The top climate change scientist for NOAA said he has received $4 million from Congress and permission from his agency to study two emergency - and controversial - methods to cool the Earth if the U.S. and other nations fail to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
CO2-neutral synthetic fuels are technically feasible today and the best promise for decarbonizing aviation. The right policy instruments could turn promise into reality, writes ETHZ professor.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to "ensure" that the United States has the "cleanest air" and the "cleanest water," but his administration's efforts to slash environmental regulations have been extensive.
Scientists reveal how they are dealing with a profound sense of loss as the climate emergency worsens.
The world's oceans are now heating at the same rate as if five Hiroshima atomic bombs were dropped into the water every second, scientists have said.
If words make worlds, then we urgently need to tell a new story about the climate crisis. Here is one vision of what it could look and feel like to radically, collectively take action.
In a stinging rebuke of the Trump administration’s handling of science, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advisory panel has found major shortcomings in the agency’s pursuit of key regulatory rollbacks.
You've seen the news: COP25, the recent UN climate talks in Madrid, ended in disappointment and also set a record for the longest-ever COP. UCS's press release headline says it all: World's Nations Take Immoral Stance at COP25, Side with Trump, Bolsonaro Rather Than Youth Across the Globe. Here are
The 2010s have seen breakthroughs in frontiers from gene editing to gravitational waves. The coming one must focus on climate change.
The findings mark a step forward in using space technology to detect leaks of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from oil and gas sites worldwide.
Exhausted delegates postponed tricky issues. The weak rules on a market based mechanism, promoted by Brazil and Australia, that would have undermined efforts to reduce emissions have been shelved and the fight can continue next year at COP26 in Glasgow.
Around 200 environmental campaigners are barred from climate talks after Greta Thunberg speaks.
Study debunks idea that older models were inaccurate
It's a tale for all time. What might be the greatest scam in history or, at least, the one that threatens to take history down with it. Think of it as the climate-change scam that beat science, big time. Scientists have been seriously investigating the subject of human-made climate change since the late 1950s and political leaders have been discussing it for nearly as long. In 1961, Alvin Weinberg, the director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, called carbon dioxide one of the "big problems"
Europe will press ahead with a network of satellites to track carbon dioxide emissions across the globe. The enhanced capability is expected to be a potent tool in helping all nations - not just European ones - better understand their carbon footprint.
This report reveals how global research and discovery is evolving to address poverty, reduce inequality and deal with the effects of climate change via the UN SDGs.
Scientists working on the issue have often said that, once upon a time, they assumed, if they did their jobs, politicians would act upon the information. That, of course, hasn’t happened.
Few thought it would arrive so quickly. Now we're facing consequences once viewed as fringe scenarios.
The world’s people face “untold suffering due to the climate crisis” unless there are major transformations to global society, according to a stark warning from more than 11,000 scientists.
Climanosco believes that changing the language can make the debate around climate science can become more inclusive. The organisation publishes papers that have been reviewed by teams of both scientists and laypeople.
Facing unbearable heat, Qatar has begun to air-condition the outdoors"><meta name="description" content="For Qatar, global warming is an engineering problem. But while it may be able to cool outdoor malls and stadiums, it cannot cool the entire country.
Individual actions, such as ditching meat and not flying, won't make a substantial difference to our planet - and such demands divert attention away from the solutions that are needed.
