Did you know car companies pollute more than Big Oil? See how “Big Auto” has been wildly undercounting their emissions.

Solar power is useful for our transition to a more sustainable future but how can we make sure to build more without harming nature? Turns out prime habitat for wildlife is also the prime location for solar panels.

Greenland’s melting ice sheets are now growing plant life. But methane-producing wetlands are replacing glaciers, and helping to melt them further.

Landfills are super emitters of methane, a gas that is 86x more heat trapping than C02. Where are these sites, and is there one near you?

Farmers on the frontlines of climate are trying to figure out how much carbon they can actually store in their soil. But “climate smart” farm practices need help from the Farm Bill first.

A new NASA satellite mission to study ocean health, air quality, and the effects of a changing climate launched successfully into orbit last week.

One in five migratory species tracked by the United Nations are at risk of extinction. The solution to this major issue means conquering another one… climate change.

Scientists have found evidence that the complex circulatory system in the ocean is destabilizing, and could collapse from our current planetary warming. One thing is clear — this could change everything.

Thanks to climate action, the EPA has strengthened regulations on soot, a deadly air pollutant particle. Soot has been linked to premature death, so the decision is expected to save thousands of lives.

Attacking climate scientists doesn’t refute their work, but it can lose you a defamation lawsuit. Scientist Michael Mann has been awarded more than $1 million in damages against two writers who attacked his work a decade ago.

For the first time this year will wind and solar overtake the coal industry in China. Renewables are here to stay.

A Dutch pension fund has divested its holdings in European oil and gas companies. The fund has sold holdings in more than 300 companies, saying they were not moving fast enough to reduce emissions.

Browsing the internet for long hours has done some good. Ecosia, a search engine that plants a tree every time it is used, has reached a milestone of 200 million trees planted.

A new study says Puerto Rico, which currently gets nearly all of its power from fossil fuels on an outdated energy grid, has more than tenfold the renewable energy potential required to meet its energy needs by 2050.

The EU aims to slash its net greenhouse gas pollution by 90% over the next 15 years as part of its push to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent. How do they plan to do it?

Most people don’t know they are smearing cancer-causing forever chemicals all over their faces. But New Zealand is the first country to ban PFAs from cosmetic products. Makes you feel fresh all over.
