Over the past 12 months, the federal government has approved multiple fossil fuel projects and cut climate science funding.

Moving servers into the ocean does not make underlying environmental challenges disappear. And it creates new concerns as well.
These underwater disasters can trigger coral bleaching and massive fish kills.
Scientists have been monitoring the reef’s health for the past 40 years.
As baby corals float in the currents, they can expand their species’ range. But can they get to climate refuges fast enough to survive? A new study has good news and bad.
New research shows climate change can drive sudden ocean cooling too. This can have devastating effects on marine life such as bull sharks and manta rays.
Projections show that there’ll be Indian Ocean dipoles in the future – and that means more rainy days, and more extreme rainfall.
The Great Barrier Reef is facing its worst summer of sustained heat stress since the mass bleaching event of 1998, but now with less time to recover amid repeated brutal conditions.
The same instruments used to measure earthquakes pick up vibrations as ocean waves put pressure on the sea floor. Four decades of data tell a story about ocean storms.
Could the data centres that power the internet be moved to the bottom of the ocean? It’s not as crazy as it sounds
A climate overshoot that creates warmer oceans with lower oxygen levels will reduce the suitable habitat for many marine species long after CO₂ levels have peaked and declined.
UK is home to a diverse range of jellyfish species – encounters with them may become more frequent as the ocean warms.
Coral has been incorporated into traditions, art and even religion in communities around the world.
The Pacific Ocean is entering the hot phase of its temperature cycle, an event that will turbo-charge global warming.
Over the past three years, Earth’s climate system has accumulated an average of 11 Hiroshima bombs’ worth of excess energy per second. And it’s showing in the current surge in ocean temperature.
New research has unravelled the mystery of why sea sponges die when the water gets too warm. The cause of death appears to be the sudden loss of microbes that usually act to detoxify sponge tissue.
The official forecast calls for a strong El Niño by winter, but other models suggest it might dip in and out. An atmospheric scientist explains.
Current forecasts suggest a warm tropical Pacific will be interfering with what could otherwise be a ferocious Atlantic hurricane season.
We know the oceans are warming, but we have fewer measurements in coastal waters where most fisheries and aquaculture operate. Now the fishing industry is helping scientists to track the changes.
There is only a single mooring managed by French researchers that monitors the impacts of climate change on West African Canary Current.
