Seasons are more than just divisions of time – they are our connection with nature.

The Global North’s failure to take responsibility for the social impacts of climate change is a grave injustice.
The answer will determine how hot the planet gets this century.
With new temperature records being broken year-on-year, it may seem tempting to assume that the world will only get warmer. This is a false assumption, as warming is occurring, but it can be stopped.
The global average temperature could continue to hover around 1.5°C for several years.
Record heat, storms and floods reveal new extremes made possible by climate change.
When extreme heat arrives, people can seek safety in air-conditioned buildings. Are wild animals doomed?
The Great Barrier Reef is facing its worst summer of sustained heat stress since the mass bleaching event of 1998, but now with less time to recover amid repeated brutal conditions.
Last year was the hottest in recorded history. That heat led to a range of unusually intense weather events across Australia.
As global warming accelerates, a new study indicates that new trading patterns could develop as an adaptation strategy.
The first comprehensive assessment of trends in Southern Ocean ecosystems reveals an urgent need to address climate change. The summary for policymakers can guide decision-makers.
On top of rising greenhouse gas emissions, aerosol pollution which would normally cool Earth has fallen.
Over the past three years, Earth’s climate system has accumulated an average of 11 Hiroshima bombs’ worth of excess energy per second. And it’s showing in the current surge in ocean temperature.
Our oceans have absorbed almost all the extra heat we’ve trapped with our emissions. Now we know how this heat moves in ocean currents.
One of the most famous stats in the climate debate is the 97% of scientists who endorse the consensus on human-induced global heating. Ahead of the Glasgow summit, that figure has climbed even higher.
A new analysis, using 15 years of autonomous underwater measurements and simulations from the latest global climate models, refined our estimate of future ocean warming and sea level rise.
Modern agriculture releases lots of different greenhouse gas emissions, each with complex effects on the global climate.
We studied a rocky shore to see how global changes are playing out within habitats.
For decades Australian scientists have, clearly and respectfully, warned about the risks to Australia of a rapidly heating climate. After this season’s fires, perhaps it’s time to listen.
New research shows even brief hot spells can damage seed quality.
