History also shows that many of the fanciful engineering ideas for Greenland failed because they misjudged the island’s harsh climate and dynamic ice sheet.
Marine viruses attack cells, but the material that spills out helps fuels marine life around the world.
At the same time, Americans have been facing worsening storms, wildfires and deadly heat waves.
We already knew forests were heavy lifters in reducing climate pollution. New research reveals the tiny microbes in tree bark can also “eat” climate gases.
A major atmospheric river brought record precipitation to the Pacific Northwest, yet the snow and water supply still suffered. It’s a growing problem.
For residents in southeastern Australia this week, understanding fire safety warnings are essential to stay safe.

The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.
New research shows how identity-driven assumptions can turn common ground into conflict.
While wind and solar energy led in investments globally, liquefied natural gas is also booming. A former climate envoy for Germany explains what’s coming and the countries to watch.
Many Australian homes are like an oven in summer and a fridge in winter. New ‘smart materials’ are being developed to make houses comfortable in a changing climate.
When cities burn, plastics, electronics, cleaning chemicals and much more create a toxic brew. Studies launched during the LA fires a year ago show exposure is often strongest inside homes.
With feral horses gone, fragile alpine areas are no longer being trampled by hard hooves. But Kosciuszko’s landscapes will take decades to recover.
Choosing an area to live is tricky. But many people overlook the importance of walkable, leafy and quiet suburbs. Here’s how to check.
