As the world is on track to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming, climate action must double down but also go beyond emissions cuts to prioritize adaptation, respond to loss and damage, and confront growing inequality. For decades, climate policy has been dominated by a central question: How do ...

The Southern Ocean may seem far removed from the North Pacific or the Gulf of Maine, but its waters are linked to all the world's major ocean basins through a vast circulation system.

Waste dumped into the Tijuana River can travel seven times farther than expected before becoming airborne and affecting San Diego's air, at least 20 miles (32 kilometers) from its source, according to new UC Riverside research.

White Sands Missile Range celebrated the launch of an on-site, solar-enabled microgrid last year, and the facility has already begun planning for another microgrid with solar power. The post If The US Department Of Defense Gets Solar Power, Why Can't We? appeared first on CleanTechnica.

There have been decades of regulations to make vehicles greener and improve air quality in London and Beijing, as well as a popular shift toward less polluting road transport. Now, total emissions of harmful air pollutants from vehicle exhausts are lower than those from cooking in the centers of these two megacities, a study has found.

The newly launched U.S. Forest Monitor tracks satellite imagery to document forest loss over time. By Dennis Pillion A new satellite tracking system finds that the United States has lost 350,000 acres of forest land per year-a rate of approximately one football field every two minutes-which is the equivalent of 2.3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions through the release of stored CO2 in the forests and lost potential carbon storage.

Researchers recently spotted the brightly colored Ghana cuckooshrike in Côte d'Ivoire's Taï National Park. The "lost" bird hadn't been seen in 13 years, reports Mongabay's John Cannon. Stephanie Bartlett, a field research fellow with the International Bird Conservation Partnership (IBCP), took a photo of the cuckooshrike while Paulo Ditzel, also an IBCP research fellow, called out its movements to her. Bartlett told Mongabay she got the identifying photo of the bird first before she even saw it. "They're scared of you," Bartlett said. "You don't get to get close to . . .

BYD wasted no time, with sales of its new flagship electric sedan reaching 4,000 in just 19 days since its launch. more . . .

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events.

About 20,000 years ago, an enormous, floating ice shelf more than a mile thick helped lock in three of the largest ice sheets in northern Canada and Greenland.

The method is 140 years old, and it is time to modernize in order to reduce climate emissions.

Cornell researchers, working with upstate New York battery company Charge CCCV, also known as C4V, have developed a real-time diagnostic approach to drastically improve one of the most expensive and time-consuming stages of lithium-ion battery manufacturing: forming the battery.

Removing harmful chemicals from contaminated water is only one step toward their elimination. Once collected in filtration materials, these chemicals must still be destroyed and detoxified to prevent contamination from moving into another waste stream.

A global accounting puts the value of ecosystem services that could be lost to sea level rise at well over 100 billion in 2020 international dollars (Int$2020) per year by 2100, according to a study-and the nations that are likely to lose the most are not the highest emitters.
