Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There are signs that this is already happening, and a more abrupt shift could warn of more severe climate impacts
Open access notables Abrupt Gulf Stream path changes are a precursor to a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation , van Westen & Dijkstra, Communications Earth & Environment The Gulf Stream is part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a tipping element and may collapse under changing forcing. However, the role of the Gulf Stream in such a tipping event is unknown. Here, we investigate the link between the AMOC and Gulf Stream using a high-resolution (0. 1°) stand-alone ocean simulation, in which the AMOC collapses under a slowly-increasing freshwater forcing. AMOC weakening gradually shifts the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras northward, followed by an abrupt northward displacement of 219 km within...

This is a re-post from Yale Climate Connections by Jeff Masters In brief The strongest hurricanes are likely to grow stronger as a result of climate change. So far, there has been no significant increase or decrease in the number of major hurricanes making landfall in the United States. However, it’s likely that there has been an increase in the number of major hurricanes in the Atlantic as a whole since 1946. Also, the intensity of landfalling continental U.S. hurricanes has increased, so even if the total number of landfalls has not increased, their potential to do damage has. When major hurricanes do hit, they will do more damage than they did in the past: They will be stronger, wetter, and bring higher storm tides because of sea...

New analysis from EMBER argues the problem isn’t the transition — it’s the way we’ve been counting it.

Here, we analyze global trends in extreme fire weather days (FWI95d, annual count of days with Fire Weather Index above the 95th percentile) over 1980–2023, using climate model ensembles, observational data, and fingerprint detection techniques. We find that the observed increase in extreme fire weather bears a clear externally forced signal, detectable at 99% confidence above natural variability and attributable to human-induced climate change. This emerging human-induced fingerprint...
The Trump administration has withdrawn the United States from more than 60 international institutions, including critical science bodies, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) (1). This decision marks a notable retreat from the leadership role that the US has played in both bodies since their inception (2, 3). The federal abdication of commitment to these bodies will harm their work, prevent scientific advances, and degrade multilateral cooperation to address global crises. Scientists, universities, civil society, and philanthropies must fill the gaps to ensure continued US engagement with IPCC and IPBES.

This is a re-post from The Climate Brink by Andrew Dessler When people debate the cost of fossil fuels versus renewables, the conversation almost always centers on the price at the pump or the cost per kilowatt-hour on your electricity bill. That’s understandable — those are the costs you can see. But they’re not the whole story. The rest of the story are subsidies. In most discussions, it’s laser-focused on subsidies for renewable energy, not fossil fuels. But fossil fuels get enormous subsidies. Those are deeply hidden, though, spread across government budgets, healthcare systems, and military spending in ways most people can’t connect back to their energy choices. To the extent that they do get attention, most of it goes to the implicit...

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 16 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02581-5We combined electric vehicle simulation and battery degradation models with high-resolution downscaled climate data for 300 global cities.

Thus, technological advances in electric vehicle battery manufacturing demonstrate important climate adaptation co-benefits.
