The early heat melted snow and warmed rivers, heating up the land and downstream ocean areas. The effects harmed salmon fisheries, melted sea ice and fueled widespread fires.
The world’s coastal deltas are home to hundreds of thousands of people – but they’re now under threat.
In the first commitment of its kind, 63 countries promised to slash emissions from cooling and refrigeration.
Though hard to quantify, the social consequences of climate change are vast.
Taking MDMA can raise our body temperature higher than it should be. Extreme heat may compound this effect.
Theatre and the arts can be vehicles for thinking globally and acting locally, embracing alternative ways of knowing and acknowledging holistic approaches to addressing climate change.
Investors seem not to care about climate risks, but they really should.
Areas of the world where species are exposed to potentially dangerous temperatures are due to get much bigger.
While the notion of terroir has long been the foundation of European wine, research in the 1930s in the US began to reveal the link between climate and wine.
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?
The proliferation of Antarctic research stations – 77 in all – is increasing knowledge of the continent but also the human impacts. A new study has identified the best ways to limit these impacts.
Garbage is decomposing in landfill sites across sub-Saharan Africa, releasing methane gas. If governments harnessed this as clean energy, Africa would avoid environmental damage worth US$6.7 billion.
Does the science support the need for a fossil fuel phase out to reach 1.5 C? The answer depends on whether we believe that carbon capture and removal technologies can be deployed safely at scale.
Undersea ‘fire-ice’ is vulnerable to leaking greenhouse gas, finds new study.
Is reaching net zero emissions by 2050 enough to halt warming? One leading scientist says no.
Hot temperatures seem to lead to aggression, both in real life and online.
The pilot project opening in Sydney will use the best available evidence to keep vulnerable people cool on the hottest of days.
Embracing hope in the good, alongside recognizing the bad, can reduce eco-anxiety, improve mental health and may just be the key to driving strong and meaningful climate action.
One positive change can lead to another.
