‘Climate scientists’ are often understood as being a block of experts with monolithic beliefs. A new survey sheds considerable nuance onto the beliefs and perceptions of climate scientists.

All of human civilisation emerged during unusually benign climate conditions. As temperature records fall and climate damage intensifies, we are beginning to see what happens when we leave it behind.
The board of directors should make sure a company fulfils its climate pledges – but some are more effective than others.
Pollution solutions start with public pressure, often in the face of industry pushback and slow-moving political responses.
Abating methane emissions and enhancing atmospheric removal offers an opportunity to rapidly mitigate warming.
The High Speed Rail Authority has publicly outlined plans that allow for some optimism that Australia could have these trains in the late 2030s.
There’s a risk that the belief that electric vehicles are much greener results in owners driving more often or faster, or using cars instead of public transport.
Human activities now account for two-thirds of all methane venting to the atmosphere – and our efforts to staunch the flow are not yet bearing fruit.
Emissions pathways act as a map of the future, showing us how to get from where we are to where we want to be.
Factories producing non-stick coatings for cookware aren’t properly limiting emissions of one of the most potent greenhouse gases, our research suggests.
The global average temperature could continue to hover around 1.5°C for several years.
A new report reveals Australia’s fossil fuel exports threaten the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C
A new report from the Climate Council identifies ways to cut methane greenhouse emissions, almost two years after Australia signed a global pledge to reduce them.
You’ve probably heard the arguments against electric cars, but most of them are getting weaker as the technology, markets and infrastructure mature.
Determining the global average temperature on any given day is complex. It involves thousands of observations, high-tech equipment and sophisticated computer models.
A large-scale study proves that trees absorb methane through their bark, with climate benefits at a global scale.
Decarbonising shipping is more urgent than ever. But is a carbon tax the best way to achieve this? Wouldn’t it increase inequalities without sufficiently reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
If the fossil fuel industry tackles the methane leaks it generates before 2030, this could reduce global warming by 0.2°C by 2100.
Regardless of where in the world the oil would be burnt, local authorities must consider the greenhouse gas emissions before granting the planning permission.
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.
