The UK was part of the EU’s collective pledge of emissions cuts ahead of Paris.
As climate change alters temperature and precipitation patterns across the US, it is having especially severe impacts on national parks. These changes could happen faster than many plants and animals can adapt.
Donald Trump claims his administration has carried out an “all-out effort” in preparing for the effects of climate change. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The future climate that scientists predict for the middle of the United States is one that will foster more hail events with bigger hailstones.
AI can definitely help us monitor floods and could perhaps even deliver more accurate early-warning messages in the near future.
It’s quite hard to tell when a sea creature is extinct – there’s always hope it will turn up somewhere.
With consultation underway to improve the New Zealand emissions trading scheme, experts argue that a reserve price on emissions units could help rebuild confidence in low-emission investment.
As Trump fumes about the Hurricane Maria death toll, it’s clear that politics and political considerations often play an important role in how death toll estimates are communicated to the public.
Despite the leaders of both countries being champions of fighting climate change, research shows both Canada and France are failing to train their accountants in sustainability. Why?
Scientists need to continue working across disciplines to find ways to disrupt disease transmission in the context of climate change.
We take salt water for granted, and often overlook how important it is for our own lives and in sustaining a healthy planet.
Don’t believe the skeptics or the conspiracy theorists: Weather forecasters can’t slant hurricane warnings to make political points.
Relocation from risky areas is the only safe response.
Hurricanes in the southern US have caused widespread damage inland in recent decades, mainly through river flooding. But evacuations and stormproofing focus almost entirely on keeping people safe on the coasts.
The US government is set to make it easier for oil and gas firms to leak methane into the atmosphere.
Wetlands are some of the world’s most undervalued weapons against climate change. They store huge quantities of carbon – but without better protection, many could soon be drained or paved over.
Google search histories can be used to reveal how much the public knows about climate change in countries all over the world - and how ready they are to take action to guard against its effects.
Confrontation between French and British scallop fishers is a warning about the resource conflicts of the future.
Climate science in the computer age is the pursuit of elite scientists. A historian of science sees an upside to the popular, participatory approach of studying changes to the climate from the 19th century.
