El Niño usually brings hot, dry weather to Australia. But the rains that have drenched eastern Australia are normal too.
For the proposed Great Koala National Park to actually help koalas, logging should stop and plantations should be added to the park.
New emissions projections bode well for Australia’s climate efforts – but our fossil fuel exports continue apace.
Carbon credits must be scrutinised – and none more so than credits for taking grazing animals off arid rangelands.
Using a ‘grid of grids’ network, New Zealand’s growing electric vehicle fleet could contribute to national energy resiliency, feeding electricity back into the system during peak demand.
To protect nearly a third of Australia by decade’s end will mean expanding our national parks, Indigenous Protected Areas and protection across private land.
The Australian Labor government’s expanded Capacity Investment Scheme gives us a better chance of hitting high renewable energy targets. It’s not without risk but well worth the rewards.
Carbon farming has its problems, but we shouldn’t write it off. After all, good projects can store carbon – and bring back habitat.
Daily global temperature records keep breaking. It’s a sign we’re on a rapidly warming planet.
Climate denial is passe. But why do so many of us know the climate crisis is upon us – and live like it isn’t?
Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

Nanoparticles can help address a dependency on platinum — a rare and expensive material — to generate clean power.
Controlling invasive sea urchins is expensive. Why not make it profitable by fishing for them and selling their roe as a delicacy?
Giant eddy currents in the sea spread heat. But if trapped in place, they can cause marine heatwaves deadly to sea life. And there’s a big one shaping up off Sydney right now.
If Alberta prepares to transition from oil and gas to solar energy, the workforce will need retraining. New research shows that this will cost less than expected.
