As governments and corporations pledge to help the planet by planting trillions of trees, a new study spotlights an effective, low-cost alternative: letting tropical forests regrow naturally.
Climate change threatens the crucial storage of carbon in Aussie forests. Victoria’s national parks alone store almost 1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
Criminalising ecocide means its victims will be able to receive reparations, helping to rebuild destroyed ecosystems and communities.
Critics say investing in carbon capture and storage means betting on technology that’s not yet proven to work at scale. Using liquid marbles could make a huge difference.
If we want to limit global warming to below 2°C, most of our untapped fossil fuel reserves need to be kept in the ground.
The State Water Project cut its initial allocations for water agencies to 0% for 2022. A California water expert explains why.
China has a tendency to underpromise so it can overdeliver.
The average amount of meat a person ate each year worldwide increased from 29.5kg in 2000 to 34kg in 2019. But there are some surprising differences between nations, including Australia and NZ.
Global floods in 2021 showed the danger of poor emergency preparedness - and the importance of planning ahead.
Climatologists study data over a long time to understand weather patterns and what causes them. Biometeorologists explore the impact that the weather and climate have on people, plants and animals.
Management in the forestry and land use sector could reduce 60% of the entire nation’s carbon emissions.

The global community must understand the importance of soil in order to protect it.
Until train use recovers, a new approach to rail funding is needed.
Labor’s 2030 emission reduction target of 43% is more ambitious than the Coalition, but still falls well below what the science says is needed.
Workers, not objects, make up most of the capital at risk from climate change.
The sheer scale of emissions from the expansion, and projects linked, to it will make achieving 2030 emission targets much harder for Western Australia and by extension, Australia and the world.
Open access to COVID-19 research accelerated the development of solutions. The urgency of climate change demands the same approach, but more than half of Australian research is still behind paywalls.
The Australian Labor Party has options on emissions reduction targets, but it is still running scared from the best mechanism to achieve them.
The US has required motor fuels to contain 10% biofuels since 2005. As this program nears a key milestone in 2022, farm advocates want to expand it while critics want to pare it back or repeal it.
