A new study published on 1 April in Nature Sustainability estimates that air pollution from corn production results in 4,300 premature deaths annually in the United States (1). By performing

Damage to the Great Barrier Reef due to global warming has compromised the capacity of corals to recover, according to scientists. New research published on 3 April in Nature shows
Deforestation emissions make up one-sixth of the carbon footprint of the average EU diet, according to a new study published on 29 March in Global Environmental Change, a peer-reviewed journal
The intensity of biodiversity and ecosystem changes owing to land use may largely depend on climate. In particular, the climatic environments of tropical mountains change dramatically with elevation, which the
For the last few months, political ecology has been hitting the headlines more and more. Parties and NGOs are competing to bring out ever more imaginative programmes calling for increasingly
Climate-induced changes in rainfall will affect staple crops even if greenhouse gas emissions are radically reduced to meet targets set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement, according to a new
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
The idea of replacing petroleum products with alternative fuels produced from agriculture dates back to the 1973 and 1979 oil crises. But apart from the development of bioethanol from cane
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
