The world economy collapsed when homeowners couldn't repay subprime mortgages. We're now making a similar bet on 'repaying' carbon emissions.

Cities make their own climate, so such like-for-like comparisons are too simplistic.
Our research suggests it's not too late to avoid drastic climate change – if we act now.
Technology can only go so far in making sense of our vast and intricate atmosphere.
Scientific problems require evidence-led solutions. A new proposal to create a federal environmental decision-making body would take some of the politics out of climate policy.
The amount of atmospheric energy available to thunderstorms will increase in response to climate change, putting the tropics and subtropics at risk of being lashed with more intense storms.
Global warming of 2℃, the higher of the two Paris targets, would see current record-breaking temperatures become the norm in the future, potentially bringing heatwaves to both land and sea.
If the Pacific Ocean enters an 'El Tio' phase, it could speed the world towards 1.5 degrees of global warming, one of the crucial benchmarks of the Paris Climate Agreement.
CSIRO was instrumental in creating a unified plan for all of Australia's climate research. The latest round of cuts would see that collaboration fall apart.
Climate models are complicated - and necessarily so if they are to recreate our complex world. But a new, simpler climate model aims to take some of the mystery out of the art of climate modelling.
Maurice Newman's implication that discrepancies resulting from the recent climate fluctuation somehow invalidates climate models is incorrect.
Climate and weather models have come far in recent decades, and Australia has one of the best.
Climate models can recreate the slowdown in global warming since 1998, as long as they correctly factor in crucial variables…
The state of the British summer has always been a constant source of fascination and irritation, if only for its fickle nature. Now the latest prediction is for more heavy summer downpours. Our study…
Britain’s warm, wet winter brought floods and misery to many living across southern England, with large parts of Somerset lying underwater for months. When in January rainfall was double the expected average…
A new supercomputer, called ARCHER, has recently been launched. ARCHER is a Cray XC30, funded by EPSRC and NERC. It is more than three times more powerful than its predecessor, HECToR, and is hosted by…
While the prime minister has shown unequivocal support for exploiting Britain’s shale gas reserves, stating the country should “go all out for shale gas”, more cautious voices point to possible effects…
As CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase, so too does the earth’s sensitivity to the gas, according to new research conducted…
Compiled in collaboration with Australian Science Media Centre. New research by the Bureau of Meteorology - published shows…
We have some idea of what the future may look like under climate change, and now, thanks to new research, we have a better…
