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.

From Bangkok to Brisbane, researchers were among those who protested to urge action on global warming.
Six whistleblowers and ex-government scientists describe how the Trump administration made them bury climate science - and why they won't stay quiet.
Researchers should learn to travel better to mitigate their climate impacts. Institutions can help by facilitating and rewarding sustainable travel behaviour, rather than fuelling the pressure to attend conferences, say Olivier Hamant, Timothy Saunders and Virgile Viasnoff.
