A new method of detecting patches of floating macroplastics - larger than 5 millimetres - in marine environments has been made. The approach, which uses data from the European Space Agency Sentinel-2 satellites, is able to distinguish plastics from other materials with 86% accuracy.

The Arctic Ocean in summer will very likely be ice free before 2050, at least temporally. How often the Arctic will lose its sea-ice cover in the future critically depends on future CO2 emissions, the study shows. If emissions are reduced rapidly, ice-free years only occur occasionally.

Biomass fuels can significantly mitigate global warming. When compared with petroleum only emissions, ethanol with bioenergy was 78-290% better in reducing carbon emissions; ethanol was 204-416% improved, biomass powered electric vehicles powered by biomass was 74-303% cleaner

Scientists find far higher than expected rate of underwater glacial melting. The findings, which challenge current frameworks for analyzing ocean-glacier interactions, have implications for the rest of the world's tidewater glaciers, whose rapid retreat is contributing to sea-level rise.

Scientists have found that, left unchecked, the combined effects of deforestation and human-induced climate change could eliminate Madagascar's entire eastern rainforest habitat by 2070, impacting thousands of plants, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians that are endemic to the island nation

The North Atlantic Current may cease temporarily in the next century. It transports warm water from the Gulf of Mexico towards Europe, providing north-western Europe with a relatively mild climate. There is a 15% likelihood that there will be a temporary change in the current in the next 100 years.

The Tibetan Plateau, also known as the "roof of the world," is getting hotter. This process is especially fast in places marked by retreating snow. Changes in these mountain snow reserves are critical for the supply of water to billions of people in both China and India
