With increasing human pressure on the environment, how can we save wildlife while lifting people out of poverty? A new manifesto argues for using technology to intensify energy and agriculture.
Climate and weather models have come far in recent decades, and Australia has one of the best.
Backtracking on climate policy would make achievement of a global climate agreement much more difficult, with disastrous results.
Rabbits and hares will flee towards the poles as global warming changes the places they once called home.
Ambitious climate targets, but nature policies leave a lot to be desired.
More evidence that planet Earth has gone through various frozen phases.
The upcoming encyclical from Pope Francis can transform the climate change culture wars in America.
