Climate change can seem like a problem too vast for everyday people to influence, but research using computer models suggests that public attitudes and social learning can have a measurable impact on global warming.

Lawyers representing young Quebecers tried to convince a judge on Thursday, June 6, 2019, to authorize a class action lawsuit against the federal government for what they argue is a failure to combat climate change.

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.

Permafrost in some areas of the Canadian Arctic is melting so fast that it's gulping up the equipment left there to study it.

Climate scientist Maria Caffrey is out of a job starting Friday.

Democrats launched a sweeping plan Thursday to transform the U.S. economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy, signalling its likely elevation as a central campaign issue in 2020 despite President Donald Trump's failure to mention climate change in his State of the Union address.

A silent revolution has transformed driving in Norway.

A new report from one of the world's most prestigious medical journals says Canada's failure to cut greenhouse-gas emissions isn't just killing the planet, it's killing Canadians.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley wants urgent federal action to stop a "regulatory merry-go-round" and get the Trans Mountain pipeline built.

Beyond simply piling up along the coast, discarded plastics that end up in the ocean could also be a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a study by a Canadian-led team of researchers from the University of Hawaii.

Shannon Phillips made the comments at a summit near Ottawa last week on women climate leaders, in response to questions over how her government plans to deal with recent surveys showing some public skepticism over the threat of climate change and the benefits of putting a price on carbon pollution.

Canada's latest greenhouse gas inventory report to the United Nations shows emissions are starting to trend downward, but not nearly at the rate needed to meet the country's international commitments under the Paris climate change accord.

Technologies like CarbonCure's concrete with injected carbon dioxide have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a staggering 15 per cent worldwide over the next 12 years, according to the U.S.-based Global CO2 Initiative.

The United Nations group which regulates the international shipping industry is being asked to cut emissions from the cargo ships, oil tankers and other vessels that crisscross the world's oceans as they threaten to become the single-largest source of planet-warming greenhouse gases.
