Scientists need to know how much we can rely on the land to offset our emissions.

A new study finds more deciduous trees like aspen are growing in after severe fires in the region, and that has some unexpected impacts.
Bill C-12 is a step in the right direction, but its not enough to meet Canada’s goal for a decarbonized economy.
Australia must treble its emissions reduction targets and reach net-zero emissions by 2035. Without this and other radical global action, the chance to hold warming to well below 2°C will pass us by.
Scientists are starting to use genetic information from bacteria to measure the health of vast areas of the ocean.
It’s meant to stop what’s known as ‘carbon leakage’ – when production moves elsewhere to avoid climate policies – but the solution has economic, legal and environmental consequences.
Earth’s floating solar power capacity has grown one-hundredfold in the last five years.
A new report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute says the federal government has overlooked the national security threats of climate change.
The federal government needs to address the relationship between climate-related realities and the country’s national security.
Climate change is likely to mean disasters such as Cyclone Seroja will become more intense, and be seen further south in Australia more often.
Electricity emissions can be cut to net-zero while keeping the lights on and prices down. But achieving that quickly means keeping gas around, for now.
It’s hard enough to attract and keep health workers in the Northern Territory as it is. Now climate change is threatening to make things worse.
In a new study, we found that a third of Antarctica’s ice shelves could collapse at 4°C of global warming.
Scientists are learning trees can emit methane, which could be a big problem for global warming. But a world-first discovery of methane-eating bacteria in paperbark can help moderate this.
Peatlands store more soil carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem, including tropical forests. But they have been heavily exploited and damaged. Now, scientists are working to restore them.
A stable ecosystem of organic matter is the key to improving agricultural yields in the surrounding farmland and fighting climate change.
Climate change has already made tropical oceans too hot for some marine species to survive. As they flee towards the poles, the implications for ecosystems and human livelihoods will be profound.
Unless mining is done differently, rushing to bring copper mines into production could unleash unacceptable, catastrophic impacts.
Climate change is strengthening the division between the ocean surface and the abyss.
Hearing about climate change prompts people to buy more stuff, which increases their environmental footprint. Rituals that inspire gratitude for nature can help reduce the desire to over-consume.
