The iceberg that was once the largest in the world has melted into several small fragments that are no longer worth tracking. A68 weighed billions of tons and was bigger than the size of Norfolk when it broke away from the Larsen C ice shelf in the Weddell Sea on the edge of the Antarctic Peninsula in mid-2017.

Forests cover 70% of the country, but many argue the Swedish model of replacing old-growth forests with monoculture plantations is bad for biodiversity...

Google Earth's latest update brings a time-lapse feature to specific locations on Earth that allows users to view the way areas have changed from 1985 to 2020.

Pristine areas in the Amazon and Siberia may expand with animal reintroductions, scientists say

Apple today announced a first-of-its-kind carbon removal initiative — called the Restore Fund — that will make investments in forestry projects to remove carbon from the atmosphere while generating a financial return for investors. Launched with Conservation International and Goldman Sachs, Apple’s $200 million fund aims to remove at least 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from the atmosphere, equivalent to the amount of fuel used by over 200,000 passenger vehicles, while demonstrating a viable financial model that can help scale up investment in forest restoration.

Scientists have devised a new way of looking at habitat loss on Earth, finding that 97 percent of Earth's land area may no longer be ecologically intact.

If you find yourself in some secluded spot in the American West—maybe Yellowstone, or the deserts of Utah, or the forests of Oregon—take a deep breath and get some fresh air along with some microplastic. According to new modeling, 1,100 tons of it is currently floating above the western US. The stuff is falling out of the sky, tainting the most remote corners of North America—and the world. As I’ve said before, plastic rain is the new acid rain.

To commemorate Earth Day on 22 April, AZoCleantech is taking a closer look at deforestation and exploring drone reforestation technology with real, scalable potential to help Earth recover from the harmful effects of climate change.

Award-winning author Eduardo Gonçalves shows killing for fun isn't conservation.

La Soufrière on the island of St. Vincent, which last erupted in 1979, has a long and tragic history of powerful but mercurial blasts.

Because the COVID-19 pandemic caused a massive economic slowdown, experts had hoped that the decline in transportation and manufacturing might slow greenhouse gas emissions at least a little. Unfortunately, a new report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reveals that one of the major gases behind climate change has reached its highest level in 3.6 million years.

Every fall more than half of the coho salmon that return to Puget Sound’s urban streams die before they can spawn. In some streams, all of them die. But scientists didn’t know why.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday called climate change “an existential threat” and the biggest emerging risk to the health of the U.S. financial system, pledging to marshal regulatory forces to guard against its harmful effects.

A growing number of climate economists say the world should take “immediate and drastic action” to tackle climate change, according to a survey published Tuesday.

In 2006, I published a book called Better Never to Have Been. I argued that coming into existence is always a serious harm. People should never, under any circumstance, procreate – a position called ‘anti-natalism’. In response, readers wrote letters of appreciation, support and, of course, there was outrage. But I also got this message, which is the most wrenching feedback I have received...

The United States climate tsar John Kerry has told a conference that coal use must be immediately abandoned if the world is to have any chance of meeting Paris agreement targets.

AI-controlled vertical farm produces 400 times more food per acre than a flat farm, National Geographic recently predicted that by 2050, there would be more than two billion additional mouths to feed By 2050.

Our summers are already about 20% longer than they used to be, and if the climate crisis continues unabated then northern hemisphere summers could cover nearly half of the year by 2100, making them more than twice as long as they were in the 1950s. And unlike their counterparts of the 1950s, future summers will be more extreme, with heatwaves and wildfires more likely.

Fake news on social media about climate change and biodiversity loss is having a worrying impact in the battle to halt the growing environmental threats to the planet, a group of scientists and analysts have warned.

Consider a simple thought experiment. Imagine that by the end of this century, everyone in the world will use energy at the same rate per person that a typical American does today: a steady stream of 9.5 kilowatts (kW), averaged over the year. That’s roughly the power consumed by 18 electric-stove burners running nonstop on high, all day, every day.
