In winter 2023-24, the Great Lakes’ ice cover was near record lows, peaking at just 16%. Researchers explain how diminishing ice could have consequences for fisheries, and how species are evolving.
Sea cucumbers have been overharvested for centuries. At the same time, coral reefs have declined as well. Research suggests that saving the former may help restore the latter.
Dutton on Tuesday reaffirmed the opposition was committed to the net zero by 2050 target but said they would only announce its medium term emission reduction targets after the next election.
Significant diplomatic and economic repercussions would result from Australia watering down our 2030 targets.
Around the world, coral reefs are suffering. But scientists in high-income nations are developing new ways to build coral resilience. We have a duty to share our skills and build capacity elsewhere.
A sense of powerlessness is preventing farmers from adapting to climate change.
Even among millennials climate change was only the fourth most important issue.
Global ocean temperatures have been at record highs almost daily for over a year, and economies are feeling the heat.
In variable environments, like temperate woodlands, species are not equally at risk.
Fossil fuel ad bans are gaining traction overseas, but New Zealand has so far shown few signs of wanting to be at the forefront of the movement.
Rapidly reaching net-zero is vital to avoiding the worst ravages of climate change. But doing so in a way that damages nature is self-defeating.
Australia is likely to have a new environmental data agency. Here’s what it’s for – and why we need it.
Trees are supposed to grow faster as a result of increased CO₂ in the atmosphere - but this research suggests there are many exceptions to the rule.
Clive Hamilton, who is Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University, joined us to talk about what Australia can do to not only survive a hotter world.
Women play a critical role in fieldwork in the Arctic and Antarctica, but the vast majority of them report negative experiences while undertaking this research. Here’s how we can fix the problem.
Environmentalists have long been sceptical of carbon capture and storage, which began in the oil and gas industry. But there’s nothing else like it for storing emissions from industry.
2024 is shaping up to be a record year for heat – and national elections.
A risk expert explains how to read the heat index and interpret extreme heat warnings, and how to stay safe.
Hardening electric transmission systems and monitoring ocean temperatures are two key priorities.
