Geoengineering is politically off-limits – could a Trump presidency change that?

Donald Trump’s second presidential term is likely to mean big changes for those of us interested in geoengineering. The term refers to deliberate large-scale manipulation of the climate, perhaps by blocking out some sunlight or directly removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Sometimes called climate engineering, we prefer the term…

Carbon capture in Mediterranean soil: how farmland can trap greenhouse gases

Imagine if we could find a way to capture the greenhouse gases that are warming our planet. One way to do this is carbon farming, a practice that has great potential as a green business model, especially in countries with a Mediterranean climate.

Why has this marine research institute made the ocean a member of its board? Expert Q&A

The ocean absorbs more than 90% of the atmosphere’s excess heat trapped by human-emitted greenhouse gases. It plays a vital role in mitigating the climate crisis and our health relies on that of the ocean. But often, it is simply considered a place to extract useful resources such as food…

Climate information is useful at local level if people get it in good time: how African countries can build systems to share it

African countries collectively have emitted very little of the greenhouse gases that have caused climate change, but are badly affected by climate-induced floods, droughts and heatwaves. To withstand some of the most devastating extreme weather events, African countries need to adapt fast. Setting up advanced climate information services that predict…

Quick climate dictionary: what actually is a carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by something. That might be a person’s lifestyle, a product’s supply chain, an organisation, or an activity. Everything from a banana to a ship has a carbon footprint.

Warming oceans are changing marine habitats – study explores the impact on thousands of species

Every year, human activities release billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the Sun, making the Earth warmer than it would be without them. Over 90% of the extra heat from greenhouse gases gets absorbed by the ocean, driving marine temperatures to alarmingly…
