In the most detailed study on topic to date, researchers find that ending extreme poverty worldwide would increase global carbon emissions by only around 2%.
Engineers used artificial intelligence and advanced computing to design a transparent coating that blocks the sun's heat and sends it from the window straight into outer space
New study documents how elephants plant the forest with high carbon-density trees and get rid of the weeds.
Why burn lignin when you could use it to fly an airplane? Research shows lignin-based jet fuel performs better with lower emissions than petro-fuels
The latest research team to tackle the question thinks it is. Their key insight: a lot of current energy use isn’t really contributing to human well-being
Waiting longer to buy a new car and keeping existing cars on the road longer overall could substantially cut greenhouse gas emissions
Study underscores the power of top predators to shape ecosystems—even helping to keep them cool during heatwaves
