Science Today: Sinking Cities, Nobel Prizes, and a Record El Niño
What it means
Satellite data show 465 cities sinking, with Mexico City zones at 216.5 mm yearly. The WMO forecasts near-100 per cent odds El Niño persists through February 2027. Nobel science prizes again include no women.
Why it matters
The IPCC's Working Group III co-chair received money from an oil companies' fund, while researchers at Queen Mary University of London war-gamed solar radiation modification governance. Canada's Species at Risk Act leaves 153 of 288 cases overdue.
How it affects you
Unusually hot, dry conditions persisted into September, with Western Europe 2.5 degrees warmer than normal. Timekeepers vote on ending leap seconds, which would stop one-second clock adjustments.
