Research suggests this fishing practice releases up to 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year.

Carbon dioxide and methane emissions from the world’s biggest fossil fuel producers have likely caused trillions of dollars in economic damages due to intensifying heatwaves over the last 30 years, according to new peer-reviewed research.

The top five emitters – Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia), Gazprom (Russia), Chevron (US), ExxonMobil (US), and BP (British), respectively – are responsible for about $9 trillion in heat-related damages, according to the study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Despite health warnings about PFAs, pathogens, and insurance fallout, Oklahoma continues spreading human waste on thousands of acres of farmland.

A new report from the American Lung Association notes a drastic decline in air quality and raises health alarms. Climate change and Trump administration actions, experts warn, will worsen the trend.

Hydrogen has long been hyped as the “Swiss army knife” of the energy transition, but today – despite billions in investment – it largely remains limited to niche industrial applications.

In a new review article, published in Nature Reviews Clean Technology, we look at where hydrogen could plausibly become competitive – and the applications where it is unlikely to ever be a viable solution.

For each use case, the review looks at the cost and carbon emissions of using hydrogen relative to alternative solutions, identifying the barriers which stand in the way of uptake.

For example, high-profile applications, such as home heating and fuelling cars, are still widely promoted, but are failing to take off.

Fundamentally, this is because hydrogen is an inefficient and costly option in these cases, with Ferraris globally outselling all makes of hydrogen fuel-cell cars combined.

Finally, the review looks at the current state of government hydrogen policy around the world, plus the ways that its potential could be maximised in the future.

Criminalizing the protection of water, not its degradation, is a sign of things to come—but Water Protectors are here to stay

The decline of the island’s ice and increasingly volatile weather have made it hard to maintain some Indigenous traditions. The effects of those changes and other impacts of the climate crisis on mental health can be harder to see.
