Gas Flaring Rose to a 6-Year High in 2025 — Here’s Why It Keeps Growing

Global gas flaring reached a six-year high in 2025, burning 167 billion cubic meters of natural gas worth $54 billion — enough to power all of sub-Saharan Africa. The World Bank's data exposes why voluntary industry pledges have repeatedly failed to reverse the trend. James Loftus - June 26, 2026

Monsoon Climate Change Creates Deadly Heat-Rain Double Threat, Study Warns

A new Institute of Atmospheric Physics-affiliated study warns that a shifting Indian Summer Monsoon is producing a deadly compound threat: extreme humid heat and intense flooding increasingly strike the same regions within the same season, overwhelming infrastructure and human health in ways neither hazard would alone.

Methane Traps 80x More Heat Than CO₂—and Most Leaks Go Undetected

Methane from oil and gas operations is 80 times more potent than CO₂ over 20 years, yet most leaks go undetected for months. Closing that measurement gap may be the fastest lever we have for slowing warming this decade. Alexander Gabriel - June 25, 2026

Grape Seeds in Space: How Cosmic Radiation Could Reshape Crop Breeding

In 2027, Texas A&M researchers will send hundreds of wine grape seeds to the International Space Station for six months, studying how cosmic radiation mutates plant DNA in ways that could accelerate climate-adaptive crop breeding on Earth. Will Lewis - June 25, 2026

Asteroid Day: Impact Odds, DART Results, and How We’d Stop a Strike

Asteroid Day, observed every June 30, marks humanity's growing ability to detect and deflect space rocks. From DART's validated kinetic-impactor results to the 40% detection gap for mid-size impactors, here's what the science actually says about the risk — and the plan. James Loftus - June 25, 2026

What Did Dinosaurs Really Look Like? Science vs. the Movies

Biomechanical studies and fossil soft-tissue evidence have overturned Hollywood's dinosaur — from T. rex's slow walking pace to feathered velociraptors. Here's what the science actually shows. Asher John - June 25, 2026
