The concerns about genetically modified foods are well known. But when we look at population and climate projections, what happens if we don’t use them to increase our food supply?
The U.S. Southwest drifted into a drier state during the last 35 years due to fewer rain-producing weather patterns and hotter temperatures.
Africa has fewer resources than others when it comes to climate change adaptation. For this reason environmental agreements must be monitored by the likes of the AU.
The 2016 State of the Nation Address provides President Zuma with the ideal opportunity to be statesman-like. That would require bold action of his part, something that he is unlikely to do.
New data analysis shows bushfires have increased by 40% in the past five years.
Chief scientist Alan Finkel comments on cuts to climate jobs at CSIRO.
Climate scientists are finding a disconnect between communities and climate science: people simply don’t trust the information they’re receiving.
The countries that have contributed the least to climate change will experience the worst of its effects.
Despite what some climate advocates think, extreme weather events do little to sway Americans’ political views on climate change.
CSIRO’s climate scientists haven’t “finished” just because climate change is real. Without their expertise, we could waste billions on drought or flood planning that’s not backed by the latest science.
Any shift in the focus of climate change research at CSIRO should look at how to stop the problem and reduce its impact on Australia.
CSIRO’s climate science has contributed a number of important, and unexpected, findings.
Forests that grow back after being cleared for agriculture or by logging grow back much faster than old-growth forests, soaking up carbon and providing vital habitat.
Models based on where the mosquitoes that transmit Zika are found and human travel patterns to and from infected areas are key to predicting where the virus will spread.
Former PM’s business advisor Maurice Newman recently claimed that satellite temperature data tell a different story to data collected on the ground. He’s right - but that’s how it’s meant to be.
Bushfires are threatening Tasmania’s World Heritage area and ancient plants, warning us of a possible future under climate change.
South Africa’s Western Cape is the first region in the country to put together a comprehensive plan to help farmers deal with changes in weather patterns brought on by climate change.
No matter how much evidence scientists present in support of climate change there are those who refuse to believe it. They think it’s all part of the consprarcy theory.
Prepare for misinformation and grand talk of scientific conspiracies.
