Climate Change Stories
From stories about pioneering work in solar fuels and carbon capture, to building resilient coastal infrastructure, to how the insurance industry is rewriting risk management strategies, Anthropocene magazine aims to be a leading voice in the conversation about the global transition to decarbonized economies.
Forests might not be the climate saviors we are counting on
New research suggests trees in the future won't get a big growth spurt from more CO2, and will die more in wildfires, droughts and insect outbreaks.
The big contributors to the ivory tower’s carbon footprint originate off campus
A new study found campus carbon hotspots not just in infrastructure but in people's behavior—such as travel to conferences, student commutes, and purchases of research materials.
Understanding partisanship nuances may be the key to climate action
A new study finds that resistance to climate policy among Republicans is driven far more by negative partisanship than expressive partisanship
Jet fuel from paper industry waste could make airplanes cleaner
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
Does climate change concern drop during a global pandemic?
Not at all, researchers find—evidence that casts doubt on the “finite pool of worry” hypothesis
Move over Medusa. Chemists turn carbon emissions into a solid—instantly
The commercially viable technique turns carbon dioxide back into solid carbon for building materials and other useful products.
First-of-its-kind solar tower brews jet fuel from water and CO2
Technology to make carbon-neutral kerosene has moved out of the lab and into a real-world demonstration, hinting at the future of solar jet fuels
Textbook climate coverage is expanding; solutions coverage is shrinking
In a new study, researchers propose four ways to improve climate change coverage in college biology classes
The fertilizer solution has become a major climate problem
Study reveals that anthropogenic N2O emissions have leapt by 30% over the past four decades
Engineers devise clever system for EVs to share charge—while driving
Think military jets being refueled in-flight by tanker aircraft . . .on a smaller scale with a lot less carbon emissions.
