Last update: 2 hours ago

Climate Forecast: The UN weather agency and the UK Met Office warn global temperatures are likely to stay near record levels for the next five years, with an 86% chance at least one year from 2026–2030 tops 2024’s record heat and a 75% chance the 2026–2030 average exceeds the 1.5°C threshold; the Arctic is expected to warm even faster. Arctic Wildlife: New research links declines in Alaska’s arcticola dunlin to problems at East Asia wintering grounds, pointing to habitat loss in coastal wetlands and calling for targeted conservation there. Alaska Policy: The Alaska Legislature approved the state’s first tax on e-cigarette products, adding a 25% retail tax and restricting sales to people 21 and older. North Slope Oil Review: A Trump administration proposal would streamline federal environmental reviews for new North Slope oil projects in the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska, drawing criticism over impacts to tundra, wetlands, and wildlife. Mining Update: Nova Minerals says it has mobilized for a fully funded 2026 Estelle program, including up to a 10,000-meter drill campaign and antimony sample work aimed at late-2026/early-2027 production. Local Enforcement: A Juneau-area commercial fisherman was sentenced to 10 years (with suspension) for repeat fish and shellfish violations, including falsifying fish tickets and selling clams without proper testing.
