2026 Ozone Hole Is 7th Largest Ever — So Why Is Recovery Still on Track?

NOAA and NASA confirmed the 2026 Antarctic ozone hole is the seventh largest in 48 years of measurements — yet scientists say long-term recovery remains on track, because an unusually powerful polar vortex, not worsening chemistry, drove this year's outsized result.

NASA’s TSIS-2 Passes Vacuum and Vibration Tests — Climate Models Depend on It

NASA's TSIS-2 mission has completed vacuum and vibration testing — a demanding pre-launch gauntlet — moving the solar irradiance satellite closer to delivering the precise sunlight measurements that underpin global climate models and Earth's energy imbalance research.

NASA’s Antarctic Skull Is Real — and the Ice Loss Behind It Is Scarier

NASA released a genuine, unaltered satellite image of Antarctica's Vega Island forming a skull shape staring toward Devil Island — but the real story is the measurable ice loss visible between the 2025 and 2026 shots, linked to record-warm winters on Earth's fastest-warming peninsula.

25 Oil-Tied Groups Filed Supreme Court Briefs to Kill a Climate Lawsuit

A new Consumer Watchdog report reveals that every one of the 25 organizations filing amicus briefs to dismiss a landmark climate deception lawsuit against Suncor and ExxonMobil carries documented financial or organizational ties to the defendant oil companies — exposing a coordinated legal infrastructure operating under the guise of independent expertise.

Why Rivers Are Running Dry Decades Before Hydrology Models Predicted

Three interacting mechanisms — atmospheric moisture demand, severed groundwater buffers, and soil moisture debt — are draining rivers like the Rio Grande and Colorado decades ahead of what hydrological models forecast, forcing researchers to revise core water cycle assumptions.

Liangzhu: The Neolithic Jade City That Drowned in 2300 BCE Flood

Around 2300 BCE, the Liangzhu civilization — a Neolithic proto-state in China with 100 km of dams and over 15,000 jade artifacts — was catastrophically submerged by monsoon flooding, a collapse now linked by researchers to ancient Chinese flood legends. Alexander Gabriel - August 11, 2026
