmest February in 2016. The warmth of the past 12-month period is unprecedented in modern records, standing at 1.56 degrees warmer than preindustrial levels.

  • The new temperature records emerged just a month after the planet's 12-month average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time, leading scientists to worry about the increased likelihood of reaching tipping points with catastrophic consequences if the Earth's temperature remains near or above that threshold for extended periods.

Quick Glance: North Korea Advances Hypersonic Missile Development
  • North Korea successfully tested a solid-fuel engine for its new-type intermediate-range hypersonic missile, designed to strike distant U.S. targets in the region.

  • Kim Jong Un guided the ground test of the solid-fuel engine for the hypersonic missile, emphasizing the strategic importance of this new weapon.

  • The development of hypersonic weapons aims to overcome U.S. and South Korean missile defense systems, although their desired speed and maneuverability have not been proven in recent tests.

  • Observers anticipate North Korea escalating its missile tests ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November, with the U.S. and South Korea expanding their military exercises in response.

Quick Glance: Biden reinstates protections for threatened species
  • The Biden administration restored rules on Thursday to protect imperiled plants and animals that had been rolled back under former President Donald Trump.

  • The new rules include protections for species newly classified as threatened without considering economic impacts.

  • The proposed rules faced significant opposition from Republicans who argued that Biden's administration favored conservation over development.

  • Industry groups have long seen the 1973 Endangered Species Act as an impediment, leading to weaken environmental safeguards under the Trump administration.

Quick Glance: Oil and Gas Industry Emitting Significantly Higher Methane Levels Than Reported
  • A new study reveals that the oil and gas industry emits about three times the amount of climate-warming methane than government estimates show.

  • Researchers used airplanes to collect nearly one million measurements of methane emissions from six domestic oil and gas production areas.

  • The study found that the industry releases an average of 2.95% of the gas it produces as methane into the air, almost three times the EPA estimates.

  • Despite declining methane emissions in the US, more efforts are needed to achieve global climate goals, including reducing methane emissions from the energy sector.
