Some graphic novels can spur teens’ engagement with social justice issues.
Future extremes from the Indian Ocean will be acting on top of global warming, giving a double whammy effect, like the record-breaking heat and drought we saw in 2019.
Insect populations are falling as what they eat becomes more like iceberg lettuce and less like kale.
A new study finds 70% of Amazonian dung beetles were killed by the severe fire and droughts of 2015 to 2016. By spreading seeds and poop, dung beetles fertilize forests and aid regrowth of vegetation.
The internet has allowed pseudoscience to flourish. Artificial intelligence could help steer people away from the bad information.
Declaring an issue is a national emergency lets presidents act quickly and with few constraints. But once they get this kind of power, it’s hard to take it back – and it can produce bad policies.
The drought has pushed many trees to the brink, and whole stands are now dying. The ecological consequences are huge.
Scientists behind a major new study explain how they discovered these forests are becoming less able to sequester carbon.
The homes of the future will be zero-carbon and energy efficient. We asked experts to give us the tour.
Keith Pitt on the Murray-Darling Basin, the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility, and Nuclear Power in Australia
Keith Pitt, minister for resources, water, and Northern Australia, discusses the NAIF, climate policy, nuclear energy, and the Murray-Darling Basin scheme with Michelle Grattan.
Carbon capture and storage has failed to put a dent in global emissions, and the world is running out of time.
Climate change has advanced the arrival of spring by as much as several weeks in some parts of the US. This can mean major crop losses and disconnects between species that need each other to thrive.
Kenya can save its roan population if it re-stocks from other countries, eliminates poaching and improves their habitat.

When offspring become more “costly” to make, mothers make fewer of them. And these offspring start life with fewer energy reserves.
Sandy beaches are densely populated and occupy more than one third of the global coastline.
Jeff Bezos $10 billion pledge is great, but is no match for a properly democratic transition.
Insects are essential to the functioning of land and freshwater ecosystems but species populations are being lost at a rapid rate globally.
