The party will eventually have to look beyond economic growth.
But humans can counteract global warming impacts by creating more fire-resilient societies.
Dairy cows are sensitive to heat, so farmers cool them down with sprinklers and fans. Researchers are designing better, more efficient systems to keep cows comfortable through hot California summers.
Do high fuel economy requirements make the US auto fleet less safe? The Trump administration says yes and is moving to freeze these standards, but auto experts and US car makers disagree.
As climate extremes mount, let’s reflect on Victorian London’s ‘Great Stink’ sewage crisis - when things finally became so bad authorities were forced to accept evidence, reject sceptics, and act.
The Internet of Things is contributing to climate change. Innovation in computer design could help mitigate the problem.
Serious heat is a serious threat, and people must get better at talking about it.
Planting trees is a popular way for companies to clean up their image. Unfortunately, it may cause more problems than it solves.
The warming of the oceans means that the plants and organisms used as warning systems for pollution are being rendered ineffective.
Mosses are the only plants that can withstand life in East Antarctica’s frozen landscape. But a new study shows that life is getting even harder, as ozone loss and climate change make conditions even drier.
A too rapid transition to a low-carbon economy would threaten financial stability. A slow transition would run the risk of exceeding irreversible ecological thresholds.
The UK was part of the EU’s collective pledge of emissions cuts ahead of Paris.
As climate change alters temperature and precipitation patterns across the US, it is having especially severe impacts on national parks. These changes could happen faster than many plants and animals can adapt.
Donald Trump claims his administration has carried out an “all-out effort” in preparing for the effects of climate change. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The future climate that scientists predict for the middle of the United States is one that will foster more hail events with bigger hailstones.
AI can definitely help us monitor floods and could perhaps even deliver more accurate early-warning messages in the near future.
It’s quite hard to tell when a sea creature is extinct – there’s always hope it will turn up somewhere.
With consultation underway to improve the New Zealand emissions trading scheme, experts argue that a reserve price on emissions units could help rebuild confidence in low-emission investment.
