Australia largely has enough off-street parking to do away with unsightly kerbside parking – and free up space for bikes, pedestrians and scooters.
The number of ozone-related premature deaths due to wildfires is also rising.
Even now, in an age of satellites and genome sequencing, the Earth still holds secrets.
Don’t panic about AI data centres and water – it’s energy we should worry about
One Nation wants to differentiate itself from the Liberals on energy at a time when the parties increasingly overlap on social issues.
Caves have long been a refuge. But climate change could pose an existential threat to cave crickets and other cave dwellers.
Three hours of free power isn’t a giveaway – it’s meant to help the grid use floods of cheap solar. To succeed, the new scheme has to be fair.
If we’re serious about reducing Australia’s emissions, we need far more renewable gases. And soon.

A bat biologist walks through the steps for persuading a bat to leave your home, and what to do when a whole family decides to roost in your attic.
These long-delayed laws took three years, a new Environment Minister and a slew of compromises to be passed.
Removing the worst-case climate future for Earth isn’t failed science, as climate sceptic Donald Trump claims. It’s a sign climate action has made a difference.
Australia could direct revenue towards electrification, not further diesel consumption.
Salmon have faced a boom-bust cycle for years. Making their recovery last longer will require some big changes, including how hatcheries produce fish.

You might know to steer clear of green potatoes and rhubarb leaves. That’s because they produce toxins that can make humans sick.
Algae species can grow remarkably fast and produce oil able to be turned into diesel or aviation fuel.
Australia’s 20 million domestic cars – and almost all heavier vehicles – will eventually be electric. We need to prepare for this.
