If fossil fuel companies misled the public about the dangers of their products, should they be required to pay for damages from climate-related disasters?
For decades, we couldn’t trace the link between new fossil fuel projects and their damage to people and planet. But now we can.
Any additional emissions from a UK gasfield are incompatible with climate targets.
Industrial renewal coupled with social reforms could support a green transition away from carbon-intensive industries while narrowing social inequalities.
Global warming is set to surpass the 1.5°C limit if governments worldwide fail to act.
Are the federal government’s draft gas reservation laws really a backdown? No – the changes are sensible.
Gas is now flowing from the vast – and controversial – fossil fuel project.
It’s no longer possible to hold climate change to 1.5°C. But it’s not game over – it’s game on.
The federal government has softened its initial renewables-only stance.
Green hydrogen production is, in effect, a way of bottling renewable energy.
Instead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.
The battery boom is accelerating Australia’s shift away from gas.
Australian scientists are exploring ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere – using our oceans.
Gas companies have withdrawn support for the government’s gas reservation policy. But their main critique doesn’t stack up.
Could we be thinking the wrong way about surging energy demand from data centres in Australia?
Economic interests have shaped society’s response to pollution. Now, policy needs to align with the scientific evidence to clean up our air.
As people across Europe are having to acclimatise to an unprecedented heatwave, coordinated responses for tackling extreme heat need to come from the top, and there’s no time to lose.
Africa is rapidly expanding electricity generation, but new research shows energy planning must also account for water scarcity and carbon dioxide emissions.
This historic case could establish a legal link between human rights and fossil fuel exports.
