Nov 8, 2026 Storms are becoming stronger, more frequent and increasingly destructive. Scientists warn that climate change is transforming weather systems across the planet, creating new risks for cities, forests and entire coastlines. Wild Winds – Destructive Storms through Climate Change explores how rising sea levels, extreme weather and environmental instability are already changing life in Europe. In Lacanau near Bordeaux, residents are beginning to question whether they can continue living along the coast as storms intensify and the ocean moves closer year after year. But the danger does not stop at the shoreline. Across Europe’s forests and mountain regions, rising temperatures and violent storms are weakening natural ecosystems that have protected communities for centuries. Without healthy forests, villages become increasingly vulnerable to avalanches, landslides and rockfalls. In Switzerland, researchers are carrying out a groundbreaking experiment to identify the forests of the future — searching for tree species capable of surviving a rapidly changing climate. Combining science, environmental research and powerful real-world stories, this documentary reveals the growing impact of climate change and the urgent search for solutions.
Nov 5, 2026 The World, the Universe and Us
COP31 is about to take place against the backdrop of a year of accelerating climate disasters, plus a record breaking October and confirmation that we’ve exceeded the Paris climate agreement. This year's UN climate meeting isn’t planned to be a big one, but will be essential in ironing out a lot of the unresolved agreements made at last year’s meeting in Brazil. But as people continue to question the value of the COP process, can these summits move the needle or do they need major reform? To discuss what we can expect and whether COP is still effective, Rowan Hooper is joined by environment reporter Madeleine Cuff and Mark Maslin, professor of Earth System Science at University College London.
Oct 1, 2026 Multi-million dollar mansions perched along California's fragile ocean bluffs are sliding into the Pacific, exposing an unprecedented legal and geological battle. This documentary investigates the rapid cliff erosion threatening ultra-luxury real estate in Southern California, where state regulators enforce strict coastal preservation policies that leave private homeowners entirely unprotected.
Viewers will discover how active geological forces and rising ocean swells destabilize marine terraces along the coastline. The investigation examines the mechanics of coastal erosion, the regulatory framework of the California Coastal Commission, and the doctrine of managed retreat that forbids private shoreline armoring to protect public beaches. Additionally, the breakdown covers how major insurance carriers and municipal agencies are formally cutting off aid to cliff-edge estates, leaving multi-million-dollar deeds effectively stranded on dissolving ground.

In late September 2026, a nor'easter parked off the New Jersey coast for four days and caused 10 consecutive high-tide floods at Atlantic City and Cape May. That is the longest event of its kind on record. Most oceanfront houses are still standing. The real damage is in the sand.
Behind every eroded beach on this coast stands a row of oceanfront homes. The sand is the only thing between them and the Atlantic.

Miami's $560M Porsche Tower Is Sinking Into the Ocean — And Nobody Can Stop It
September 2, 2026 Watch live as UN World Meteorological Organization officials hold a news conference on the current El Nino, a natural warming of the Pacific that’s forecast to be the biggest on record in coming months.
August 26,2026 #climatechange #globalwarming #extremeweather Picture the world 100 or 200 years from now. What are you imagining? Hotter temperatures, melting glaciers or alpine places without snow? With heatwaves happening across Europe this summer, it's not that hard to visualise. Now picture Europe in a deep freeze where temperatures hit -20°C in London. Both of these scenarios might be the future we're heading for, thanks to climate change. And there's an even more worrying indicator: while almost the entire planet has been warming, there's one patch in the North Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland where temperatures have been falling. Scientists call it the "cold blob", and some think it could be a warning that one of Earth's most important climate systems is beginning to change and may soon hit a tipping point where climate change no longer happens gradually. If this system flips, it could have devastating consequences that change all of our lives as we know them.

In the fight against climate change, the world has made immense progress on renewable power - with wind and solar growing faster than ever. And finally carbon dioxide emissions are flatlining. But if we've made so much progress, why is CO2 building up in our atmosphere faster than ever before? And what can we do to finally protect our climate and ourselves?
8-20-26 https://www.climate.us/ The former administrators of the "Climate.gov" website have preserved the data from their site that was shut down by the Trump administration and migrated most of the data on the what is now the www.climate.us" site. It is worth referencing the information posted on the site when you need facts to lead a climate discussion. A VALUABLE RESOURCE!
Aug 9, 2026 Michael Mann is a Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Our Fragile Moment. He's also one of the most renowned climatologists in the world - and that's why I was over the moon when he agreed to have a chat with me...
Given the extremely grim daily news on climate change, I ask Prof. Mann whether the fight for a habitable planet is over, how bad he thinks the upcoming El Nino will be, and finally, what kind of consequences do Trump's insane, climate denial policies have for the world's decarbonisation plans.
Jul 19, 2026 Every autumn, on the highest tides of the year, seawater rises into the streets of Miami under a cloudless sky — no storm, no rain, just the ocean welling up out of the drains and the ground. But the flooding you can see isn't the real story. The real story is why Miami, alone among America's great coastal cities, cannot be walled off from the sea: it sits on porous limestone so riddled with holes that geologists compare it to Swiss cheese, and the rising ocean moves straight through it, under any seawall, up from below. With a metropolitan area of six million people, hundreds of billions of dollars in real estate stacked barely four feet above the water, and a drinking-water aquifer the sea is already pushing into, Miami may become the first major American city rendered unlivable by rising water. This documentary tells the story of the science, the engineers racing to hold the water back, and why the cranes are still going up on ground everyone can see is going under.
The Watchroom explores the science, the power, and the human stories behind nature's most intense moments. Each documentary tells the complete story of a single historic disaster — how it formed, the moment it struck, and the people who lived through it.
Nov 21, 2025 James E. Hansen is an American climate scientist and former director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. In 2006, Hansen was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people. Now Hansen works as Director of Climate Science in Columbia University. In his keynote at ATLAS25 James Hansen is warning the audience of the dangerous feedback loops of Earth Systems Tipping Points (ESTP). Hansen's research and statements have been a controversial talking point among the scientific community, the media, and even some of the IPCC lead authors. Hanssen's message is clear – We're running out of time.
ATLAS25 was organised to bridge scientific understanding of Earth System Tipping Points (ESTP) with strategic policy-making including approaches to climate intervention research. The aim was to elevate Nordic leadership and cooperation in ESTP risk management as an issue of comprehensive security. While this was an ambitious undertaking, we made important progress. The conference drew 143 participants, with 215 attending the Think Corner session and hundreds viewing the livestream. The recording of this session has already sparked a lot of discussion. Media coverage on ATLAS25, our speakers and messages has had a reach of millions of people through major news outlets like Helsingin Sanomat, Yle news, MTV news, Hufvudstadsbladet, and New story, bringing critical understanding of Earth System Tipping Points to wider public attention. Engaging policymakers more widely in addressing ESTPs requires continuous efforts, although the widespread media coverage has sparked discourse among many policymakers.
