A new type of petrol is expected to cut carbon dioxide
With a massive territory to manage, all actions taken - to prevent, to detect and to fire fight - aren’t enough.
Every increase in one degree of global warming will increase losses of crops to insects from 10% to 25%.
The New Orleans region is likely to see a hurricane about every seven years and a major hurricane about every 20.
In a region threatened by coastal erosion, a group of school students learned how they could explore change using visual stories and poems.
They argued the NSW Environment Protection Authority should take action on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. In an Aussie first, the court agreed.
Major coal generators say the proposal will help shore up energy supplies. But opponents say it will pay coal plants for simply existing and delay the clean energy transition.
Understanding the moral dimensions of climate decisions could help promote fairer and more effective climate action
Sudbury was once known as one of the world’s most polluted cities. But it transformed itself with the help of the mining industry.
A new attribution study finds human-caused climate change made Europe’s July floods more likely. What about Tennessee’s flooding? An atmospheric scientist explains how scientists make the connection.
Greenland’s melting ice sheets threaten to significantly hamper humanity’s efforts to mitigate climate change.
In the absence of national leadership, local communities are forging new responses to the climate crisis in places where they live, work and play. These three examples show how.
Planting a massive number of trees can help slow climate change, but it is only part of the solution.
The infrastructure bill being debated in Congress looks like a small but genuine down payment on a more climate-friendly transportation sector and electric power grid. What comes next is crucial.
Greenland’s conditions were once similar to those of a greenhouse. Volcanoes swelled the land, constricted seaways and gigatonnes of greenhouse gases were released into the atmosphere.
Adopting more environmentally conscious farm models would safeguard our agricultural exports, cut emissions and help protect nature.
Corals in the Persian Gulf are tough - they can withstand temperatures that would kill corals elsewhere. And there’s good news: it’s easy to cross-breed their heat-tolerance genes into other corals.
We’ve identified three frog species very likely to already be extinct. Another four species on our list are still surviving, but not likely to make it to 2040 without help.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is ‘listening’ to a woman quietly holding a climate action sign outside parliament. But politicians have a vested interest in downplaying disruptive protests.
