greenhouse gases

Earth’s string of 13 straight months with a new average heat record came to an end this past July as the natural El Nino climate pattern ebbed, the European climate agency Copernicus announced on Wednesday.

Copernicus Climate Change Service says results a ‘large and continuing shift’ in the climate

New research into the behavior of microbes in icy soils shows twice as much planet-warming carbon could be at risk of escaping into the atmosphere.

For the first time, Alberta's oil and gas industry has exceeded the province's own regulatory limit for natural gas flaring.

Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz says that holding the oil and gas sector to the promises it has made Canadians in its messaging would be "crippling." If that is true, then it suggests those promises don’t hold up to any real scrutiny.

For the 10th consecutive month, Earth in March set a new monthly record for global heat — with both air temperatures and the world’s oceans hitting an all-time high for the month, the European Union climate agency Copernicus said.

The city estimates that its wildly popular subsidies are helping to eliminate 170,000 vehicle miles travelled per week.

Joanna Depledge said Kerry will be remembered as “a force for good in the negotiations,” turning the page on low points, such as previous U.S. administrations pulling out — twice — from international climate agreements.

The federal government committed to planting two billion trees across the country to restore natural habitats and fight climate change, and now Quebec wants to harvest some of them.

According to a new report, plastic bag bans can eliminate nearly 300 single-use plastic bags per person per year.

Of all the world’s crops, only 55 per cent of crop calories go directly toward people. The rest are allocated to biofuels or animal feed.

The popular narrative suggests that tackling methane emissions is the “low-hanging fruit” in the climate-solutions toolbox. The belief that turning off the taps on this “super-pollutant” could “buy us time” to address the climate crisis is widespread, shared by politicians, journalists, and even some scientists.

Merchants of false hope acknowledge the link between animal agriculture and climate change, yet firmly resist the call to reduce meat production and consumption.

Amidst record-high temperatures, deluges, droughts and wildfires, leaders are convening for another round of United Nations climate talks later this month that seek to curb the centuries-long trend of humans spewing ever more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

My analysis of data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a staggering revelation — more than 150 monthly temperature records have been broken across Canada this year.
