In 2024, record ocean heat triggered mass coral bleaching, affecting 84% of coral reef areas worldwide. Marine heatwaves, now three times more frequent due to climate change, are killing algae that sustain corals. Scientists warn this may cause irreversible damage to marine ecosystems.

115India’s environment ministry has proposed mandatory greenhouse gas emission intensity (GEI) targets for high-emission industries, effective 2025–26. The draft rule covers 282 entities and introduces penalties for non-compliance. The move supports India’s 2070 net zero goal and prepares industries for future carbon regulations like the EU’s CBAM.

167A new study published in The Lancet Planetary Health links rising temperatures and CO₂ levels with increased arsenic in rice. Researchers from Columbia University found that by 2050, this may drastically raise cancer and other health risks across Asian countries where rice is a staple. The findings are based on a 10-year field study on

118India’s excessive groundwater extraction—over 25% of the global total—is causing Earth’s axis to shift, scientists warn. This phenomenon, called polar motion, stems from mass imbalance due to water withdrawal. The shift may have long-term consequences, including altered seasons, extreme weather, and rising sea levels. Affected regions include Punjab, Haryana, and major cities like Delhi and

180A new study by Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers finds that existing satellites severely underestimate CO₂ emissions from power plants. Analyzing 2021 data from 1,060 U.S. plants, researchers found current satellites detect only 29% of total emissions. The study recommends new satellite systems with finer resolution, higher precision, and daily monitoring to improve emission detection.

101New research shows solar power shortages, or “solar droughts,” are increasing due to rising demand and climate disruptions. A study spanning 1984–2014 found frequent shortages in tropical and developing regions, where the need for cooling is critical. Future scenarios suggest the problem could worsen without emissions control. BulletsIn Solar drought = 3+ days when power
