Pakistan contributes less than one per cent of greenhouse gas emissions, but has disproportionately felt the impact of climate change.
Climate bills in Australia and the US promise progress without carbon taxes or markets. Here’s why.
A fast-growing population – 50% bigger than it was in 1990 – is causing, directly or indirectly, all of Australia’s serious environmental problems. These impacts must be central to decision-making.
The landmark change places Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies under immense pressure to follow suit.
A field glaciologist explains the changes scientists are now seeing.
