The global shipping sector delivers 90% of global trade and has a carbon footprint the size of Germany’s.
The clock tracks global emissions and temperature data, and uses the most recent five-year emissions trend to estimate how much time is left until global warming reaches the 1.5 C threshold.
Targets for reductions in methane and other greenhouse gases should be guided by science, and set in line with the Paris deal.
Take a closer look at what’s driving climate change and how scientists know CO2 is involved, in a series of charts examining the evidence in different ways.
Halting forest loss is a crucial milestone on the road to net zero.
Transcripts and internal documents show how the industry shifted from leading research into fossil fuels’ effect on the climate to sowing doubt about science.
Warm autumn weather has produced dull leaf colors across the eastern US this year, but climate change isn’t the only way that humans have altered trees’ fall displays.
Saudi Arabia and soon Australia are making net zero pledges, but they have no plans to wind down fossil fuel output soon.
CO₂ is used in a range of industries, from food production to pharmaceuticals.
This enormous, unprecedented algal bloom could have profound implications for carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and for the marine ecosystem.
A new study provides a detailed way to calculate the climate impact of food production, which could lead to more sustainable farming policies and methods.
The world is moving away fossil fuels, and there’s nothing Australia can do about it. Racing to dig up and sell whatever fossil fuels we can before the timer stops is not a future-proof strategy.
Towering trees in African tropical mountain forests are a vital, overlooked carbon store threatened by deforestation.
Beetles exposed to elevated carbon dioxide emerged later and smaller and had a reduced chance of making it to adulthood.
In ancient Earth’s atmosphere, microbes called acetogens were able to recycle carbon dioxide using chemical energy sources such as hydrogen.
Planting a massive number of trees can help slow climate change, but it is only part of the solution.
Secondary forests are growing on deforested land in the Amazon – but not enough to offset emissions from logging.
New research shows how the Montreal Protocol protected vegetation, helping keep carbon out of the atmosphere.
Hydrogen fuel derived from natural gas may be worse for the climate than the fossil fuel even with carbon capture and storage.
