Carbon dioxide emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet. Too much of it can disrupt the climate and oceans.
The 2009 finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health underpins many U.S. climate policies. A new report meant to challenge it may run afoul of several laws.
Parts of California are seeing fire season start more than 10 weeks earlier now than in the 1990s.
The American public agrees that vehicle emissions are harmful and should be regulated, and has indicated strong preferences for cars that pollute less.
The ruling stems from the harm island nations are suffering as sea level rises, and it opens a door for future claims for reparations. But getting to that point isn’t so simple.
Trump’s efforts haven’t sunk global efforts to fight climate change – instead, new leaders are stepping up and working together, even within the US.
Sports face a sustainability challenge: They’re under pressure to grow, but more travel means more emissions that add to rising global temperatures. The NCAA is also weighing expanding March Madness.
The administration said the grants were ‘no longer consistent with EPA funding priorities.’ Spokane, which has faced deadly heat waves in eastern Washington, shows who is at risk.
The new federal law favors energy technologies that are already profitable and increase global warming over cleaner approaches that could use the investment support.
Caribou, migrating birds and many other types of wildlife rely on this expanse of wetlands and tundra. But about 5.5 million acres are being put up for oil and gas leases in March 2026.
The Trump administration is pulling back billions of dollars in industrial development money for carbon capture and storage projects. That may force industries to actually cut emissions instead.
A public health researcher explains the signs someone is developing heat exhaustion or heat stroke, and what to do.
Some technologies could rapidly cut emissions, while others do little to fight climate change. The House bill favors the latter while nixing support for the former.
As baby corals float in the currents, they can expand their species’ range. But can they get to climate refuges fast enough to survive? A new study has good news and bad.
When people reflect on how their actions shape the future, they are more likely to support solutions to present-day issues like poverty and inequality.
Low-income neighborhoods have the hardest time recovering from disasters without help. FEMA used to require cities to pay attention to them, but that’s changing.
Park and forest managers can’t rely on the past any longer to understand future risks. Fires, pests and climate change are changing the game.
Two ecologists explain why a misleading map is worse than no map at all, and how they have worked for years to track the emergences of 13-year and 17-year cicadas.
A long-time leader of California’s climate efforts explains how governors from Brazil to Indonesia have become the leading edge in fighting climate change. Several are meeting this week in Brazil.
