Children will be responsible for the future protection of our fragile planet. Their knowledge and engagement are critical.
Marine heatwaves have had little attention until recently, but they’re already having large effects.
Global warming will be most noticeable where the weather doesn’t normally vary much, such as the tropics. But these places are also home to many of the world’s poorest and least culpable nations.
Climate change is transforming the Arctic, with impacts on the rest of the planet. A geographer explains why he once doubted that human actions were causing such shifts, and what changed his mind.
The 2016 bleaching event resulted in 30% mortality on the Great Barrier Reef, with many corals dying of the heat before they bleached and the loss of branching corals creating less complex reef structure.
Will the renewable energy transition end up creating yet more greenhouse emissions, as we ramp up the manufacture of wind turbines and solar cells? Not if their manufacture is itself powered by renewables.
The climate crisis is a complex scientific problem. New systems have to be developed through democratic systemic reforms.
Coral bleaching has struck the Northern Territory, adding urgency to the need for better national management strategies for our warming oceans.
The tale of the snow crab bears witness to the how the complexities of climate change and fights over fishing rights play out.
A heritage landscape researcher used the work of a Victorian aerial photographer to map a century of glacial loss in the Alps – and the results are staggering.
But it’s too early to tell whether climate change is to blame.
In the future, Europe will suffer from more heat waves as well as extreme rainfall, presenting new challenges for planners and health care services. Building resilient cities can help.
Many Puerto Ricans are happy to see their broke power utility sold off to whoever can get the lights turned back on. But privatizing the island’s energy grid may bring more problems than relief.
With the US announcement that it would withdrawl from the Paris Accord, several American states are mobilizing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
A survey of recent global trends in temperature and rainfall – and a lesson for Mr Trump on the difference between weather and climate.
An atmospheric scientist who studies the Arctic explains why – because of global warming – the U.S. may be in for longer cold spells in the winter.
It looks as if climate change is forcing 24,000 people to leave the Mekong Delta every year.
The race may be on to send humans to live on Mars, but is it worth the effort – and the spend – when we have our own problems to deal with on Earth.
The extra energy used to mine and transfer Bitcoins may simply be a price the currency has to pay for being secure and anonymous.
