Climate Change Could Exacerbate Malaria in Africa Before 2050
New study warns malaria risk rises as climate disruptions intensify Climate change is likely to push malaria infections higher across Africa by 2050, not only through warmer temperatures but more importantly through extreme weather events that disrupt health systems. A comprehensive scientific assessment suggests that recurring floods, storms, and droughts could alter mosquito habitats, shorten…

Understanding Australia’s Unprecedented Heat Dome: Why 50°C Temperatures Could Persist
What’s driving the extreme heat? Across large parts of Australia, a stubborn heat dome has taken hold, trapping a layer of hot air near the surface and suppressing cloud formation. This pattern funnels tropical warmth down over inland regions and can create a prolonged period of record-breaking temperatures. Scientists describe it as a high-pressure ridge…
