climate change

European colonization of the Americas resulted in the killing of so many native people that it transformed the environment and caused the Earth’s climate to cool down, new research has found.

Amid mounting calls to phase out fossil fuels in the face of rapidly worsening climate change, the United States is ramping up oil and gas drilling faster than any other country, threatening to add 1,000 coal plants’ worth of planet-warming gases by the middle of the century, according to a report released Wednesday.

Faced with potentially ruinous lawsuits over California's recent wildfires, Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. filed for bankruptcy protection on Tuesday, January 29, 2019, in a move that could lead to higher bills for customers of the nation's biggest utility and reduce the size of any payouts to fire victims.

There’s a smear campaign being run by big oil and their cheerleaders. They’re trying to demonize Canadian environmental groups for taking U.S. money. It’s a red herring. And so are their other arguments against climate action. Environmental Defence talks back.

Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have publicly acknowledged the dangers of global warming, but last week they all sponsored a conference that promoted climate change denial to young libertarians.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro pledged to work "in harmony with the world" to cut carbon emissions, aiming to quell international concerns that his country, the main custodian of the oxygen-rich Amazon, could put economic interests over environmental ones.

A pair of experts on global warming have thrown their support behind a new legal motion urging the National Energy Board should consider all climate-related impacts from the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline and tanker expansion in its review of the project.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sharpened his core re-election message on Sunday, January 20, 2019, telling his MPs to present a positive message to Canadians while he branded his Conservative opponents as a detached party of the elite.

For some people, the awakening comes in science class.

Yes, there are some crises in Canada, but they are not related to pipelines, you told us in a series of surveys. After many people were buzzing about a new Angus Reid poll that concluded most Canadians believed the country faces a crisis due to a lack of pipelines, we did a few informal surveys of our own on some questions that the pollsters may have forgotten.

We noticed an Angus Reid poll seemed to be missing a few key questions about issues such as climate change, environmental liabilities and the clean economy, so we thought we'd help them out and do an online poll of our own.

Climate change could be kept in check if a phaseout of all fossil fuel infrastructure were to begin immediately, according to research.

Scientist Brad Lister returned to Puerto Rican rainforest after 35 years to find 98 per cent of ground insects had vanished

“It would’ve been very different if I had been premier of Ontario,” Patrick Brown told National Observer in an interview. “I would have been a conservative partner with the federal government, trying to combat climate change.”
