El Niño officially arrives with warnings of supercharged extreme weather, while solar energy surpasses coal in the US and environmental concerns grow over border wall construction and habitat destruction.

A 'Super El Niño' climate pattern has officially formed in the Pacific Ocean, with meteorologists predicting it will be the strongest of the century and likely supercharge extreme weather events, push temperatures to record highs, and trigger more intense floods and heat waves, according to UN officials.

Solar energy supplied 12.8% of US electricity in May, marking the first time solar has generated more power than coal in the nation, even as the Trump administration actively promotes coal over clean energy alternatives.

The Trump administration is using legal waivers to expedite border wall construction through Big Bend National Park in Texas despite plunging border crossings, with environmental groups warning of 'massive destruction' to pristine wilderness areas.

Environmental groups are suing over a Trump administration land exchange with SpaceX in Texas, arguing the deal would worsen ecological risks and harm critical habitat in the region.

The US is increasingly shutting out climate refugees with little hope of establishing a new system to help those displaced by climate impacts, creating growing barriers for vulnerable populations fleeing climate-affected regions.

A Guardian analysis reveals that most of the 39 countries facing new US entry restrictions under Trump policies are among the most environmentally vulnerable and climate-affected nations globally.

Indonesian landslides fueled by climate-related storms devastated endangered orangutan populations, with researchers estimating that over 5% of the species was lost in a single climate event.

Scientists have developed new methods to measure Earth's vast underground fungal networks using machine learning and high-resolution imaging, revealing the extent of the planet's carbon circulatory system.

The National Science Foundation has cut funding for an AI weather forecasting institute that was developing better prediction models for extreme weather events, raising concerns about climate research capacity.
