A federal judge dealt one blow to the effort when he found the administration had violated the law in handpicking a panel to question climate science.
Cities swelter in heatwaves - they heat up faster and stay hotter. But Australia has few strategies to cool them. Here’s how we could shift from laggard to leader.
A run of damaging storms that has spoiled midsummer and caused floods and landslides isn’t bad luck, but a combination of local, regional and global drivers.
Canada needs to move towards a carbon-neutral economy, and the biomass sectors have a key role to play in this transition.
The atmosphere is a complicated place. Warm temperatures in one spot can contribute to brutally cold storms somewhere else.
Snow cover has declined rapidly since the 1980s, and it’s only accelerating.
Humans hunting reindeer reappeared in what is now the British Isles much earlier than previously thought.
With an average temperature of -50°C, Antarctica’s first-ever 100% natural sanctuary protects endangered ice cores from global warming.
Behind flood and bushfire disasters is a less visible influence: changes in the planet’s water cycle. Rainfall and temperature shifts are amplifying climate change.
We’re not going to be able to stop climate instability and associated dangerous wildfire weather, so we need to adapt.
Competition between the US, Russia and China is shutting out regional statkeholders and ignoring the interests of Indigenous people.
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.
Polar bears are expected to become extinct but there are some signs their DNA is changing and they are adapting to new temperatures.
Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us estimate global sea-level rise.
Any large-scale policy affecting schools, like Montréal’s ambitious transition to zero waste, needs to reflect that success relies on the labour and care of students and education workers.
Coral reefs have shaped Earth in much deeper ways than we usually appreciate.
To reduce emissions put into the atmosphere, Google is using carbon capture and sequestration. But not all CCS projects are the same.
Here’s what snow forecasters are watching, and why skiers and other snow lovers shouldn’t lose hope.
It could be a sign of what’s to come.
