With the planet heating up in more obvious ways, new models show that up to six billion people could be stranded in zones too hostile for humans by 2100.

Thawing permafrost is revealing a ticking time bomb of climate change that doesn't get nearly enough attention for the devastation it could cause.
# science
Global warming is making heat weaves in already scorching years much worse. And none of us are ready for just how nasty things could get.
# politics
A far right militia butting into wildfire cleanup efforts is a dark sign of things to come if we don't fight the climate crisis.
# science
Don't ignore the media attention to worldwide heatwaves. They're a warning sign of why we can't handle climate change.
# space
Researchers from MIT want to deploy a raft of space bubbles to block sunlight and fight global warming. It probably won't work.
# science
Humanity won't collapse from climate change thanks to the steps we've already taken. But we will still be in serious trouble if we don't do more.
# science
Chemists think they figured out the process of capturing the greenhouse gas to turn it into fuel for airplanes. But the big question is whether we'd actually want to do this.
# science
Denialists are now imagining cabals of ecoterrorists burning down entire ecosystems so they don't have to admit that scientists were right about the symptoms of climate change.

Politicians aren't in a hurry to lower emissions even as the world's temperature rises. Can we buy more time to fix the environment with a giant orbiting sunshade?
# tech
Planes capable of suborbital flights reducing emissions from air travel sounds absurd at first glance, but a lot more plausible when you consider the technology they plan to use.
# science
NASA reviewed predictions of how the planet should be warming generated by its GISTEMP dataset to see how accurate its models were, and the results were hardly shocking.

Toxic algal blooms are on the rise thanks to warming oceans, and that's bad news for nations that rely on calories from seafood…
# science
With the planet still heating up while politicians are either twiddling their thumbs or actively making things worse, prepare for conversations about climate change to have a very different tone.
# politics
In today's Gilded Age with global warming, advocacy for socialism is on the rise, framed as a requirement to save our planet. But the idea that socialism can save us from ourselves has been tried before. It ended badly.
