Шаблон:Dts	Observation, Assessment	The most comprehensive study of pharmaceutical pollution of the world's rivers finds that it threatens "environmental and/or human health in more than a quarter of the studied locations".	[water pollution]	Файл:PPCPentry.gif
Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Projections	NASA publishes its latest Sea Level Rise Technical Report, an update of the 2017 edition, which includes projections for sea-level rise through to the year 2150. The agency warns that sea levels may rise as much over the next 30 years as during the previous 100.

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis	A study models the system of coupled feedback processes (including potential mitigation tipping points) that may shape the trajectory of global greenhouse gas emissions over the century in the contemporary socioeconomic system if it both persists as is and its components remain largely unreformed. Broad factor-domains include public perceptions of climate change, future mitigation technologies' characteristics, and the responsiveness of political institutions.

Шаблон:Dts	DevelopmentШаблон:Relevance inline	Bionanotechnologists report the development of a viable biosensor, Шаблон:Tooltip, that can detect levels of diverse water pollutants.	[water pollution]	Файл:Water system.pdf
Шаблон:Dts	DevelopmentШаблон:Relevance inline	Researchers report the development of a quantum gradiometer – an atom interferometer quantum sensor – which could be used to Шаблон:Tooltip and investigate subterraneans.	[sensing]	Файл:Applications of gravity cartography quantum sensing.webp
Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Review, Projections	UN researchers publish a comprehensive study about climate change impacted wildfires with projections (e.g. a 31–57% increase of extreme wildfires by 2100) and information about impacts and countermeasures.	[wildfires]	Файл:The Rim Fire in the Stanislaus National Forest near in California began on Aug. 17, 2013-0004.jpg
Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Assessment	A study shows annual carbon emissions (or carbon loss) from tropical deforestation have doubled during the last two decades and continue to increase.	[deforestation] [climate change]	Файл:ISS029-E-008032 Fires along the Rio Xingu - Brazil.jpg
Шаблон:Dts	Review	The IPCC releases the second part of its Sixth Assessment Report on climate change. It shows that any further delay in concerted global action would mean missing the rapidly closing window to secure human wellbeing and the planet's health against cascading impacts.

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Observation	Atmospheric scientists report that the 2022 volcano eruption in Tonga, Pacific Ocean – the largest recorded volcanic eruption since 1991 which reportedly cooled global climate by ~0.6 °C during 15 months – did not have a cooling effect (volcanic winter) of significance to global climate change (i.e. a cooling of ~0.004 °C during the first year).

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Observation	Researchers report that more than three-quarters of the Amazon rainforest has been losing resilience due to deforestation and climate change since the early 2000s as measured by recovery-time from short-term perturbations ("critical slowing down" (CSD)), reinforcing the theory that it is approaching a critical transition. On March 11, INPE reports satellite data that show record-high levels of Amazon deforestation in Brazil for a February (199 km²).

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Observation	A study suggests that half of the US population has been exposed to substantially detrimental lead levels in early childhood – mainly from car exhaust whose lead pollution peaked in the 1970s.Шаблон:Globalize inline	[toxins] [transport]	Файл:Symptoms of lead poisoning (raster).png
Шаблон:Dts	Analysis	Researchers report that, on average, Шаблон:Tooltip played "a leading role in driving up GHG emissions in the past decade and are on the way to becoming the largest contributor" due to factors such as demographic transition, Шаблон:Tooltip and high expenditures on carbon-intensive products like energy which is used i.a. for heating rooms and private transport.

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Assessment, Proposal	A study estimates that "relocating current croplands to [environmentally] optimal locations, whilst allowing ecosystems in then-abandoned areas to regenerate, could simultaneously decrease the current carbon, biodiversity, and irrigation water footprint of global crop production by 71%, 87%, and 100%", with relocation only within national borders also having substantial potential.

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis, Observation	Researchers report that over 80% of the growth of methane emissions during 2010–2019 was caused by tropical terrestrial emissions.	[methane emissions]	Файл:ISS029-E-008032 Fires along the Rio Xingu - Brazil.jpg
Шаблон:Dts	Observation, Analysis	Before formal publication of the 'Global Carbon Budget 2021' preprint, scientists report, based on Carbon Monitor data, that after COVID-19-pandemic-caused record-level declines in 2020, global Шаблон:CO2 emissions rebounded sharply by 4.8% in 2021, indicating that at the current trajectory, the 1.5 °C carbon budget would be used up within 9.5 years with a ⅔ likelihood.	[climate change]	Файл:1800- Global carbon dioxide emissions, per person.svg
Шаблон:Dts	Review	Scientists review the biophysical mechanisms by which forests influence climate, showing that beyond 50°N large scale deforestation leads to a net global cooling, that tropical [[Deforestation and climate change|deforestation leads to Шаблон:Tooltip warming]] Шаблон:Tooltip, and that as well as how standing tropical forests help cool the average global temperature by more than 1 °C.

Шаблон:Dts	Analysis	Depletion of ozone in the stratosphere and, more importantly (60%), ozone increase in the troposphere is shown to be responsible for ~30% of upper Southern Ocean interior warming between 1955 and 2000.	[ozone]	Файл:IM ozavg ept 200006.png
