The federal government has announced a new National Energy Guarantee focused on electricity reliability, after deciding not to implement a clean energy target.
The amount of atmospheric energy available to thunderstorms will increase in response to climate change, putting the tropics and subtropics at risk of being lashed with more intense storms.
With TransCanada’s decision to cancel the Energy East pipeline project Canada’s energy policies are under attack.
New data from a NASA satellite show in unprecedented detail the flow of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Future satellites should even be able to detect the signatures of individual power stations.
Imagine a world ravaged by the fallout from nuclear weapons and the runaway effects of climate change. Congratulations, you’ve just imagined the Plutocene, but let’s hope it doesn’t become a reality.
It’s still possible to hit the more ambitious of the two Paris global warming goals, according to a new estimate of the global carbon budget. But it sure won’t be easy, and we need to start now.
The Montreal Protocol is finally closing the hole in the ozone layer.
In 2017 Australia’s winter had the highest average daytime temperatures on record. This extreme is 60 times more likely to occur under the influence of greenhouse gas emissions.
It would take a lifestyle upheaval to drop most Australians’ household emissions to a sustainable level. Even many of us who urge equitable action on climate change act as if this doesn’t apply to us.
Landfills produce huge amounts of methane. Many of the bigger operators capture it to turn into energy, but they’re wasting about 80% of what’s available. It’s time Australia stepped up.
Tonight on the ABC’s Catalyst, scientist Tim Flannery asks if seaweed can save the world. It’s a bold claim for algae, but seaweed could play a key role in keeping climate change in check.
A new analysis by ClimateWorks Australia says that the electricity sector needs to do far more to cut its carbon emissions than will be delivered by current policies.
It’s very easy to assume climate change causes droughts, but they are complex extreme events that result from a combination of drivers.
Set aside the politics. If by some miracle we turned off carbon emissions immediately, how would the climate respond?
Action on climate change is now increasingly in China’s hands, and the decisions the country’s leaders make in the next decade will have a profound global impact.
By capturing Arctic methane emissions, the gas industry could join the fight against climate change.
Solar radiation management might be able to reduce some of the risks of global warming while countries get their emissions under control.
To better understand and bring under control the new planetary flows that humanity has unleashed, we need to mobilize all the legal resources at your disposal.
Analysis of the phenomenon of “total circulation” – situations in which humanity produces a circulation of goods or persons that escapes its control.
