Under existing climate policies, electric vehicles could wipe out the use of two million barrels a day of diesel and petrol.

Many of the common hurdles for large-scale carbon capture and storage can be addressed when projects share knowledge and do not start from ground zero in their development, writes Beth (Hardy) Valiaho of International CCS Knowledge Centre.

The massive melting of glaciers has tilted Earth's rotation, showing the impact human activities are having on the planet.

Canada's environment minister has proposed changes to the bill that would make the federal government more accountable as it strives to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. 

"We aren’t the U.S., and implementing their solutions doesn’t get us as far," writes energy-worker-turned-environmental-poet Ross Belot.

Summit Carbon Solutions says it is developing a US$2-billion pipeline project that will carry carbon dioxide captured from ethanol refineries scattered across the Midwest to a site in North Dakota where it will be pumped thousands of feet underground.

Adam Scott works to persuade large investors to shift out of fossil fuels and shift to companies building a zero-emissions future.

Fossil fuel cars waste hundreds of times more raw material than their battery electric equivalents, according to a study that adds to evidence that the move away from petrol and diesel cars will bring large net environmental benefits.

As city planners and building managers move to crack down on energy use and carbon pollution coming out of the built environment, the gas-powered swimming pool could become another example of how natural gas heating in buildings is being singled out for scrutiny.

Mike Thompson, chief economist and director of analysis for the U.K.'s Climate Change Committee, says, "It’s pretty clear that once you set these targets, this is not about tomorrow’s problem, this is today’s problem."

Yes, say German researchers who examined the environmental cost of producing meat, dairy and vegetables in both organic and industrial agricultural systems.

There will only be a “relatively modest impact” on global temperature rise if less developed countries don’t cut their emissions for now — compared to much greater consequences if developed countries delay their own decarbonization, scientists have found.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new climate plan proposes growing the carbon price and injecting $15 billion worth of initiatives into the economy. His government is hoping these efforts will result in steeper cuts to Canada’s carbon pollution that go beyond current measures.
