The world can limit global warming to 1.5℃ and move to 100% renewable energy while still preserving a role for the gas industry, and without relying on technological fixes such as carbon capture and storage, according to our new analysis.
In Australia, renewable energy is growing at a per capita rate ten times faster than the world average. Between 2018 and 2020, Australia will install more than 16 gigawatts of wind and solar, an average rate of 220 watts per person per year.

Materialism may influence us to choose “green buying” rather than not buying anything at all, research finds.
While US President Donald Trump may be “the world’s most powerful climate change denier”, our latest research suggests a thriving green economy.
New Zealand’s government released a plan to reverse the decline of iconic lakes and rivers. It proposes higher standards for water quality, interim controls on land intensification and a higher bar on ecosystem health.
Science is clearly showing that the world is shifting towards a more unstable climate. Weather events like the flash floods in Sydney last week will be more frequent and extreme, while the intervals between them will become shorter.

For every tonne of rice produced, about a tonne of straw is grown. Given 770m tonnes of rice are produced each year, that’s a lot of straw.
As renewable energy sources move mainstream, electricity generation and distribution systems are getting an extreme makeover
As we recklessly warm the planet by pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, some industrial emissions also produce particles that reflect sunshine back into space, putting a check on global warming that we're only starting to understand.
Countries across the globe are trying to wind down coal production. While this will help in the battle against climate change, those communities that have specialised in coal mining may see their local job market decline or be eliminated entirely.
One reason why people find it difficult to think about climate change and the future may be their understanding of human history.
