How much CO2 went into the ice cream you’re eating? If you’re eating out of this bowl, you’ll know exactly. It might even make you want to change your diet.READ MORE›
What if we could transmute pollution into a harmless--even helpful--substance that won’t destroy the planet? The science of carbon capture aims to do just that.READ MORE›
Don’t hold your breath, but as the air fills with more carbon dioxide, it might mean that breathing creates a chemical reaction that makes you want to eat more. And more. And even more.READ MORE›
It certainly doesn't seem like anyone in charge has any ideas about how to stop climate change, so let's open it up to everyone. A crowdsourcing project from MIT has found the best solutions from the rest of us--like personal rapid ...READ MORE›
After years and years of failing to address carbon emissions, scientists are urging that we at least cut some more easily managed greenhouse gasses. At this point, it may be the best we can do (and our only hope).READ MORE›
China's coal use grew 400% between 1982 and 2002, and has continued to rise. If we're going to do something about climate change, this graphic shows, China is going to need to find a new source of fuel.READ MORE›
The insane weather and changing elements are making food production more difficult. A look at what you'll be eating this week is a tour of flood, famine, and drought.READ MORE›
Power plants have a tendency to spew mercury into the air. Mercury is not something you want to be breathing, though. Where in America can you most avoid sucking down poison?READ MORE›
The state's program will be able to test the theories about whether cap-and-trade reduces pollution without destroying businesses. If it works, expect other states to quickly follow.READ MORE›
It may be responsible for the financial meltdown, but while it was writing bad mortgages, Bank of America was also doing excellent work reducing its footprint. READ MORE›
In addition to knowing your exact route and even how many calories you've burned, you can now find out the environmental impact of every public transit trip you take--and how much better it is than if you had taken a car.READ MORE›
Jamming carbon deep underground has long been a proposed solution to our emissions problems, but it's expensive and rarely used. Now we can use the Earth's heat to make that gas work for us.READ MORE›
Besides creating climate change, carbon dioxide emissions are an important measure of how healthy we are. New technology could save lives by making it easier for doctors to monitor your CO2.READ MORE›
Is hydrogen actually clean, or just clean compared to fossil fuels? Even though it mostly produces water, there are some nasty side effects no one is talking about.READ MORE›
A new case brought by teens argues that the government isn't protecting the planet for future generations. Do older climate cases give any clues about whether it will work?READ MORE›
Physically altering the planet's atmosphere to stave off climate change would be incredibly expensive--and disastrous if we ever stopped paying.READ MORE›
Timberland is being refreshingly honest about not hitting its greenhouse gas-reduction goals. "We have to fix our business process fundamentally," CEO Jeff Swartz tells us. If they can't do it, though, how can anyone?READ MORE›
Until now, most views of future temperature trends have been limited to this century. The latest research pushes past that arbitrary temporal boundary to ask what happens next.READ MORE›
