The coal, oil and natural gas industries are also connected with human rights violations, public health disasters and environmental devastation.
Melting ice caps, burning forests – the climate disaster future is increasingly the present.
Polls suggest that the majority of Americans think climate change is real, is caused by humans and needs to be addressed. But climate change isn't a priority when Americans go to vote.
Donald Trump has threatened to use funds allocated for disaster relief to fund his border wall. It's time to rethink how we frame disasters to stop politicians from using them for political gain.
Ponds are good for more than just decorating the garden – they could be your best tool in fighting climate change.
These technologies could turn into a powerful tool for fighting global warming, and they have the potential to address historical climate injustices.
Many researchers have studied the impact of carbon dioxide and heat on crop growth inside greenhouses. But what happens in the real world? One team has just done this and the results are surprising.
The number of people dying due to climate-led changes in the environment are increasing and the poorest populations remain the hardest hit.
Most cases of breast cancer are related to environmental causes. When we talk about climate change, we must not forget this part of the story.
Climate change threatens to cause mass extinctions – but how, exactly? New research suggests male fertility may be the weakest link.
Many of the crop plants that feed us waste 20 percent of their energy, especially in hot weather. Plant geneticists prove that capturing this energy could boost crop yields by up to 40 percent.
Water supply systems weren't designed to deal with altering weather patterns brought about by climate change. This needs to change.
Nations may soon be desperate enough about global warming to consider deliberately engineering the world’s climate.
The realities of climate change look bleak, but is relying on a climate engineering project like solar radiation management the answer?
