Even supposedly “green” technologies such as renewable energy require materials, land and solar exposure and cannot grow indefinitely on this planet.
University research has shown us how urgently we need to reduce greenhouse emissions. Yet only three Australian universities have followed through by committing unequivocally to cutting carbon.
Global emissions from fossil fuels have stalled. That puts us in the right place to keep warming below 2°C, but there’s plenty of work still to be done.
Leaders are worried US leadership on global issues like climate change will be diminished under President Trump. Experts explain why China is ready to lead, and how that could be a good thing.
The idea of clean coal has been around for 40 years, but remains a pipe dream.
Australia’s plan to bring fuel efficiency standards up to par with the US and Europe could see us say goodbye to regular unleaded, and hello to a useful way of cutting our rising greenhouse emissions.
The end of 2016 has brought balmy Arctic temperatures and record low ice extent for the time of year. It’s a freak event even by modern standards, and climate models point the finger firmly at humans.
Methane concentrations in the atmosphere are growing at a faster rate than any time in the past 20 years.
The Earth’s orbit has driven ice ages in the past but those days could be over.
The food we eat is responsible for almost a third of our global carbon footprint.
If Donald Trump turns away from climate action as George W. Bush did, Europe and China can respond by forming an alliance that will turn the United States from a climate leader into a follower.
Cape Grim’s air pollution station has recorded some of the biggest changes to the world’s atmosphere over the past 40 years.
Poor management of the oceans, including the killing of crucial marine predators, could result in more greenhouse gasses.
While action on air pollution is welcome, there may be better ways to cut car emissions.
An international meeting looks set to approve a mandatory system of carbon offsetting for international flights - a big step forward but one that might be hard to integrate with the Paris Agreement.
Environment and energy minister Josh Frydenberg said that eight out of Australia’s 12 most emission intensive power stations closed in the last five years. Is that right?
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency has survived, amid a groundswell of domestic and overseas support. Its budget has been chopped, but here’s how it can still drive the renewable energy revolution.
Two members of the Climate Change Authority offer an alternative view on its latest report, arguing that the recommendations are not in line with Australia’s international climate obligations.
Civic intelligence describes what happens when people work together to address problems efficiently and equitably. It could help address many societal challenges.
