Solar panels and electric cars come with their own environmental trade-offs like increased mining and extraction.
Climate change is causing the deep waters in parts of the St. Lawrence River to lose their oxygen, and it’s damaging the health of the ecosystem.
Our net zero story has been recognised with a journalism award from Covering Climate Now, a 460-strong media partnership focused on driving coverage of the climate crisis.
When it comes to climate change, Australians want their news reported a little differently.
Twenty-six fast-growing African cities may battle health challenges if air pollution is not addressed.
Extreme heat waves are putting lives in danger, with some of the hottest urban neighborhoods 10 degrees hotter or more than their wealthier neighbors. Often, these are communities of color.
Farmers are contending with huge spikes in fertilizer prices. The Biden administration is paying US companies to boost synthetic fertilizer production, but there are other, more sustainable options.
Lismore’s residents and businesses on the floodplain need to look at relocation, not rebuilding.
Exposure to hot and dry conditions can damage the DNA of nestling birds in their first few days of life – meaning they age earlier and produce less offspring.
Protecting green turtles is difficult because they perform some of the longest migrations known in the animal kingdom.
This technology, popular when automobiles first caught on, had a short resurgence in the 1970s.
