The findings suggest people don’t have the background knowledge to accurately judge the effectiveness of climate actions.

Researchers also devised a new metric to assess which travel shifts offer the biggest climate gain for the behavioral-change pain

In a head-to-head comparison, researchers found that white or reflective roofs outperformed all other commonly employed cooling strategies on hot summer days.

Building on similar past work, researchers built a new bacterial strain that gobbles up sewage even faster and generates a more powerful electric current.

A new analysis suggests that the trees people are planting in their yards may not be sustainable in a hotter, drier world.

Jet biofuels are not necessarily less carbon intensive than fossil fuels, say researchers. In a side-by-side comparison of emissions, they found some grasses performed best.

In a first, researchers used the BOSCC measure to analyze data from multiple previous studies.

“Policies that focus on particular technological solutions rather than an end goal can lead to unintended consequences,” say researchers.

A new analysis leverages a fantastically comprehensive database of 1,500 climate policies that have been tried worldwide

A new study found that when presented with unfamiliar climate terms, people were less likely to express concern, urgency, or policy support
