The “winners” evolved in the warm, subtropical regions. Those that evolved in cooler temperate ecosystems – the “losers” – risk becoming extinct.
Heatwaves have become longer, hotter and more frequent. This trend is accelerating from climate change.
The super fund for health workers plans to dump its shares in companies that mine fossil fuels. The super fund for university staff is a long way behind.
The study examined patterns of Twitter rage in hot and cold weather. Given anger spreads through online communities faster than any other emotions, the findings are important.
High temperatures, periods of increased relative humidity and more rainfall are likely to happen more in Nigeria’s coastal region under future global warming.
Despite clear air as a result of the pandemic reducing human activities, our emissions still soar.
All of Australia’s 71 wine regions will become warmer this century. That means big changes for the industry. Tasmania, for example, may become better known for shiraz than pinot noir.
Older records can tell us a lot about Australia’s pre-industrial climate, before the large-scale burning of fossil fuels tainted global temperature records.
Poverty and inequality affect the likelihood of your home overheating during heatwaves.
Massive study looked at more than half a million trees in 813 forests across the tropics.
The new values are a worrying outcome that no one wants, but one we must still grapple with.
The response to COVID-19 suggests how we can leverage entrepreneurial approaches to climate change.
Efficient technologies can save Indonesians not only billions of rupiah but also avoid the need to built 50 power plants by 2030.
The bestselling novel turned film exposes paradoxes of fixing a broken system with its own tools. As we collectively meditate on the world’s problems, why not imagine better worlds?
Talking about energy transitions could help overcome the impasse we seem to have reached on climate change.
Over the next 50 years, the arid zone – containing the areas of true desert – is projected to expand well into the Murray-Darling Basin and almost entirely envelope the Lake Eyre Basin.
The risks to nature from man-made global warming – and the imperative to act – are clear.
The wet and low-lying East Siberian Arctic is likely to be a major methane source in the coming decades.
The heatwave highlights the connectedness of our climate systems: from the monsoon tropics to the southernmost continent.
