Most cases of breast cancer are related to environmental causes. When we talk about climate change, we must not forget this part of the story.

Climate change threatens to cause mass extinctions – but how, exactly? New research suggests male fertility may be the weakest link.
Many of the crop plants that feed us waste 20 percent of their energy, especially in hot weather. Plant geneticists prove that capturing this energy could boost crop yields by up to 40 percent.
New research addresses two questions about the supposed ‘pause’ in warming.
Water supply systems weren’t designed to deal with altering weather patterns brought about by climate change. This needs to change.
Nations may soon be desperate enough about global warming to consider deliberately engineering the world’s climate.
The realities of climate change look bleak, but is relying on a climate engineering project like solar radiation management the answer?
Private finance crashed the economy and is too consumed by the profit motive to be a reliable ally against climate change. We should not allow COP24 to be their board meeting.
If we need more trees, many will have to be introduced into managed agricultural mosaic landscapes.
With so much attention focused on what agreements come out of COP24, protesters should be seizing the initiative to attack the root causes of climate change.
Replanting the world’s great forests should be a central demand at COP24.
Increase of carbon dioxide in the ocean affects the way fish detect predators, mates or food and could threaten not only individual fish but entire populations.
Canada has joined the international community in calling for a transition away from fossil fuels. There is no reason to wait for more painful disruption before planning for that transition.
Extreme climatic events are harming plant communities in the Arctic. The resulting colour change is bad news for the region’s carbon storage.
A wealth tax would put a price on past emissions and could be used to mitigate the negative effects of poverty, including vulnerability to climate change.
Bitcoin may have a large carbon footprint, but cleaner digital currencies aren’t going to prevent an environmental disaster.
According to a new study, the oceans have absorbed more heat from climate change than previously thought. This could mean the Earth will warm even faster in the future than scientists have predicted.
Vast ‘underwater meadows’ would lock up lots of carbon.
Conservative skeptics of climate change may support projects focused on ‘resilience’ – for example, preparing a community for future major weather events.
Convincing people to see and appreciate the threats posed by climate change is one of the great challenges of our day. Insurers may be able to succeed where scientists and educators have failed.
