President Donald Trump asserted that he had “very high levels of intelligence,” and as such, did not believe in the scientific consensus surrounding climate change.

“Earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities,” warns the very first sentence of the fourth National Climate Assessment, a 1,656-page report that gives us the most comprehensive portrait yet of how climate change is reshaping the US, from more damaging wildfire seasons to shrinking coastal lines. 

High above a meltwater lake in Greenland, 3,000 or so feet from the ground, the plane tipped so that Tom Hegen could shoot straight down. The plane circled the lake to find the right angle and the right light, and then did it again

MPs spent their first day back in Parliament after Thanksgiving break debating the perils of climate change.

Carbon pollution would have to be cut by 45 per cent by 2030 – compared with a 20 per cent cut under the 2C pathway – and come down to zero by 2050, compared with 2075 for 2C. This would require carbon prices that are three to four times higher than for a 2C target. But the costs of doing nothing would be far higher.

B.C.'s Okanagan Valley, known for its long hot summers and beautiful lakes, wineries and orchards, has long been a popular destination for tourists, wedding parties, and families seeking a healthy lifestyle closer to the great outdoors. Although temperatures are starting to cool down, blazes are still raging across the province in the second-worst wildfire season in B.C’s history.

The Trump administration is set to roll back the centerpiece of President Barack Obama's efforts to slow global warming, the Clean Power Plan that restricts greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants.

This past June, late one night, a team of scientists camped out on a fjord in Greenland heard a roar. When icebergs are born, they fill the ocean with noise, and the Helheim Glacier was cracking.

The scorching heat wave that set records in Ontario and Quebec over the Canada Day long weekend can't be directly attributed to climate change — but neither can the likelihood of a connection be ignored outright, says a University of Waterloo climate scientist.

Germany will likely miss its goal of cutting emissions by 40 per cent by 2020, the country's environment minister said on Monday, June 18, 2018, an embarrassing admission for a government that wants to lead the charge on limiting climate change.

It sounds like spinning straw into gold: suck carbon dioxide from the air where it's contributing to climate change and turn it into fuel for cars, trucks and jets.

Our overheating planet just reached another staggering — maybe even astronomical — new milestone.

In a recent article, a team led by Dr. Leslie Field was up in Alaska spreading sand on a frozen lake. The researchers are hoping to find a way to stop sea ice from melting. Could this actually work?

No province has yet shown interest in signing on to the federal government's carbon pricing system instead of creating their own, potentially setting up a log jam for Ottawa to meet its deadline for every province to have a $20 a tonne price on pollution by Jan. 1.

With thousands of square miles of land already lost along the coast, Avery Island, home of the famed Tabasco hot sauce, is under threat
