As if having asthma wasn’t bad enough news, your health condition is probably contributing to climate change.
World Water Day shines a light on the importance of safe, clean drinking water, but a new report finds Canada’s freshwater systems are under stress.
Despite scientists’ initial concerns, federal climate change data sets are still available. But other documents and web pages have changed over the last year.
A stomach-churning viral video of an Oregon woman who describes removing cattle eyeworms from her eye has renewed interest in parasites that jump from animals to humans. Here’s all you need to know.
Coral bleaching has struck the Northern Territory, adding urgency to the need for better national management strategies for our warming oceans.

The first IPCC conference on cities has highlighted the challenges of reconciling science, urban practices and politics. But it was an important recognition of cities’ leading role in climate action.
Canada has committed to cutting GHG emissions 30 per cent by 2030 from 2005 levels. Can Canada’s oil capital lead the charge? New research shows it’s within reach with bold actions on several fronts.
Nature based approaches to solving water problems originated in Europe and don’t take into account Africa’s huge infrastructure deficit.
Shale gas exploitation in the US has helped cut is greenhouse gas emissions by 11%. A study explores what would happen if this were expanded globally, and the findings challenge conventional wisdom.
Research suggests that speakers of “present-tensed” languages such as German and Finnish - in which the future can be describe in the present tense - are more likely to support stronger climate policies.
The creation of climate models with open source code, available for anyone to use, has improved scientific collaboration and helped research get more efficient.
But it’s too early to tell whether climate change is to blame.
Those on low incomes get less back from home improvement schemes than they pay in government charges.
Despite strong evidence that human activities have altered the climate, not everyone sees the risks. New research explains why some people seem blind to the signs of climate change.
