The school strikes are a serious moral challenge to climate inaction, but they must overcome certain challenges to maintain momentum.
How can the climate strikers' demands of system change be met?
What's the best thing I can do to help the climate? How long is the planet going to last? These questions and more answered by a climate scientist.
The original New Deal caused a "great acceleration" in carbon emissions. How will a Green New Deal forge its own legacy?
Marine heatwaves, like their land counterparts, are growing hotter and longer. Sea species in southeastern Australia, southeast Asia, northwestern Africa, Europe and eastern Canada are most at risk.
The Green New Deal has shifted the debate over what to do about climate change.
By making people confront the scale of the climate challenge, the Green New Deal is a great leap forward.
Record heat in February 2019 caused shock and delight in equal measure. Behind the balmy weather lie challenges for British wildlife.
Reducing emissions doesn't have to conflict with a growing economy, as these 18 developed nations show.
While countries recognise the urgent need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by favouring greener energies, the ever-increasing demand for electricity has led to rising coal consumption.
A combination of reasons have led to the drying of the Sahel.
Polar bears 'invading' a Russian village have renewed concern over climate change in the Arctic, but human-wildlife conflicts are flaring up everywhere.
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.
