Scientists have analysed almost 30 years of data to discover how whales in the North Atlantic Ocean are learning to co-exist in a warming world. Rising temperatures and increased human activity in the North Atlantic Ocean have triggered “abrupt changes” in marine ecosystems, particularly for whales. A new study published in Frontiers in Marine Science has examined […]
Scientists are raising new concerns after a study found that microplastics are interfering with the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide, a process that plays a vital role in regulating Earth’s temperature. Microplastics are tiny plastic particles measuring less than five millimeters. Over time, they have spread across nearly every part of the planet. Researchers […]
Eco anxiety is very real, so we share this year’s most uplifting stories to prove there’s hope for our climate. With powerful nations rolling back climate protections and temperatures soaring ever closer to dangerous thresholds, it’s hard not to feel worried about the state of the planet. As green journalists, climate anxiety, climate doom and […]
The UK and EU both have ambitious targets for planting new trees to help meet climate targets. But how much progress has actually been made? Planting new trees now could be the key to offsetting heat-trapping gases from the atmosphere – and reducing flood risks from climate-fuelled extreme weather. It’s made the creation of woodland a […]
Gulf residents have been told the climate will not only become hotter but also more humid, with a newly released report revealing that last year was the third-hottest year yet worldwide. The Global Climate Highlights 2025 report said that the past three years have been the hottest on record – and that the world is close to breaching […]
Scientists warn that our understanding and perception of climate-fuelled risks are “limited and flawed”. Most people believe that climate change affects others more than themselves, as scientists warn that our “psychological bias” may be hindering efforts to curb global warming. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden recently analysed 83 studies involving more than 70,000 people […]
US President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the US from a pivotal global climate treaty could create major funding gaps and open the door for other countries, such as China, to assume more leadership, experts have said. The Trump administration on Wednesday announced it would withdraw from dozens of international organisations, including scores of UN bodies. US Secretary of State […]
An ice dome the size of Luxembourg melted around 7,000 years ago. Is history about to repeat itself? Scientists warn that it is “only a matter of time” until Greenland’s Prudhoe Dome starts to melt away – as heat-trapping emissions continue to bake the planet. The huge 500 metre thick ice cap is roughly the same […]
Overfishing and global warming are depleting food from our oceans, but rebuilding reef life could help provide millions of meals every year. Coral reefs could become a crucial part of the pathway to help fight global hunger and improve nutrition around the world. According to UNICEF data, around 2.3 billion people experienced moderate or severe […]
Starting with one habit you’ll actually keep can make a difference for your budget, your routine and the climate. Here’s some good news as the holidays wrap up: Many New Year’s resolutions people already make – eating healthier, saving money, getting organised – double as climate-friendly habits. Whether you want to spend less, declutter or […]
