The world is likely to pass 1.5°C of warming. Africa faces worse heat, drought and floods, but faster cuts to emissions can still limit the overshoot damage.

Understanding what happened in these forests 56 million years ago may help humanity recognize similar thresholds before we cross them again, the lead author of a new study writes.
You spend eight hours a night in the one room nobody ventilates. That’s bad for your sleep, and ideal for mould.
Three researchers take stock of different Union-wide policy approaches to removing and storing carbon emissions in the heavy industry sector.
Human-made carbon dioxide emissions threaten the very survival of our larger pollinators.
Some of South America’s tropical forests effectively stopped absorbing carbon during the 2015-2016 El Niño.
If many countries take the stance that ‘we’re only contributing 1% of global emissions’, responsibility dwindles and action stalls.
Scientists have extracted atoms from eggshells that are 15 million years old which reveal how plants responded to high levels of carbon dioxide.
Many Formula 1 innovations have made their way from the racetrack to regular roads. But technological improvements can only go so far toward limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
By 2100, rural African dwellers will be exposed to dangerous levels of heat nearly twice as high as those in urban areas.
The latest State of the Climate report paints a grim picture of global warming. But by reducing our emissions and fossil fuel use, we can still slow it down.
If recent trends continue, the atmosphere may become a little toxic to breathe in 50 years.
Instead of treating plastic purely as waste, new research shows that it can be transformed into something useful — acetic acid, a key component of vinegar and an important industrial chemical.
The initiatives put in place by the organizers for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are an encouraging first step, but they remain insufficient.
Fire obviously isn’t a liquid or a solid. In fact, it’s not matter at all – it’s a process.
Coral reefs have shaped Earth in much deeper ways than we usually appreciate.
A fast drop in coal use played a big role, but there was more, as these charts show.
The US is set to shut down a crucial satellite that monitors how much carbon is in the atmosphere.
Solar panels can be a low priority for cash-strapped homeowners – but a ‘use it or lend it’ program could help
It’s clear – climate change is supercharging the world’s wildfires in unpredictable and devastating ways.
