The seesaw between El Niño and La Niña is set to get stronger with global warming. Signs are that this year and next will deliver a big swing from one to the other, prompting fires and floods across the world.
Study of natural variability explains slowdowns in the rate of warming in recent decades – and is key to improving climate models.
After all the jubilation about the president’s plan, it’s time for a reality check.
Carbon tax debates have been happening ever since the late 1980s, when policy-makers first started taking the “greenhouse effect” seriously.
Australia’s new emissions target is not “squarely in the middle of comparable economies”. Towards the bottom of the pack of comparable countries, on key indicators. But Australia is coming to the party, and that counts for a lot.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said his government’s 2030 climate target will be good for the environment and jobs – and good for protecting the nation’s coal industry.
Australia will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2030. Experts respond.
Is ambitious action on climate change a recipe for a significant hit to the economy and our living standards?
A politician invites coal industry representatives to a celebration of their work at the New South Wales Parliament. The purpose? To push the message that coal is absolutely essential to our economy and wellbeing.
Sea level rise represents one of the most worrying aspects of global warming, potentially displacing millions of people along coasts, low river valleys, deltas and islands.
Given existing technologies, expanding access to electricity almost always increases CO2 emissions. There are real trade-offs between addressing poverty and climate change.
Climate change leads to increased likelihood of drought, but strategies for mitigation could make things even worse. How can we resolve the conundrum?
The Federal Court has overturned federal environmental approval of the A$16.5 billion Adani’s coal mine project in central Queensland.
What happens beneath the surface before a volcano erupts? Can we predict when one will blow? And how can typhoons and melting glaciers contribute to big eruptions?
The expected barrage of legal attacks on the EPA Clean Power Plan hinge on two arguments, which may ultimately go to the US Supreme Court.
How the US ended up regulating carbon emissions using the 1970 Clean Air Act rather than a national cap-and-trade emissions trading system.
A panel of scholars provide analysis of the Obama administration’s EPA Clean Power Plan and its impact on the electricity sector, the climate and politics at home and abroad.
New research shows that we’ll have to remove carbon from the atmosphere for any chance of keeping warming below 2C.
Like it or not we are going to have to figure out how to suck lots of carbon out of the atmosphere.
