Science and climate news today paints a picture of both mounting risk and practical response. The UN’s weather agency says El Niño is already underway and likely to strengthen rapidly into a strong event by late summer, raising the odds of heatwaves, drought, heavy rain and marine heat stress around the world. That warning lands as Venezuela struggles through the aftermath of twin earthquakes, where communities are improvising relief in striking ways: a McDonald’s has become “Hospital McDonald’s,” a grassroots hub for aid, reunions and the search for missing pets, even as officials race to identify victims and thousands remain unaccounted for. Against that backdrop of disaster and adaptation, there is also a quieter marker of long-term transition: Tata Power’s new 100.8-megawatt wind farm in Maharashtra, built to feed greener electricity into Mumbai, reflects the steady push toward cleaner energy as climate pressures intensify.
