The UK government issues heat alerts when temperatures spiral, but research suggests many people do not change their behaviour.
The good news is degraded soil can regain some of its lost heat protection. We can help ‘re-insulate’ the ground with practical farming methods.
Removing the worst-case climate future for Earth isn’t failed science, as climate sceptic Donald Trump claims. It’s a sign climate action has made a difference.
Our study looked at 36.6 million summer births.
Salmon have faced a boom-bust cycle for years. Making their recovery last longer will require some big changes, including how hatcheries produce fish.
Even though annual precipitation is rising nationally, the landscape is drying out more rapidly. That’s changing the water cycle.
As climate crises deepen, Africa must turn its hard-won experience and local knowledge into global leadership on climate, health, food systems and clean energy.
The Global Ocean Observing System informs weather forecasts and climate projections. But funding pressures could create data gaps leaving the world blind.
Across the 19th and 20th centuries, urban residents developed a range of strategies to manage extreme heat in densely built environments.
Changes in ways of farming are part of the reason why wildfires are more likely this summer, even in traditionally colder climates.
There are ways to reduce emissions without sacrificing yield. A new study shows how, and looks at a technique billed as ‘climate-friendly’ that makes emissions worse.
Heatwaves, wildfires, floods and airport disruption can quickly turn a holiday into a financial loss.
New research shows seals are being affected by chemical pollution in the Arctic food web and rapid climate-driven warming that is transforming their sea ice habitat.
Calls for the Supreme Court to give fossil fuel companies immunity from liability for climate-related damage misreads the Constitution, precedent and the role of courts.
As temperatures soar past 46°C in India, an extreme heatwave is filling hospitals. But harm to women occurs in ways health statistics don’t show.
Decisions to migrate in response to climate stress are rarely personal choices and there’s such a huge diversity of household migration patterns.
Geothermal power used to be limited to volcanic areas. But advances in exploration and drilling technology mean huge new areas can be tapped.
Weak surveillance and climate change could allow deadly hantaviruses to spread unnoticed across African countries, raising the risk of future outbreaks.
Indonesia has a long history of managing floods with canals and other infrastructure. But there are fears the massive project will worsen existing ecological damage.
