While conducting research in Greenland, ice scientist Twila Moon was struck this summer by what climate change has doomed Earth to lose and what could still be saved.

With pledges for a United Nations climate conference, the world may be ever so slightly receding from gloomy scenarios of future global warming, according to two new preliminary scientific analyses on Thursday, November 4, 2021.

The move means the BC Oil and Gas Commission will have the power to exempt “permit holders from requirements of the Dormancy and Shutdown Regulation in circumstances that merit it.”

Canada is committing to slashing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector as part of a global effort to curb the powerful greenhouse gas.

In the latest study, scientists tried a method they called the MooLoo approach to teach calves to use a toilet area in their barn, meaning that urine could be collected and treated.

IPCC says gas produced by farming, shale gas and oil extraction are playing an ever-greater role in overheating our planet.

With the era of building big dams over in the U.S., a growing number of existing dams are being modified to produce hydropower. These projects, advocates say, avoid the damaging impacts of new dams and could generate enough renewable electricity for several million homes.

The putrid smell makes Paula Jongerden sick to her stomach. It comes from a natural gas well about 300 metres from her home near Delhi, Ont., that erupts at least twice a week.

“Overwintering” fires smoulder under the snow, reigniting vegetation in the spring. New research shows the zombies may proliferate in a warmer world.

“We're finding that (methane) emissions are at least 1.5 times higher than what's currently being reported in official inventory reports,” says Katlyn MacKay, lead author of a recent study.

Fossil fuels, cattle and rotting waste produce methane, a greenhouse gas responsible for 30 per cent of global heating. Cutting it is the strongest action available to slow global heating in the near term, the UN's environment chief says.

Annual methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells might be underestimated by as much as 150 per cent in Canada and 20 per cent in the U.S., according to a recent study from McGill University.

I can’t help but think, if Epicurious is taking sustainability and environmental impact seriously, wouldn’t it be a better pledge to exclude the use of cow products altogether? Milk? Cheese? Butter? That's what Joanna Tymkiw thinks.

As Epicurious cut beef from its digital diet this week, conservative culture warriors used misinformation to invent their own meat-related scandal, writes columnist Max Fawcett. But at some point, we're going to have to reckon with the climate impact of our diet.

A forthcoming major UN report will show that nations need to accelerate methane cuts in order to avoid more extreme climate change.
