Megan Prescott, Bree Essrig and Jessica Riches are attached to a project that, according to the claim circulating online, presents a new approach to climate storytelling. Details about the project's format, funders or release are not given. It is being shared alongside hashtags about climate change, fossil fuels and environmental politics.

India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, speaking in Berlin, sharply criticised developed Western nations over climate change, telling them 'You caused the problem' and pressing them to take greater responsibility for emissions and climate finance. His remarks have drawn wide attention online, with supporters applauding his defence of developing countries and others debating whether the confrontation was diplomatic.

New Jersey Assemblywoman Fantasia is raising objections to a climate change bill, questioning both its constitutionality and its cost. The assemblywoman voiced her concerns through the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, a group that often weighs in on legislation affecting the state's business community. No further details about the bill or her specific arguments were provided.

A comedic sketch titled 'Ben Girthmasterr' is circulating online, playing on innuendo about El Niño 'becoming really big, very very big' before pivoting to the climate phenomenon itself. The piece, credited to Prescott, Essrig and Riches, mixes humor with climate messaging, tagging climate change, climate action and big oil in an effort to make environmental storytelling more shareable.

Australian politician Barnaby Joyce has vowed to 'get rid' of the Climate Change Department if given the chance, drawing strong reactions from supporters and climate advocates alike. The statement adds to ongoing debate in Australia over climate policy and the role of government institutions in addressing emissions and environmental targets.

Attention is turning to the visible effects of global climate change, specifically the retreat of glaciers and the thawing of permafrost. Science communicators are explaining how melting ice signals long-term warming, with audiences engaging heavily with material on what glacier and permafrost loss means for sea levels, ecosystems and greenhouse gas release.

Attention is turning to the Victoria Mode, a climate pattern linked to sea surface temperature changes in the North Atlantic that influences India's monsoon rainfall. The concept is being explained for civil services geography students, as the pattern is seen as a hidden driver of monsoon variability that could appear in UPSC exam questions.

Samaa TV's business coverage highlights three issues dominating discussion in Pakistan: the rollout of a smart electricity meter project, the impact of climate change on the country, and the latest petrol price. Pakistan is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change, while power billing and fuel costs directly affect household expenses, putting all three topics at the centre of public debate.

A commentary circulating online argues that climate change should not be treated as a shared problem equally attributed to everyone. The author says addressing the climate crisis is straightforward: rein in the richest people, curb their power and emissions, and tax their wealth. The argument targets the framing of climate responsibility as collective, pushing instead for policies aimed at the wealthiest emitters.

A conference focused on addressing climate change in the Global South is drawing attention, as reported by China Daily Hong Kong. The event highlights efforts to tackle climate impacts in developing regions, though details on participants, outcomes, and specific initiatives remain limited in the available reporting.

New York is preparing to appeal court rulings that struck down its Climate Change Superfund Act, a law requiring large fossil fuel companies to pay for climate adaptation costs in the state. The decision to challenge the rulings keeps alive one of the most closely watched climate accountability laws in the United States, and the outcome could shape similar efforts elsewhere.

An analysis traces the evolution of climate policy in Russia, examining how the country's approach to emissions, energy and environmental commitments has changed over time. The piece considers how Russia balances its fossil fuel dependence with international climate obligations, and what its policy shifts mean for global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

A new study finds that climate change is exposing weaknesses in Europe's network of protected areas. As temperatures rise and species shift their ranges, many designated conservation zones no longer cover the habitats where wildlife is moving, leaving biodiversity poorly protected. Researchers say the network should be expanded and made more flexible to keep pace with changing environmental conditions across the continent.

Conservation voices are highlighting the Giant Eland, the world's largest antelope, known for its majestic spiral horns and found in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Campaigners warn that hunting, deforestation and climate change are pushing the species toward decline, and are urging people to support wildlife protection, including through vegan lifestyle choices and boycotting products linked to habitat destruction such as palm oil.

Candidates in Alaska's Senate race rarely raise climate change on the campaign trail, but they frequently discuss fish, a topic central to the state's economy and identity. The framing matters: fisheries are being squeezed by warming waters and shifting stocks, letting candidates address climate impacts without using the politically charged term. The discrepancy highlights how climate politics plays out differently in resource-dependent states.

Mexico's roads, bridges, drainage and power systems are facing growing strain from climate change, with more intense storms, floods and droughts exposing weaknesses in the country's infrastructure. Reporting highlights the need for greater investment in resilient construction and maintenance as extreme weather events become more frequent, raising questions about how prepared Mexican cities and transport networks are for the changes ahead.

New commentary from researchers notes a paradox among eucalypts, Australia's iconic trees: while some species are famously hard to kill, resprouting after fire and drought, others may struggle to survive as climate change brings hotter, drier conditions. Scientists are examining which gum tree species are most vulnerable to shifting rainfall and temperature patterns, raising questions about the future of Australian forests and woodlands.

A new study suggests climate change nearly tripled the size of recent wildfires in the Boundary Waters region of Minnesota, a protected wilderness area popular with canoeists and campers. Researchers attribute the larger burned area to hotter, drier conditions linked to a warming climate, prompting renewed concern about fire risk in the region.

Climate change is affecting the timing and vibrancy of fall foliage in Bloomington, Indiana, and the surrounding area, according to a report by the Indiana Daily Student.
