Looking to the Past to Understand the Future of Climate Change
It may seem like 2022 was such a slog it felt more like three years instead of one — something about the pandemic has warped time perception — but even so, on geological timescales, it was a blip.

On the Brink
It’s not the miracle cure many think it is. Key points Thinking fusion is a miracle for climate change could make us apathetic about the problem.

Nature at risk of ‘cascading’ species extinction: study
Climate change is one of the main drivers of species loss globally. We know more plants and animals will die as heatwaves, bushfires, droughts and other natural disasters worsen.
