Neue Indizien für einen Golfstrom-Kollaps“ oder „AMOC: Wie fragil ist Europas Wärmepumpe?“ Alle reden vom Golfstrom-Kollaps oder davon, dass die AMOC schwächer werden könnte. Aber wie funktionieren diese Meeresströmungen überhaupt? In diesem Video erklären wir die Grundlagen.

"We have a sick patient, but she's still standing." 🤒 - @jrockstrom at Climate Week NYC. Science says that Earth now sits right at the edge of the danger zone, with 7 of 9 boundaries already breached. The safe operating space is still reachable, but the window is closing.

Today, we launched the Planetary Health Check 2026. Seven of nine Planetary Boundaries are transgressed, and pressure on all seven is at its highest recorded level. Yet, we still have a window to change course. But we need to move fast. pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…

Global warming is set to cross 1.5°C, pushing climate risks and impacts to increasingly dangerous heights, a new UNEP report warns.   Predicted impacts include extreme weather and threats to human health and economies.   Action now can still limit the magnitude and duration of the peak and preserve the possibility of returning to or below 1.5°C through an ‘overshoot, peak, and decline’ pathway   Explore more: unep.org/news-and-stories/pr…

We are pushing beyond our planet's safe operating space. But science also gives us solutions. If your research helps keep us within Planetary Boundaries, apply for the 5th edition of the @FrontiersIn Planet Prize. It's the final stretch for applying. frontiersplanetprize.org/con…
