A new assessment found substantial warming is much more solidly assured than we thought.
New study shows low levels of future global warming are far less likely than previously thought. Very high warming is also slightly less likely.
Working from home has become the new norm for many during the pandemic. But it’s an opportunity that divides along racial and economic lines – and isn’t as beneficial to the environment as many believe.
Tropical cyclones account for almost four in five natural disasters across Pacific Island nations. But a new forecasting tool now gives up to four months warning for the upcoming cyclone season.
As talk of recovery begins, it’s time to rethink the role of artificial intelligence in society.
Pesticides and high temperatures can disrupt the development of small coral reef fish by targeting their hormones.
Unlike hurricanes, tornadoes and other weather phenomena, heat is a silent killer. The COVID-19 pandemic could make that worse.
To avoid global warming on a catastrophic scale, nations need to reduce emissions and find ways to pull carbon from the air. One promising solution: spreading rock dust on farm fields.
How to ensure your savings, as well as your everyday consumption, are sustainable.
They’re more used to taking visitors to the reefs, but COVID-19 gave tour operators time to help check the condition of the corals. What they found doesn’t bode well.
In Australia, methane emissions from fossil fuels are rising due to expansion of the natural gas industry, whereas agriculture emissions are falling.
Having a carbon price is linked to lower emissions growth. A larger price cuts emissions by more.
As fewer chicks survive, the eerie call of the loon could become more elusive in Ontario.
The “winners” evolved in the warm, subtropical regions. Those that evolved in cooler temperate ecosystems – the “losers” – risk becoming extinct.
Eco-fiction to help you rethink your role in the climate crisis.
New research on marmots in the US reveals how the topsy-turvy seasons are causing havoc among wildlife.
As climate change warms northern rivers and changes precipitation patterns, some types of cold-loving fish are failing.
Energy companies are marketing a new fuel: ‘renewable’ natural gas. But it’s not the same from a climate change perspective as wind or solar energy.
As the planet continues to warm, extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall are becoming more frequent, intense and longer, according to global weather data.
