Richer countries import products but not the emissions used to make them.
Conspiracy theorists have an à la carte attitude to data and trust, so what can scientists do about it?
Australia faces many security issues driven by climate change, including more international migration and an increase in defence personnel being sent on disaster relief missions, a Senate inquiry has found.
No amount of post-consumer recycling can recoup the waste generated before consumers purchase their devices.
The council has considered terrorism, nuclear weapons and international crime. But it has largely ignored the climate.
The risk of urban flooding is rising. Overall, residents and municipalities are ill prepared, but there are steps homeowners can take to protect themselves.
I analysed 15 million words written by major oil companies and found their usage of ‘climate change’ peaked a decade ago.
Effective conservation of migratory songbirds requires an understanding of how populations are connected between seasons. The challenge is being able to track individuals throughout the entire year.
Deriving fuel from trees costs more than wind and solar power and it emits more carbon than coal. There are many heated debates about this kind of energy, known as forest or woody biomass.
To give the best chance for science to have an impact, we need to present our arguments to the public in the most convincing ways we have available. Applied psychology can help.
Calgary has already had two 100-year floods in less than a decade. But the city and the province have yet to take action to meaningfully lower the risk of future flood damages.

The Rose’s mountain toadlet adapts its breeding habits according to the weather.
It is misguided to blame armed conflict and violence on climate change alone.
