Nord Stream methane leaks are ‘world’s worst’ – what does it mean for climate change?
The Nord Stream gas pipeline leaks may be the world’s worst single methane release. What does it mean for climate change?
Climate change is making hurricanes stronger. But it's unclear if it's resulting in more of them
Researchers now expect more and more hurricanes to become major storms as climate change increases the upper limit on hurricane strength and rain rate.
Ocean eddies play a key role in replenishing ocean nutrients. Here's how
Small ocean eddies move important nutrients around oceans and help keep marine life healthy. This could also help sustain carbon storage in subtropical oceans.
Scaling small technologies can hasten our climate action
Small but scalable climate solutions are providing new opportunities to cut carbon footprints. But policy and technology shifts will still be required.
Global 'stilling': Is climate change slowing down the wind?
Much of Europe faced a 'wind drought' last year, with wind speeds falling 15%. Wind-energy droughts create a need for new strategies for energy storage.
Why ocean depth is key for how warming will affect marine life
Marine temperatures are rising because of climate change and are likely to exceed safe thresholds more quickly in deeper waters, according to a new study.
What is hurricane storm surge, and why can it be so catastrophic?
Storm surges occur when a hurricane meets the coast and pushes large amounts of water ashore. Here are the main factors that contribute to their severity.
What is ‘dark data’ and how is it adding to all of our carbon footprints?
'Dark data' is single-use digital data – things we put in the cloud and never access again. Storing this on servers is boosting greenhouse gas emissions.
3 reasons why the future of carbon capture looks promising
Carbon capture could help deliver net-zero targets but it requires industry engagement, government support and innovative supply chain solutions to work.
Air pollution: The lawsuits that are holding governments to account
A string of lawsuits look to force governments to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and stay within Paris Agreement commitments
What To Know: Wet-Bulb Temperature
Heat impacts the human body much more than dry air temperature. The wet-bulb temperature, or the WBT, measures heat and humidity. A healthy person can withstand a wet-bulb temperature of ...
Solar Tower Fuel Plant Could Be The Future Of Decarbonizing Aviation
The solar tower, developed at ETH Zürich, could help reduce emissions from aviation. It turns air and sunlight into carbon-neutral jet fuel with the help of its 169 reflecting panels. If ...
