An expert report shows that the G20 countries are using their energy more efficiently. But there is still a long way to go.
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.
Greenland’s ice is largely responsible for the accelerating pace of sea-level rise. A new analysis shows that, while Greenland accounted for just 5% of the rise in 1993, that figure rose to 25% by 2014.
Solar radiation management might be able to reduce some of the risks of global warming while countries get their emissions under control.
Diversity, resilience, resistance to disease: seeds must be preserved to ensure we can feed our world in the future.
The current rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is unprecedented in the past 800,000 years. As our video explains, ice cores track human changes to the atmosphere that are far beyond natural.
While many people are willing to happily gamble with pharmaceuticals, which may offer the most trivial of benefits, they are not ready to believe the facts on climate change.
The Paris climate agreement aims to keep global warming to within 2°C above ‘pre-industrial levels’. But what does that mean, exactly?
As the US leaves the Paris accord, how much faith should we put in international treaties? States, cities and local movements are increasingly important players in the fight against climate change.
While the gases most responsible for global warming - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - continue to climb, other industrial greenhouse gases are being brought gradually under control.
The White House is deciding whether or not to stay in the Paris climate agreement. But a large majority of Americans – including Trump voters – want the U.S. to participate and lead.
What if extreme weather events could be attributed to human-induced climate change with confidence?
If the Pacific Ocean enters an ‘El Tio’ phase, it could speed the world towards 1.5 degrees of global warming, one of the crucial benchmarks of the Paris Climate Agreement.
This summer sees the release of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.
Scientists from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe take on the White House with facts from the ground they stand on.
Though business and industry are significantly contributing to climate change, business schools across the country are not preparing our future leaders for the dramatic shift this planet needs.
For the first time the Great Barrier Reef has been hit by mass bleaching in consecutive years, with only the reef’s southernmost stretches having escaped both events unscathed.
The new sub allows scientists to access some of the most remote and hazardous environments in the ocean.
In science, the word ‘theory’ has a very specific meaning that’s easy for nonscientists to misunderstand or misconstrue. Here’s what a theory must withstand to be accepted by the scientific community.
