Carbon dioxide removal is different to carbon capture, utilisation and storage. It’s easy to confuse the two processes but they tackle different problems.
These ancient wetlands are wildlife hotspots and crucial carbon stores.
Human-made carbon dioxide emissions threaten the very survival of our larger pollinators.
We know not to leave lights on all day. We also know not to run an air conditioner with windows open. We need a similar mindset for AI.
Many Formula 1 innovations have made their way from the racetrack to regular roads. But technological improvements can only go so far toward limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
Recognising the power and subjectivity of the lenses through which we observe and narrate the climate reveals new ways to make positive change.
If global healthcare were a country, it would be one of the world’s top five greenhouse gas emitters.
By integrating sustainability into AI laws, the planet can be somewhat safeguarded alongside AI’s rapid expansion.
What is the future for Britain’s sheep? Farmers are choosing to keep fewer animals.
If recent trends continue, the atmosphere may become a little toxic to breathe in 50 years.
Australia’s new fuel efficiency standards are already working to cut emissions – but the real story is behind the scenes.
If flights dominate emissions, then the biggest wins won’t come from menus or outfits.
The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.
Cimate scientists are more certain than ever that humans are changing the climate – but there are signs of hope on the horizon.
