Environmental charities are worried about speaking out about climate change during the upcoming federal campaign for fear Elections Canada will consider their activities as “partisan.”
A warming climate will affect the way waves hit over 50% of the world’s coastlines, increasing erosion and the risk of flooding.
Allergic reactions to pollen may occur at different times of the year and for prolonged periods, and this will worsen with climate change.
Fossil fuels are heating the atmosphere – but the fact that we’re burning them may not be the only reason.
As the oceans warm, fish are moving to stay in temperature zones where they have evolved to live. This is helping some species, hurting others and causing a net reduction in potential catch.
The Haiyan Typhoon disaster is a cautionary case for climate adaptation and mitigation because it demonstrates the seductiveness of survival myths.
Australia ensured its official communique watered down commitments to respond to climate change, gaining a hollow victory.
Every word of the 40-page summary document has to be agreed by representatives of 195 governments.
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that Australia’s inability – or refusal – to take firmer action on climate change is undermining its entire ‘Pacific step-up’.
New research shows that ocean and air temperatures both contributed to the melting of Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf in the past, but melting from below by a warming ocean became more important over time.
More than a century since humans learned to fly, we need to revolutionise how we stay up there.
A researcher based in Fairbanks, Alaska, links 2019’s record-breaking wildfires in far northern regions of the world to climate change, and describes what it’s like as zones near her city burn.

Inequality in wealth, emissions and vulnerability means some are more responsible for climate action than others.
Cold fronts swept south-eastern Australia, bringing snow and freezing temperatures. While snow is expected to decrease with climate change, cold snaps are likely to keep coming.
The decision of Suncorp to dump coal, just months after the re-election of the Morrison government, makes it clear that insurers can’t afford wishful thinking.
A new report calls land key to solving climate change. The good news is that there are strategies for reducing carbon emissions from land use that can also produce economic and social benefits.
