Ice and frozen ground at the North and South Poles are affected by climate-change-induced warming, but the consequences of…
Climate change challenges some of the fundamental assumptions on which our cities have been built. Within a generation or two, a city like Sydney may become exposed to a climate that is more similar to…
New research indicates that although Arctic sea ice will melt away as the climate continues to warm, it may temporarily stabilise…
Reducing carbon emissions is necessary, but what about the carbon that has already been released into the atmosphere? Many countries are turning to “biosequestration” for the answers: using nature - including…
Methane has been floating into the atmosphere at a slower rate over the last three decades but two new papers published in the journal Nature put forward very different theories as to why it’s happening…
Drought, drought and more drought is the forecast for the Australian climate unless significant steps are undertaken to reduce…
Under the Conservation Research Program (CRP), the United States government is encouraging landowners to be convert land…
After a 10,000-year absence, wildfires have returned to the Arctic tundra, and new findings raise concerns the fires could…
Most Australians believe that climate change is real and want to learn more about it, but the debate in the media and on the internet makes it difficult for lay people to know who and what to believe…
Looking back over recent years, it is possible to trace a shifting focus of scientific and political attention in the debate on climate change. First, we identified human-induced forcing of climate change…
Native vegetation must be restored to protect Australia’s unique ecosystems from the impacts of climate change. A review…
Some plants may use less water under global warming, says a major study published in the journal Nature. Higher levels of…
In mid-July, as Prime Minister Gillard began to stump the countryside selling her carbon package, a conference at the University of Melbourne considered the prospect of climate policy failure. Climate…
According to satellite derived sea surface and air tempartures the Red Sea is going through an intense warming initiated…
Antibiotics cure many diseases, but also lead to resistant bacteria. The rise of computers, far from inaugurating the paperless office, increased office paper use. The unintended consequences of our actions…
Something does not add up. About two weeks ago, a scientist working for the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Enforcement and Regulation (BOEMRE), Dr Charles Monnett, was placed on administrative leave…
The Antarctic ice sheet is less stable than previously thought, and Greenland is comparatively safer, according to research…
Ocean acidification is often referred to as the “evil twin” of climate change. Greenhouse gasses are doing more than just warming the globe. Increasing C0₂ levels are also changing the chemical make-up…
Wildfires have returned to the Arctic tundra after a 10,000-year absence. Researchers have quantified the amount of soil-bound…
