Contrary to popular belief, new research shows the abrupt, often gale force wind changes known as “southerly busters” are becoming more frequent, but less severe, as the climate changes.
It has been particularly cold this week, with a record low temperature recorded in Tasmania. Such records are increasingly rare as average temperatures continue to rise.
In a world dominated by fast fashion, building a slower wardrobe is the key to living more sustainably, saving money and standing out among the crowd.
Increasing coral bleaching will be worst for the most biodiverse reefs along the equator, impacting the livelihoods and nutrition of the people who depend on them.
If Australia wants to maintain the world-heritage status of the Great Barrier Reef – indeed, if it wants to preserve the reef at all – we must act now to prevent more coral deaths.
Emotions help shape opinion on energy sources. Understanding this can allow us to design better zero-carbon policies.
H5N1 is the latest evidence that climate change is altering how viruses spread and evolve. It is essential that global public health officials take these dynamics into account.
By pledging no new fossil fuel licenses, the UK Labour party could aid a new international norm.
New research has revealed the scale of the carbon-storage potential of the seabeds around Canada, conservation efforts must take this new data into account.
Clive Hamilton, who is Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University, joined us to talk about what Australia can do to not only survive a hotter world.
A risk expert explains how to read the heat index and interpret extreme heat warnings, and how to stay safe.
Groundwater is the largest source of unfrozen freshwater on the planet. Even though it’s underground, climate change is heating this reservoir up.
Focusing on despair is unhelpful and may even prevent climate action. Insights from climate social scientists can help navigate the doom and gloom.
A record-breaking heatwave hit Delhi this week, hot on the heels of heat in Asia and Africa. Australians take note, we are not safe here. We need to prepare for heat to hit us just as hard.
The governance of solar radiation modification technologies is hampered by a lack of consensus on whether and how to explore such technologies. Only honest dialogue can hope to break this impasse.
A major report in the U.S. finds damning evidence of decades of deceit by American oil and gas companies. The situation in Canada is likely not much different.
Biodiversity efforts in B.C. lack co-ordination with real implications for conservation efforts. These are the way in which this must change.
Water is very heavy – and it can move. Until now, changes to water on land have actually offset much of the rising sea level from ice melt. How? Gravity
The Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline is a bad deal for Canadians, the federal government and our planet. The only question now is how best to mitigate the damage.
