On 26 March, the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) announced the release of its latest report on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the findings are worrying, to say the least.
From the beginning of the industrial revolution to the mid-1990s, the ocean absorbed around one-third of man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, according to a new study published on 15 March
If greenhouse gases continue to rise at current rates, at least 50 per cent of the global population will be exposed to two particularly dangerous disease-spreading mosquitoes — Aedes aegypti
Technology is making agriculture more efficient, however, technological advances may not be enough to counteract the impacts of an increasing global population on the environment. Rapid population growth and more
Scientists have developed a new way to capture and store carbon. The negative emission technology uses a liquid-metal electrocatalyst to transforms carbon dioxide gas into carbon-containing solids at room temperature.
A new study suggests that at certain carbon dioxide (CO2) levels the Earth could reach a tipping point at which dense low-lying cooling cloud layers could become unstable and break
According to the 2018 annual Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) report released on 19 February, the majority of European firms recognise climate-related risks but over half do not have greenhouse gas
Dams are frequently criticised for their environmental impact. But are they all bad? A new commentary published on 19 February in Nature argues, “dams that are well planned, constructed and
Protesters led by Extinction Rebellion disrupted the third day of London Fashion Week, Sunday 17 February, to challenge a fashion industry which they believe is promoting so-called “fast fashion” characterised
