El Niño looks to reach an intensity unprecedented in recorded history. Characterized by warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, El Niño occurs every few years. Meteorological agencies and researchers around the world are on high alert because when the heat stored in the ocean is released into the atmosphere, it triggers a chain
Regions such as Galicia, Asturias, Castile and León, Madrid, Aragon, Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and the Balearic Islands experienced the path of totality, while the rest of the country saw a partial eclipse.

The emissions from powering data centers rightly get a lot of attention. But new research from former Microsoft sustainability workers cautions that the way artificial intelligence enhances productivity in the oil and gas industry could be much more damaging to the planet. Published last week in the journal npj Climate Action, the research finds that
In October 2025, a storm brewed over the Caribbean Sea. Weather models differed on its trajectory. Would it remain weak and end up in Haiti, or would it intensify and head to Jamaica? Artificial intelligence model WeatherNext, developed by Google’s DeepMind and Google Research, went with the latter. Five days before landfall, it predicted with
the world could are facing the strongest El Niño phenomenon since records began, increasing the likelihood of extreme weather events and significant long-term economic impacts globally. A new analysis by Berkeley Earth climate scientist Zeke Hausfather paints a worrying picture of the climate phenomenon unfolding in the Pacific Ocean. Models have consistently predicted that this
the idea that Cancer could behave like a contagious disease may seem absurd; In humans, cancer cannot be transmitted from one person to another. However, nature is still full of surprises. In rare cases, the cancer cells themselves can pass from one individual to another and continue to multiply in a new host. This rare
