Bureau of Meteorology researchers painstakingly analysed more than 40 years of data to work out exactly what is causing Australia’s spring bushfire phenomenon.
Our research looked at what did – and didn’t – work in Canada, Australia and Germany.
It’s easy to spot outright rejection of the facts on climate change. But it’s far harder to see our own biases and excuses that lead us to delay or deny the need for real action.
People are more likely to deny climate change if they’re inclined toward hierarchy, have lower levels of education or are more religious. But the strongest predictor of denial is a person’s politics.
Democracy is not perfect. Sometimes it produces policies that are undemocratic and unjust. In those cases, breaking the law may be justified.
Australia’s entire coal fleet will retire in the next few decades. The federal government’s response to the Hazelwood coal plant closure has left a mess – it must do better.
A Senate report recommended several measures the government should take to prepare for climate-fuelled migration, natural disasters and conflicts. The response so far has been underwhelming.
Proper support for breastfeeding is an environmental imperative.
Net benefits depend on how workers use the long weekend.
A call to make our cities more resilient to climate change could drive one of the largest new infrastructure builds in history.
Major new ‘State of Nature’ report shows wildlife numbers still falling but conservation measures can work.
Some of Australia’s biggest property companies are making ambitious emissions-reduction pledges – but how well are they really doing?
New research shows that warming by more than 2°C could be a tipping point for Antarctica’s ice sheets, resulting in widespread meltdown and changes to the world’s shorelines for centuries to come.
The climate emergency requires the full mobilisation of scientific institutions, but the persistent compartmentalization between disciplines and difficulties of adaptation hinder their action.
These lakes could threaten the future stability of parts of the Antarctic ice sheet.
Australian supermarkets and fast food chains will soon be stocking a homegrown meat alternative that tastes and feels like meat and even sizzles on the barbecue.
