Researchers have pinpointed climate change as a critical factor that is likely to exacerbate inflation worldwide.
New oceanic research provides clear evidence of a human "fingerprint" on climate change and shows that specific signals from human activities have altered the seasonal cycle amplitude of sea surface temperatures (SST).
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 […]
A team of chemistry researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has developed a unique approach to harnessing the sun's energy to produce hydrogen gas, a potential clean energy source, from water, according to a paper published in Nature Chemistry.
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.
Farmers rely on pesticides to control agricultural pests. But insects often develop resistance to the toxins in pesticides. University of Maryland researchers have developed and successfully tested a strategy for using genomics to monitor for and identify emerging resistance to specific toxins early, well before it becomes a widespread problem. The work will enable farmers to mitigate resistance and prolong the effectiveness of pest management tools.
