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»
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»
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»

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»
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»
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»
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»
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»
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»
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»
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»
Novozymes, a biotechnology company that does everything from building better biofuels to removing trans fats in foods, has figured out how to sustainably transport large amounts of live fish across long distances. (Hint: Microorganisms sure help.) READ»
If we continue to burn coal, oil, and gas until resource depletion forces the switch later on, our emissions will drag the Earth back into a primeval super-warm state. But that doesn't have to happen.READ»
