The way we currently produce food around the world contributes up to 20-30% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and accounts for 70% of all human water use. But is it possible to eat well and take…

The political outlook for renewable energy is not great – and I’m not just talking about the view out of Joe Hockey’s car window. The Renewable Energy Target (RET), which aims to deliver 41 million megawatt-hours…
Recent news that a gas project in Queensland has been charged with environmental harm has put the spotlight on underground coal gasification, or UCG. Linc Energy’s Chinchilla project was a pilot UCG project…
The latest review of Australia’s energy-saving appliance scheme has delivered a rare trifecta: a good news story for the economy, the community and the environment. According to my estimates from data…
After a week of mostly bad news on climate change, new figures reveal that Australia easily beat its first internationally-agreed climate target, with nearly 131 million tonnes of emissions to spare. That’s…
Little-studied synthetic gases could have large effects on the ozone layer and climate if their use goes unchecked, according…
A Labor-dominated Senate committee has set the stage for the post-July tussle over carbon policy, recommending that Australia commit to much deeper emissions cuts than the current 5% target, and advising…
Strong winds linked to climate change and the hole in the ozone layer are driving a steady increase in Antarctic sea ice, even as Arctic levels continue to shrink dramatically, a new report shows. While…
Raising livestock accounts for the largest single land-use on Earth. Cattle, sheep and goats, pigs and poultry occupy around 30% of the planet’s land area not covered in ice, generate 40% of the world’s…
The resources required to raise livestock and the impacts of farm animals on environments vary dramatically depending on…
Rivers and streams release carbon dioxide at a rate five times greater than the world’s lakes and reservoirs combined. The…
The USA’s methane emissions, a type of greenhouse gas, have been found to be severely underestimated according to new research…
Ninety companies produced almost two-thirds of greenhouse gases released since the Industrial Revolution, according to new…
Greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost have been greatly underestimated in current climate models, according to…
Natural variability alone does not account for observed changes in global (ocean and land) precipitation; rather, those changes…
Many surface soils in the southwest of Western Australia are already storing as much carbon as they can, a study has found…
Flights entering and exiting Australia and New Zealand are responsible for the highest levels of ozone pollution created…
A Curtin University survey has shown Australian winemakers are working to reduce climate change by cutting down their use…
A new micro-organism has been discovered that could help tackle greenhouse gas emissions. University of Queensland researchers…
A joint project between scientists in the UK and China has shown how improved methods of manufacturing nitrogen fertiliser and better use of it by farmers could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds…
