ocean acidification

Plastic pollution is changing the processes of the entire Earth system, exacerbating climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, and the use of freshwater and land, according to scientific analysis.

A groundbreaking, global survey of more than 700 reporters and editors from 102 countries shows that nearly 40 per cent have faced threats for their work, while more than one in ten have been confronted with physical violence.

Industry representatives have characterized the lawsuits as a “waste of taxpayer resources” and contended that climate change should be addressed by Congress, not the courts.

The first complete "scientific health check" shows most global systems are beyond the stable range in which modern civilization emerged.

B.C. has created a new plan to tackle the twin spectres of ocean acidification and dwindling oxygen levels seen as leading climate threats for coastal communities, marine ecosystems and industry along the West Coast.

As acidification threatens shellfish along North America’s Pacific Coast, Indigenous sea gardens offer solutions.

A new report from dozens of international scientists says it's inevitable the Arctic will lose its entire summer sea cover at least once over the next generation and probably a lot more often than that.

Transport Canada planned to crack down on the cruise ship industry’s biggest source of pollution earlier this year, but that type of wastewater was missing when the department released new regulations.

The relentless rise of fossil fuel burning in Canada is leaving climate-safe energy alternatives — and climate hope — far behind. And columnist Barry Saxifrage has the charts to prove it.

In the cold, choppy waters of Alaska’s Resurrection Bay, all eyes were on the gray water, looking for one thing only.

A team of female scientists at a state-of-the-art lab on a remote B.C. island are untangling the effects of ocean acidification and other climate change impacts on shellfish and various marine organisms.

The twin spectres of acidification and low oxygen are flying under the radar as potentially devastating climate threats on the West Coast.

Despite decades of failing, Canada is once again promising big emissions cuts even as it expands fossil fuel production. Has any nation pulled it off? Here's what I found when I went looking.

The primary fuel of the climate crisis — CO2 in our atmosphere — continues to accelerate upwards, unchecked by decades of Earth Days, climate summits and even a global pandemic. Barry Saxifrage shows us where we are now, globally and in Canada.

The Arctic Ocean could absorb 20 per cent more carbon than previously predicted before the end of the century, according to a recent study.
