At the start of August, wildfires exploded across the Mediterranean basin, fueled by a wicked trio of extreme heat, drought and wind. In southern...

This is important because deserts and drylands are spreading around the world as the climate changes. Rainfall in these places is also becoming more unpredictable, so wet-dry cycles may happen more often. That could mean more greenhouse gases being released into the air than scientists had thought.

Cloud seeding, like artificial reef construction or large-scale afforestation projects, often enjoys positive framing in official narratives and promotional campaigns. But without independent, peer-reviewed assessment, such projects can leave the public reliant on institutional claims. This information gap can breed suspicion, especially when interventions coincide with extreme or unexpected events.

On a dry, windy afternoon in late April 2025, the hills west of Jerusalem ignited and burst into an inferno. Flames, fed by the...

On August 5th, 2025, environmental experts from Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories descended upon the University of Leeds for a three-day event centered...

This August, Israel is facing one of the most punishing heat waves in recent history-exactly the kind of event that climate scientists have warned...

Wastewater treatment plants are a hidden source of greenhouse gas emissions, releasing methane, nitrous oxide, and fossil CO₂. A new study calls for smarter monitoring and tailored emission factors. U.S. firms like Jacobs, AECOM, and Black & Veatch are key players in building climate-resilient wastewater infrastructure.

The strikes on Iran have sparked fierce debate, but from Israel’s perspective, the choice was easy: either accept the risks of a nuclear Iran or act decisively to stop it.

What's that sinking feeling? In Iran, the very ground under your feet may drop away. The issue here isn’t war. The issue is land subsidence, a...

When Dame Alison Rose assumed leadership of NatWest Group in 2019, she recognised that climate change represented not just an environmental challenge but "probably the biggest existential threat that we will face as a society." Her response was to position the bank at the forefront of sustainable finance, implementing what she describes as "a very clear strategy on climate" that would fundamentally reshape how NatWest operates and lends.

Mars, the dusty red planet that once held our wildest dreams of alien life, is revealing its past—and perhaps a glimpse of Earth’s future....

Make Sunsets, a geoengineering startup based in South Dakota, continues to attract both controversy and attention as it pushes ahead with its mission to "Make Earth Cool Again"—literally. T

Critics argue that Make Sunsets bypassed essential scientific protocols, including public engagement and independent impact assessments, raising concerns about the ethical implications of manipulating the climate without comprehensive oversight. ​

Chances are you already have central AC and heat. Although your equipment may be of the high-efficiency variety, you can lower your energy use even more. By moving away from conventional HVAC systems, you can only use the energy you need at the moment.

Tel Aviv has started giving away free fruit trees in a bid to re-wild its city and make it greener. They are calling it an urban food forest. Researchers from Berlin come up with a blueprint on how to green and re-wild your city. You could use this with new greening AI research from MIT to make your city remarkably green.
