A new study provides a detailed way to calculate the climate impact of food production, which could lead to more sustainable farming policies and methods.
As the risk of fires rises in areas once considered too wet to burn, it creates hazards for mountain communities and for downstream water supplies.
A decade ago, solar power was a tiny sliver of the US energy supply. Today it’s expanding rapidly – and the Biden administration wants to make it much, much bigger.
Climate change is a hot-button issue in the upcoming federal election, and each party has a different plan to address the issue.
Roof slopes in traditional Chinese architecture reflect snowfall patterns over a millennium.
Out of the last six years in Madagascar, five years have had poor or very bad rainy seasons.
The world is moving away fossil fuels, and there’s nothing Australia can do about it. Racing to dig up and sell whatever fossil fuels we can before the timer stops is not a future-proof strategy.
Major research found Australia must keep 95% of coal in the ground to limit global warming. With a little political will, this would be easy to do.
It might be time to reschedule football season. With rising temperatures, poorer air quality and a worsening hurricane season, climate change threatens the future of the American sport.
Our new study reveals how tight the world’s remaining carbon budget is.
Last month’s dire report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change may have left you feeling overwhelmed. But small changes at the household level really can make a world of difference.
‘Shape shifting’ animals are evolving to deal with heat – by changing the size of their ears, tails, bills and other appendages.
Reusable containers may have to be reused many times to offset their negative environmental impacts - improving recycling infrastructure could be the answer.
Southern Québec is warming twice as rapidly as the rest of the world due to the progressive loss of snow cover. An average annual warming of 3 C to 6 C is expected by the end of the century.
Goby fish and coral rely on each other to survive. But new research found gobies are declining under climate change, dealing a double blow to Australia’s reefs.
Towering trees in African tropical mountain forests are a vital, overlooked carbon store threatened by deforestation.
Beetles exposed to elevated carbon dioxide emerged later and smaller and had a reduced chance of making it to adulthood.
Australia must start planning for the loss of entire regional communities, and internal climate refugees.
Hurricane Ida left the entire city of New Orleans in the dark and renewed discussion of burying power lines. But there’s no way to completely protect the grid, above ground or below.
