None of Canada’s past climate targets or plans has been credible. But the math on the latest plan, which relies on a steadily increasing carbon price, could have Canada meet its 2030 goal.
Species can evolve to tolerate higher temperatures – but there’s a ceiling beyond which adaptation isn’t possible.
A year out from the postponed 26th UN conference, the UK held an online meeting to drum up goodwill for climate action.
Training neural networks burns through a lot of energy. As the AI field grows, it’s working to keep its carbon foot print from growing with it.
The Paris Agreement desperately needs to be updated. Currently the big exporters take no responsibility for the emissions created when those fossil fuels are burned overseas.
A severe climate change event on Venus may have transformed an Earth-like climate to the current uninhabitable-to-humans state.
Done right, offsetting projects can benefit local people and make a measurable difference to carbon emissions.
Climate change is a true existential threat for small island nations, but the US has done little to help the Marshall Islands, which it administered for decades.
The Paris Agreement set countries on a path to limit global warming. Five years on, some progress has been made, but not enough. Decarbonizing the economy will take leadership and imagination.
