An alarming new study by Pan & Cheng shows that 2025 set yet another record for global ocean heat content, with the upper 2000 meters of the ocean storing more energy than ever observed. In this Climate Emergency Forum episode, our guests unpack what “record‑breaking ocean heat” really means for the climate system, extreme weather, and long‑term sea level rise. We look beyond short‑term sea‑surface temperature fluctuations to focus on the deep, accumulating heat that drives the climate crisis for centuries to come.
The United Nations Headquarters observance on the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust took place on January 27, 2026 under the theme “Holocaust Remembrance for Dignity and Human Rights”. Ms. Melissa Fleming, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications hosted the proceedings. The observance featured Holocaust survivors sharing their testimonies, and official remarks by the Secretary-General, the President of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly and Representatives of the Permanent Missions of Israel and the United States to the United Nations.
Can the MMR vaccine cause autism? Dr. Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children’s Hospital, explains why the answer is no. The original study linking the MMR vaccine to autism has been retracted, and multiple large studies involving millions of children have confirmed there is no scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism. Learn the facts about vaccine safety and why protecting children with vaccines is so important.
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025 marks the tenth annual stocktaking of global progress toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. With the 2030 deadline only five years away, the report delivers a stark assessment: the Sustainable Development Goals have improved millions of lives, but the current pace of change is insufficient to fully achieve all the Goals by 2030.
World Food Day 2025 is calling for global collaboration in creating a sustainable, prosperous, and a food-secure future. By working together, across governments, organizations, sectors, and communities, we can transform agrifood systems to ensure that everyone has access to a healthy diet, living in harmony with the planet. Learn more from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization.
More than 85 climate scientists slammed the Energy Department’s report on the impacts of greenhouse gases in the U.S., calling it “not scientifically credible.” CBS News national environmental correspondent David Schechter has the details. CBS News 24/7 is the premier anchored streaming news service from CBS News and Stations that is available free to everyone with access to the internet and is the destination for breaking news, live events, original reporting and storytelling, and programs from CBS News and Stations’ top anchors and correspondents working locally, nationally and around the globe.

Climate scientists warn of climate disaster. But economists? Many say the economic hit from global warming will be negligible. But a new study shows the cost could be way worse than we once thought. In this episode, we reveal exactly how much poorer we will be in 2100, break down why previous models got it wrong, what this study means for our future, and the “goldilocks” path to decarbonization. PBS reports on a new study by Timothy Neal.
Practical steps you can take in your daily life to reduce your plastic footprint – refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink! Watch the video to learn more about global efforts underway, including the progress towards a global treaty to end plastic pollution.
As weather systems spin out of control across the globe, we take a closer look at how the United States is tackling the “too much” and “too little” of water. The Quinault, a Native tribal community in Washington State, is forced to relocate their coastal village to higher ground as high tides threaten to wash away the land they’ve inhabited for thousands of years. Meanwhile 1,500 miles away in Phoenix, Arizona, a historic megadrought and punishing heatwave are driving officials and the community at large to find new solutions for conserving their dwindling Colorado River supply.
Global climate predictions show temperatures are expected to continue at or near record levels in the next five years, increasing climate risks and impacts on societies, economies and sustainable development, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
