A leaked IPCC report debates the value of personal behavioral change in fighting climate change versus reducing "demand-side" emissions.

Though separated by nearly 1,000 miles, these two extreme weather incidents are amplified by the same phenomenon: human-caused climate change.

If you have ever considered your zombie apocalypse survival plan, you've almost certainly concluded that the best place to be to survive the end-of-the-world event is somewhere isolated, and preferably surrounded by water. As it turns out, science…

The proposals, expected Wednesday, are likely to be more ambitious and specific than other countries’ efforts to fight climate change and may include a border tax on imports deemed to be polluting.

Yes, planting new trees can help. But intact wild areas are much better. The world needs to treat warming and biodiversity loss as two parts of the same problem, a new report warns.
