Struggle to wrap your head around daylight savings? Spare a thought for the world's timekeepers, who are trying to work out how climate change is affecting Earth's rotation—and in turn, how we keep track of time.
You’re not alone when it comes to understanding the language of climate change and what different words and phrases mean. There are a lot of terms brands and companies can use that can greenwash consumers into thinking they’re making climate pledges or cutting down their emissions when they might not be. Greenwashing in itself is when brands mislead or misinform consumers into thinking they’ve got an environmentally friendly public image when they might be selling a very harmful product but use...

Climate zealots do not want solutions to the problems they claim are going to kill us all. They just want control of your everyday life, from the car you drive to the food you eat. Harvard University is no longer continuing its solar geoengineering research experiment. The gist of solar geoengineering is that spraying particles […]
Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is a global health challenge, with far-reaching implications for communities worldwide.
Images of neighborhoods devastated by natural disasters have become commonplace in recent years, but a new study finds that properties in some U.S. cities are especially imperiled.
Batteries are hot right now—like really, really hot. Long-lasting, durable, and lightweight storage devices will be an essential part of the global energy transition, yet the tendency of lithium-ion cells to catch fire and explode is only one issue with our most ubiquitous battery technology. A pile of other problems—long charging times, limited life between charges, vulnerability to heat and cold, and the risks around the supply chain of critical metals—has led investors and governments on a...
Scientists have outlined the urgent actions needed to protect Scotland's lochs from the impacts of climate change, estimating that harmful algal blooms cost the national economy at least £16.5 million a year.
Gas giant Woodside Energy has been accused of preparing to detonate a “new climate bomb” that would dwarf national efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed $50 billion project is designed to bolster the existing Pluto LNG and North West Shelf projects by creating a regional production hub on the Burrup Peninsula in the […]
Phytoplankton is the primary energy source for all marine ecosystems: These tiny plants floating in the seawater use photosynthesis to bind energy in the form of biomass, which is then passed on step by step in the marine food webs all the way to different types of fish and piscivores.
Researchers have pinpointed climate change as a critical factor that is likely to exacerbate inflation worldwide.
