Every two years, we get an updated plan for the future of Australia’s main grid. Under the new plan, coal vanishes even faster.
You may have seen contestants on reality shows like “Survivor” make fire using friction, but do you know the physics behind the process?
Yes, there was some progress at COP28. But the international community is not taking this enormous climate challenge as seriously as it should.
What happens underground doesn’t stay underground. If we overexploit groundwater and kill off its species, we put surface species – including us – at risk.
This year, China has built renewables at a truly staggering pace. But can its tech-first approach actually cut emissions – and find common ground at COP28?
Banning public funding for overseas fossil fuel projects will boost Australia’s climate leadership. But can it take the next step and do it domestically?
South Africa’s plan to transition to green energy may eventually benefit big private companies more than ordinary citizens.
El Niño usually brings hot, dry weather to Australia. But the rains that have drenched eastern Australia are normal too.
For the proposed Great Koala National Park to actually help koalas, logging should stop and plantations should be added to the park.
New emissions projections bode well for Australia’s climate efforts – but our fossil fuel exports continue apace.
Carbon credits must be scrutinised – and none more so than credits for taking grazing animals off arid rangelands.
Using a ‘grid of grids’ network, New Zealand’s growing electric vehicle fleet could contribute to national energy resiliency, feeding electricity back into the system during peak demand.
To protect nearly a third of Australia by decade’s end will mean expanding our national parks, Indigenous Protected Areas and protection across private land.
The Australian Labor government’s expanded Capacity Investment Scheme gives us a better chance of hitting high renewable energy targets. It’s not without risk but well worth the rewards.
Carbon farming has its problems, but we shouldn’t write it off. After all, good projects can store carbon – and bring back habitat.
Daily global temperature records keep breaking. It’s a sign we’re on a rapidly warming planet.
Climate denial is passe. But why do so many of us know the climate crisis is upon us – and live like it isn’t?
Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.
It’s been five years since school students first went on strike for climate action. Much has changed.
