Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other world leaders are scheduled to attend the COP28 Summit, the yearly United Nations summit on climate change. The dates of the summit are November 30 to December 12. Delegates from almost 200 nations will be present at the summit, which is being hosted by conference host and OPEC member the UAE. They will be there to support the idea of a low-carbon future that embraces fossil fuels rather than rejects them.

A new study has found that extreme heat may have caused 70,000 excess deaths in Europe in 2022. The scientists at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) revised their earlier estimate of 61,000 after making changes to their framework for measuring heat-related mortality.

The ice shelves of Greenland have seen a disappearance of more than a third in their volume since 1978, stated the researchers. The disintegration of the ice shelves has been accelerated because of warm ocean waters which have melted them from beneath and increased their chances of collapsing.

Earth is on the cusp of exceeding an internationally agreed-upon point for global warming, according to researchers. According to the study published on Monday in Nature Climate Change journal, if greenhouse gases continue to increase at the current rate, Earth's temperature might surpass the ideal threshold, causing disastrous consequences in several regions worldwide.
