Climate hypocrisy matters for governments – but not individuals.
HFCs keep refrigerators cool, but when these short-lived climate pollutants leak, they warm the planet.
Installing solar panels over California’s 4,000 miles of canals could generate less expensive, renewable energy, save water, fight climate change – and offer a solution for the thirsty American West.
Humanity can still limit global warming to 1.5°C this century. But political action will determine whether it actually does. Conflating the two questions amounts to dangerous, misplaced punditry.
These tiny organisms play a huge role in fighting climate change, but they’re under threat.
Scientists watched in real time as rising ocean heat transformed the sprawling reef. It was a harbinger for ecosystems everywhere as the planet warms.
Businesses have long been a big part of the climate problem. They shouldn’t scale back environmental initiatives when it all feels too hard.
Since the Roosevelt administration, it’s become standard to look for accomplishments in a presidency’s early months.
Two billion people already eat ‘prawns of the land’, so why don’t many Australians? A new CSIRO industry roadmap on edible insects explains why we should bring bugs into mainstream diets.

The Morrison government and South Australian government struck this landmark deal ahead of the Biden Summit last week. Let’s take a hard look at the good and bad bits.
Tracking species over their lifetimes can reveal their climate adaptation secrets.
