If the forecasts are right, the US could be facing more natural disasters this year – on top of the coronavirus pandemic. Local governments aren’t prepared.
Warmer waters, heavier storms and nutrient pollution are a triple threat to Great Lakes cities’ drinking water. The solution: Cutting nutrient releases and installing systems to filter runoff.
Plants take carbon from the atmosphere as they grow, but it goes straight back when they die or are harvested. There is an important difference between carbon fluxes and actual carbon sequestration.
Cold-water plankton is being replaced by warm-water species.
The response to COVID-19 suggests how we can leverage entrepreneurial approaches to climate change.
Stay connected and engaged to the climate change cause, and you might find we emerge from the coronavirus crisis with more hope than before.
The disasters have come one after another. While they may not be entirely preventable, we can take many practical steps tailored to local needs and conditions to reduce the impacts on our cities.
When the things we consider to be normal break down, outcomes that once seemed unlikely or extraordinary become possible.
Unstable funding, social distancing and the likelihood that other countries won’t be able to help — these all raise the potential of a nightmarish scenario.
New research identifies areas where species may take refuge as the climate changes and finds they’re largely unprotected.
Climate change is making extreme weather events, both hot and cold, more frequent across the Great Lakes region. Weatherizing low-income residents’ homes is an important way to prepare.
Climate change is affecting our planet’s biodiversity, yet some species can find ways to adapt. Using citizen-science data, a French research team is studying how birds adjust to local heat levels.
We must re-establish contact between our cities and the natural world.
Talking about energy transitions could help overcome the impasse we seem to have reached on climate change.
Over the next 50 years, the arid zone – containing the areas of true desert – is projected to expand well into the Murray-Darling Basin and almost entirely envelope the Lake Eyre Basin.
It is not the case that all extreme weather events are being made stronger or more frequent.
When the current crisis passes, we must seize the opportunity to re-imagine, and to create, a different kind of future.
The original Dust Bowl crashed US wheat production. Today, it would reduce global stocks by a third.
During the transitional period between the Pleistocene and Holocene epoch, the Earth’s temperature underwent massive change, forcing prehistoric humans in Indonesia to change their diet.
