A major government assessment lays out both the far-reaching perils of global warming and the cost-effective fixes that are available today.

New mixtures store carbon dioxide while reducing emissions

We won’t run out of key ingredients for climate action, but mining comes with social and environmental ramifications.

Scientists used satellite measurements of carbon dioxide to detect small atmospheric reductions over areas under coronavirus lockdowns. The approach could help track emissions more

The emissions and methane leaks from new gas plants zero out the CO2 cuts achieved from closing coal plants, a peer-reviewed analysis found.

Coal plant upgrades led to a dramatic reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions. But those particles also help reflect solar heat away from the planet.

The Fukushima disaster sparked a worldwide phaseout of nuclear reactors. As climate change worsens, it may be time to reconsider.
