‘Two polar bears walk into a bar …’ is an unlikely opener for a joke, but memes and parodies are surprisingly effective ways to get people talking about climate change.

From 3D printing using plastic waste to growing cherry trees in the Himalayas, young people are not sitting idle while the world burns.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has inspired the cross-country climate marches, but accountability lies with governments and corporations.
Economic growth and climate change are related. It is time to question the economics and foster discussions about the hard decisions we must make.
The world has witnessed millions of youth demonstrating across the globe about the need for climate action.
Our own planet shows that environmental modification is possible on a planetary scale in quite a short span of time.
In just five Florida Panhandle counties, sea level rise could swamp more than 500 archaeological sites that tell the story of when and how Native Americans lived along the Gulf Coast.
Decarbonizing the global economy would help the climate change problem – but also many others. Would putting all those additional co-benefits center stage help drum up support for climate action?
A devastating quake and tsunami in the Pacific Ocean prompted a new kind of post-disaster research. Ten years on, we need these lessons to prepare for a precarious future.
More than 600 experts will spend the next year drifting in Arctic waters to gain a better understanding of how climate change is affecting the region and how it can be fought.
Québec courts ordered tobacco companies to pay smokers $15 billion for the health problems caused by their products. Could fossil fuel companies be next?
A combination of flawed science and over-optimism meant experts misinterpreted the data that helped calculate estimates of cod stocks back in 2017.
If nothing is done now, seas could rise a metre by 2100, and four metres by 2300.
Rising sea levels, unstable weather, and a much smaller carbon budget.

California’s new plan to fight global climate change is innovative. But it raises tricky ethical questions with no easy answers.
The IPCC report says extreme sea level events that used to hit once a century will occur once a year in many places by 2050. This situation is inevitable, even if emissions are dramatically curbed.
While a new report from the IPCC highlights the need for urgent climate change action, Morrison used his address to the UN to strongly defend the government’s performance on climate change.
