Scientists have been debating the start of the Anthropocene Epoch for 15 years. I was part of those discussions, and I agree with the vote rejecting it.
Subnational authorities are leading the charge on a just transition and dealing with climate change impacts. It is time for this key role to be reflected in international climate negotiations.
A new study shows how thawing permafrost and intensifying storms will change how water moves into and through Arctic rivers.
Australia’s approach to estimating bushfire emissions is credible and sophisticated. But it must be refined as technology improves and the climate changes.
Cold snaps can affect everyday services and infrastructure, putting lives at risk.
The winds passing over Kenya flow in waves and periodically bring hot weather, the kind that has prevailed recently across east Africa.
A UN meeting this week considered a motion on a suite of technologies known as ‘solar radiation modification’, but no consensus could be reached on the controversial topic.
Underground thermal networks have the potential to revolutionize how Canadians heat their homes while helping to reduce carbon emissions.
Recent research sheds light on the ocean’s annual ‘biological clock’ and highlights the key dynamics that make it susceptible to climate change.
The temptation to justify critical minerals mining at all costs is a dangerous fallacy. The social and environmental impacts of poorly mined critical minerals are dire.
The best strategy to protecting Earth’s coral reefs is to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. But in the meantime, we must urgently make corals more resilient.
Human societies produce huge amounts of excess heat. Turning it into electricity could play a key role in achieving a net-zero society.
Global warming is melting away an iconic cornerstone of Canadian culture — outdoor skating.
Large parts of Appalachia’s forests, once owned by coal companies, now make money for investors by storing carbon. But the results bring few jobs or sizable investments for residents.
Recent research shows how reducing overfishing is both an ecological imperative and a critical means to addressing climate change.
In the worst-case scenario currently being mapped, Earth’s temperature could increase by 4.3°C before 2100. Southern African rhinos will have no possibility of surviving this unless parks act now.
Canada’s cities must be planned around resident
health and well-being, our research reveals the key barriers to developing truly healthy cities.
Integrating local and Indigenous knowledge into conservation can help to support diverse diets without compromising biodiversity goals.
Scientists now have a better understanding of the risks ahead and a new early warning signal to watch for.
