Parts of Argentina and the Chilean Andes experienced some of their highest temperatures on record.
More than a century of research shows that burning fossil fuels warms the climate – that’s exactly why granting new North Sea oil and gas licenses is a bad idea.
Expect more extremes and a range of ‘surprises’ to exacerbate the climate emergency.
A thin layer of surface water has been baked by the sun.
A short history of predicting an ice-free Arctic – and why you should listen to this one.
Honolulu, Baltimore, Charleston, S.C. and several other cities harmed by rising seas and extreme weather are suing the oil industry. At stake is who pays for the staggering costs of climate change.
Fear and Wonder is a new climate podcast, brought to you by The Conversation and the Climate Council. In this final episode, we discuss how poorer nations are at greater risk to a changing climate.
In May 1953, scientist Gilbert Plass made some extraordinarily prescient comments.
Where there’s fire, there’s smoke – could plumes from the Black Summer of fire have cooled regions of the Pacific and triggered a La Niña? New research suggests it’s possible.
