Tropical deforestation can release a huge amount of carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Less-toxic hair dye would be a great invention. But discounting the risks that come with nanoparticles could undermine other efforts to protect human health and environmental from their effects.
Canada has committed to cutting GHG emissions 30 per cent by 2030 from 2005 levels. Can Canada’s oil capital lead the charge? New research shows it’s within reach with bold actions on several fronts.
The new Netflix sci-fi series, with a gumshoe cyborg as its chief protagonist, mines a host of contemporary anxieties and aesthetic influences.
The world is made of tiny building blocks called ‘elements’. Scientists have worked out how fast some elements change into other elements. That gives us a very big clue about how old the Earth is.
A scheme in Wales to introduce personal carbon accounts could point the way to reduce emissions.
Consistent carbon pricing is a key element in the fight against climate change.
While China launches its new energy market, Australia is still lagging behind in implementing a mechanism to control carbon emissions
Boron is the hidden ingredient in a lot of our technology. Get to know this plucky little element.
Can forests effectively remove carbon from the atmosphere?
It’s like one great big distillery up there.
Compressed glassy carbon could be used to make better bulletproof vests or new types of electronics.
Pollution has increased carbon in our soils - which is good for climate change. But this carbon may not stay there for long.
On June 1, Donald Trump announced that he would take the US out of the Paris climate agreement because it was “unfair” to the US. An economic analysis indicates otherwise.
Global warming and carbon emissions, left unchecked, could cause rising sea levels and displace almost 200 million people. But we can still prevent the worst case scenario if we act now.
In his speech this week to the National Press Club, Turnbull initiated a genuine “game-changer” in the debate about power generation in this country. It is instructive to focus explicitly on what he said…
The end of fossil fuels is approaching fast. But the question remains of what to do with those that remain, waiting to be sold.
For three years, carbon emissions from fossil fuels have grown little or not at all, opening a window of opportunity to halt climate change.
You just need to apply some science.
