A nest of invasive Asian giant hornets has been discovered and destroyed in a park south of Nanaimo, B.C.

CO2 from burning forests whether in Amazon or S-E Asia exacerbates climate woes globally

By using imaging scans to measure internal decay, researchers find forests may store far less carbon than we think.

Biodiversity chief calls for countries to unite to halt rapid degradation of nature

In the forested state hardest hit by fires, far-right President Jair Bolsonaro's Orwellian messaging is taking hold.

Some Canadian environment groups are urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to put the brakes on attempts to seal a free trade agreement with Brazil until stronger policies to protect the Amazon rainforest are in place.

The Global Energy Monitor says an international boom in liquefied natural gas exports is undermining global efforts to stop climate change and Canada is one of the industry's biggest players.

Italian physicist Enrico Fermi had a knack for back-of-the-envelope calculations. In a famous lunch-time conversation in 1950, Fermi used his knowledge of astronomy and probability to highlight a problem: If intelligent life exists elsewhere in the galaxy and if long-distance space travel is achievable, then Earth should have been visited by aliens by now.

Research suggests that greenhouse gases are turning Canada's Arctic waters acidic at a faster rate than anywhere else in the North.

A researcher at the University of Calgary says she has developed a method of turning greenhouse gases into valuable carbon nanofibres. Mina Zarabian came up with the concept while completing her doctorate in chemical and petroleum engineering at the university's Schulich School of Engineering. Zarabian and her professor, Pedro Pereira Almao, worked together to come up with the technique.

A report compiled by Environment Canada shows that four fossil fuel facilities in northern Alberta produced far more carbon dioxide and other pollutants than they are required to report under international guidelines.
