Fossil fuel emissions are slowing, but another major climate problem is becoming clear: food production.

In an attempt to better understand hurricanes, researchers recreate hundreds of years of hurricane records with Spanish shipwreck logs and tree ring data.
It seems like a ‘no brainer’ to use urban greening to help cities adapt to increasing heat, but the uptake of green infrastructure, such as trees and vegetated roofs, surfaces and walls, is slow. Why?
Methane is a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and Australia’s coal mines are a major source.
Climate change means the number of overweight and obese people will fall by 2050, but these benefits will be massively outdone by a rise in underweight and malnourished people.
Record-breaking years have been almost impossible without human-caused climate change.
Ice cores tell us vital information about how the world’s climate has changed - and how it will change in the future.
Marine scientists have been accused of being biased towards ‘doom and gloom’. But it’s not bias if the outlook for coral reefs really is gloomy.
The U.S. energy system is gradually transitioning away from fossil fuels and toward renewables. Will the next president speed up America’s shift to renewable energy or step on the brakes?
We need to spend more time investigating nature’s ‘ordinary Joe’s’.
There’s enough water under the ground to form a lake 100m deep over the earth.
Poorer cities are spending less on dealing with the consequences of global warming, even relative to their wealth.
The Paris agreement has given us some solid targets to aim for in terms of limiting global warming. But that in turn begs a whole range of new scientific questions.
Farms on Sydney’s fringes supply 20% of the city’s food. That could drop by more than half if urban sprawl isn’t kept in check.
Global warming is often seen as a problem for future generations, but focusing on the immediate – and substantial – health benefits of clean energy can change public perception of climate change.
Ocean acidification will hurt some parts of the Great Barrier Reef more than others.
Yes, we blunt the effects of climate change by getting off fossil fuels. But countries’ most ambitious targets imply use of climate engineering schemes – and that discussion should be done in public.
CSIRO was instrumental in creating a unified plan for all of Australia’s climate research. The latest round of cuts would see that collaboration fall apart.
European invasion completely disrupted the way aboriginal Australians managed fire. Learning from Australia’s first people could help us fight fires in the future.
Cyclone Winston produced wind speeds of around 300 km per hour, making it one of the strongest storms to make landfall.
