A recent study has pointed out an unexpected result of reduced shipping emissions—there has been a sudden and significant increase in global warming.

High ocean heat content and the anticipated development of La Niña are expected to fuel an above average hurricane season in the North Atlantic this year, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA).

On March 15th, California and Japan announced a new collaborative effort to clean up a critical link in the global supply chain by collaborating on strategies to reduce global warming pollution at seaports and establish green shipping corridors.

The most recent IPCC report on climate change takes a look on the near and long term risks that the continuous deterioration of the planet's climate could cause.

Many of the climate changes observed on Earth are unprecedented in thousands of years, and some of the changes already set in motion—such as continued sea level rise—are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years, according to the latest IPCC Report.

Ansuman Ghosh, Director of Risk Assessment, UK P&I Club, highlights the urgent need for shipping to reduce its emission levels and play its part in addressing this dire situation.

A recent Reuters analysis of new shipping and fuel-consumption data revealed that melting sea ice enables ships sailing into the Arctic, resulting to increasing amounts of climate-warming pollution.

The heat wave that has been affecting the Russian Arctic for months now reached a record in Verkhoyansk, Russia—north of the Arctic Circle—of 100.4°F on June 20, the official first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

Biodiversity in the deep ocean is significantly exposed to the adverse effects of climate change, even more than in the surface, according to a recent study published in Nature Climate Change journal.
