If electric cars are useful for the energy transition, they’re not without flaws and drawbacks and should not make us forget the need to reduce car use.
As the world waits with bated breath for the release of the latest UN climate report, let’s take a fresh look at the IPCC. What can we expect from the Synthesis Report on Monday evening?
All those Cinderella stories, buzzer-beating finishes and wild cheering sections have a high price tag – for the climate.
Labor has ruled out banning new fossil fuel developments. Even so, there are many climate deals the government and the Greens could strike
There’s no simple “yes” or “no” answer to whether we should produce more children when Earth is in such dire straits.
Evidence in Earth’s natural archives, from tree rings to seafloor sediments, points to one trend. Some climate models suggest another.
New Zealand is considering a plan to tax methane from cows. But while cows and cars both emit greenhouse gases, they don’t have the same impact over time.
We’re rarely aware of a company’s full environmental footprint.
The ocean twilight zone could store vast amounts of carbon captured from the atmosphere, but first we need a 4D monitoring system to ensure ramping up carbon storage does no harm.
California is one of the world’s largest economies, and it’s aiming for net-zero emissions by 2045. A transportation expert involved in the plan explains why it just might succeed.
Policies that encourage the use of low-carbon technology like heat pumps can help motivate residents to decarbonize their homes.
Both sides have reason to find common ground, says a group of energy and climate policy analysts.
New research explores why Canadians want SUVs, what they like about them and what might steer drivers towards lower-emitting cars.
