Serious air pollution is a common problem in stations around Australia and the world. But solutions already exist, and some can be applied immediately to protect station staff and commuters.
Conditions deteriorated in 2023 but were stlil relatively good for ecosystems and agriculture. Unfortunately, the alarming decline of threatened species continued.
While barriers still remain, the benefits of electrifying the transport sector are clear for both society and individual firms.
Cattle are major producers of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. But there are methods that can reduce their climate impact – if ranchers have incentive to use them.
Climate change is often seen as solely a technical problem. This is a misguided belief. Understanding how to build a better world begins, and ends, with understanding the societies which inhabit it.
Will it make a difference when companies have to track and report emissions and environmental impact? Only if policies with teeth follow.
Climate disclosure rules are meant to help investors understand their risks, but they come with costs for companies, as a finance scholar explains.
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.
A college junior who has gained a following by sharing high-profile people’s private flight information says that he is sharing public information. Others, like Taylor Swift, say that he is stalking.
Australia’s approach to estimating bushfire emissions is credible and sophisticated. But it must be refined as technology improves and the climate changes.
The winds passing over Kenya flow in waves and periodically bring hot weather, the kind that has prevailed recently across east Africa.
Human health depends on having a liveable planet and this is inextricably linked to food systems.
More efficient water use is one of the most cost-effective steps we can take to cut emissions.
Planting trees to remove carbon from the atmosphere will only be effective alongside other strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Australian vehicle emissions are even worse than official figures show and are likely to fall even further behind the rest of the world unless much more ambitious policies are adopted.
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.
There are two approaches to producing low-emission hydrogen, and public acceptance (or rejection) of each method will be important for hydrogen and its place in the energy transition.
Technological approaches could help reduce the carbon impact of artificial intelligence systems.
From making journeys more fuel-efficient to reducing food waste.
