Smoke emitting from Canadian wildfires has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and is now drifting across western Europe as Canada marks its worst wildfire season on record.

High above the Las Vegas Strip, solar panels blanketed the roof of Mandalay Bay Convention Center — 26,000 of them, rippling across an area larger than 20 football fields. From this vantage point, the sun-dappled Mandalay Bay and Delano hotels dominated the horizon, emerging like comically large golden scepters from the glittering black panels. Snow-tipped mountains rose to the west.

Himalayan glaciers providing critical water to nearly two billion people are melting faster than ever before due to climate change, exposing communities to unpredictable and costly disasters, scientists…

Taxing world’s wealthiest people could help poorer countries shift economies to low-carbon and recover from climate damage

European lawmakers issued a stark warning about the region’s growing water crisis ahead of another extreme summer, saying there is a pressing need to tackle issues such as scarcity, food security and pollution.

Mica, aged 15, learned about climate change at the young age of four, when his parents showed him the documentary Chasing Ice. “I understood it more than my parents thought I would,” he testified in a groundbreaking trial on Tuesday. “I just knew something bad was happening, but I didn’t know exactly what it was.”

As the climate crisis worsens, so does pressure on wildlife. The number of birds in North America has declined by 3 billion in the last 50 years.

Sixteen young people who say the state isn’t doing enough to address climate change will get their day in court Monday. The lawsuit argues that lack of action violates plaintiffs’ rights under the state Constitution. This is the first youth climate lawsuit to ever make it all the way to trial in the U.S.

While headlines this week in the United States focused on historic levels of air pollution in major East Coast cities like New York and Philadelphia—which have not experienced air quality conditions this poor since the Clean Air Act was passed in 1970—in Canada, it was the unprecedented wildfires themselves that remained the primary worry.

Wildfires are just one example of our governments’ collective failure to face down massive systemic challenges.

Don’t go outside. That’s what public health officials and medical experts have been advising tens of millions of people in the U.S. over the last couple of days as smoke from raging wildfires in Canada has drifted into the U.S., triggering air alerts and grounding flights across the Northeast, as far south as South Carolina and as far west as Minnesota.

Several significant landslides associated with rapid snowmelt in western North America in May 2023, driven by exceptional temperatures.

A 75 percent reduction is needed to limit warming to 1.5 C, new report says.

Richard Revesz is changing the way the government calculates the cost and benefits of regulation, with far-reaching implications for climate change.

New book details how New York could rid the city of rats and create more parks if it repurposed its 3m parking spots

The Big Apple is subsiding under its own weight. But other coastal cities are also dramatically descending, just as seas are rising.

Air travel between Paris and regional hubs such as Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux will now be banned.

There’s a 66% chance that the annual global average temperature will hit 1.5 ºC above pre-industrial temperatures at some time in the next five years, according to a World Meteorological Organization report released on 17 May. Reaching 1.5 ºC of warming in a single year will be a landmark moment for the planet, which in 2022 was about 1.15 ºC warmer than in pre-industrial times.

If a multiday blackout in Phoenix coincided with a heat wave, nearly half the population would require emergency department care for heat stroke or other heat-related illnesses, a new study suggests. While Phoenix was the most extreme example, the study warned that other cities are also at risk. Since 2015, the number of major blackouts nationwide has more than doubled.
