Greenhouse gas emissions are at an all-time high, with yearly emissions equivalent to 54 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide.
A new study finds that Arctic sea ice could disappear in the summers as early as the 2030s, a decade earlier than previously thought
Secretly held documents from the two most prominent manufacturers of 'forever chemicals' show that industry leaders knew of the harmful health effects of some per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) long before they told the public.
In a recent study, more than 40 international scientists assessed the planet’s capacity to provide a safe future. What they concluded is that Earth would fail in 7 of the 8 boundaries for a safe planet.
One year in the next five will almost certainly be the hottest on record and there's a two-in-three chance a single year will cross the crucial 1.5 °C global warming threshold.
A study published in April found the heat in the climate system was accelerating, spelling bad news for the oceans. It found the rate of change in how much heat the Earth has accumulated has more than doubled over the last two decades.
The advent of an artificial intelligence news anchor marks a milestone in Indian journalism. Not only has it raised eyebrows, it's also sparked discussions about whether India has entered a new era of news broadcasting.
The UK research shows that unprecedented heat extremes combined with socioeconomic vulnerability puts certain regions, such as Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, and Central America,most in peril.
Mounting evidence is pointing to the world having entered a sixth mass extinction. If the current rate of extinction continues we could lose most species by 2200.
Since 1993, the seas rose by a total of 9.1 centimeters. Two years ago, it went up by 0.27 centimeters. That one-year rise from 2021 to 2022 may sound small by comparison, but it's a harbinger.
More than 1,000 artificial intelligence experts have joined a call for an immediate pause on the creation of “giant” AIs for at least six months, so the capabilities and dangers of systems such as GPT-4 can be properly studied and mitigated.
Releasing 1000 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere will cause the southern portion of the ice sheet to melt. If it melts entirely, global sea level would rise about 7 meters. We've emitted about 500 gigatons of carbon already.
The mass fish death is the latest illustration of how climate change is combining with mismanagement to blight Australia’s fragile environment.
Almost no area of land on Earth has levels of air pollution deemed safe by the World Health Organisation, a new study has found.
Plastic pollution in the world's oceans has reached "unprecedented levels" over the past 15 years, a new study has found, calling for a legally binding international treaty to stop the harmful waste.
