Heat extremes in southern Africa might continue even if net-zero emissions are achieved

Human emissions of greenhouse gases have caused rapid global warming. This has made high-impact, heat extreme events around the globe more and more intense over the past 70 years. Heat extremes, such as heatwaves, can cause severe damage to infrastructure by damaging bridges and railways. They also harm ecosystems, and…

Scientists scorn EPA push to say climate change isn't a danger, say just look around at the world

As President Donald Trump's administration looks to reverse a cornerstone finding that climate change endangers human health and welfare, scientists say they need to look around because it’s obvious how bad global warming is and how its getting worse

Geoengineering is politically off-limits – could a Trump presidency change that?

Donald Trump’s second presidential term is likely to mean big changes for those of us interested in geoengineering. The term refers to deliberate large-scale manipulation of the climate, perhaps by blocking out some sunlight or directly removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Sometimes called climate engineering, we prefer the term…

Carbon capture in Mediterranean soil: how farmland can trap greenhouse gases

Imagine if we could find a way to capture the greenhouse gases that are warming our planet. One way to do this is carbon farming, a practice that has great potential as a green business model, especially in countries with a Mediterranean climate.
