PARIS (FRANCE) - Planetary heating is intensifying and key climate indicators are deteriorating, top scientists have said, warning that funding decisions affecting Earth observation systems in the United States and other countries threaten efforts to track global warming.
More than 70 scientists -- including contributors to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- raised the alarm over record human-induced warming and surging marine heatwaves in an annual study published between major IPCC assessments.
