La Niña is only part of the problem. The long-term driver of increasing drought – even in areas getting more rainfall overall – is the rapidly warming climate.
A 50-year experiment shows warmer, ‘thirstier’ air may have cut the lifespan of Queensland’s tropical trees in half since the 1980s.
Understanding how our ancestors may have benefited from industrialisation and colonialism could help us become more climate-friendly citizens.
We asked six experts to nominate books that might help us avert environmental catastrophe. Here’s what they said.
Climate change is affecting hydropower in different ways across the country.
Our research shows NZ’s potential to burn forestry waste and capture the emissions in geothermal wells. But we’ll need new partnerships between power generators, manufacturers and the forestry sector.
More carbon dioxide in the air doesn’t necessarily mean more growth for trees, and the increasing risk of wildfires and drought has major consequences, as an interactive map shows.
Rising populations and a warming climate mean storm surges from super cyclones are likely to affect increasing numbers of vulnerable people.
Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time – so what have the Coalition and the Labor party actually promised? Five experts grade different aspects of their climate policies.
ToxChips study the changes in the DNA of animals exposed to contaminants, like those found in oil spills.
Extracting and storing human body heat we generate could improve building sustainability while cutting bills.
The largest category of power plants applying to connect to the US grid are now solar, and over a third of those are hybrids that include battery storage.
The IPCC’s latest climate report discusses how colonialism has shaped climate, a breakthrough for the climate justice movement.
Climate change is modifying the timing of recurrent life-cycle events with critical consequences on ecological and economic levels.
Melting lakes on ice shelves can widen cracks within them - new research shows how these lakes change across the world’s largest sheet.
The Arctic Council was the world’s primary forum for cooperation among the eight Arctic nations and a channel for diplomacy – until Russia launched a war.
Ground is collapsing and massive lakes are draining in a matter of days. Thawing permafrost is having profound effects on the region and its infrastructure.
Using our oceans as carbon sinks could help achieve climate goals set in the most recent IPCC report.
Emission of greenhouse gases is on the rise, an indication that the worst lies ahead.
