Hybrid vehicles are having a real moment in Australia and overseas. The problem is, they’re not as clean as we think.

The most comprehensive assessment yet of a powerful greenhouse gas shows which countries are driving the increase, and which ones are successfully cutting emissions.
How long will it take for electric vehicles to cut emissions and improve air in our cities? Longer than we think – because petrol and diesel make up almost all of the fleet.
These electric aircraft take off and land vertically so they don’t need runways. And they promise a quieter, more accessible and less polluting form of short-distance air travel than helicopters.
Mainstream economics has been complicit in the climate change crisis as it falsely treats climate change as a mere side-effect of production or a minor aberration.
Human health depends on having a liveable planet and this is inextricably linked to food systems.
A new way of measuring emissions may let the biggest polluters evade their responsibility to tackle climate change.
Any efforts to tackle methane emissions must first begin with measuring the intensity of those emissions.
Australia’s federal government has been hollowed out in recent decades. But states can – and still do – deliver. That’s why they are the main drivers of climate action.
Trains once carried most of our freight. Could a return to rail help us meet our emissions cutting goals?
Current greenhouse gas inventories in Canada only consider “managed” lands. This must change before we can truly understand the scale of Canada’s carbon emissions.
Every two years, we get an updated plan for the future of Australia’s main grid. Under the new plan, coal vanishes even faster.
Australia’s latest climate change statement shows we have little hope of reaching net zero emissions by 2050. There’s good news on the 2030 target, but then what?
Electric arc furnaces can use up to 100% scrap steel as its raw material, resulting in a significant reduction in emissions.
Society’s wealthiest are responsible for generating climate change – but who are these people, and why are their emissions so high?
A recent study found one billion people are likely to die prematurely by the end of the century from climate change. Here are seven energy policies that could save their lives.
New emissions projections bode well for Australia’s climate efforts – but our fossil fuel exports continue apace.
Climate denial is passe. But why do so many of us know the climate crisis is upon us – and live like it isn’t?
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C. Here’s how.
When Australia’s government and opposition argue over how to get to net zero emissions, nuclear power is the flashpoint. The argument against nuclear is stronger, but not for the obvious reason.
