Most of us lack the expertise to evaluate climate science, but there are ways anyone can spot a badly reasoned argument.
Africa’s immediate challenge is to develop closer partnerships with those opposing US President Donald Trump.
A climate scientist explains how New Hampshire managed to overcome the political divide to make real progress on climate change.
A new study shows that polar bears require more food than previously thought. The scientists used collars that tracked bears’ movements and metabolic rates.
Big data open-access publishing and other advances offer ecologists the ability to forecast events like pest outbreaks over days and seasons rather than decades. But scholars need to seize this opportunity.
Parents only want the best for their children, but caring for the environment doesn’t happen overnight.
