As climate change drives rising global temperatures, scientists warn that cities are on the frontline of extreme heat. Urban areas are quickly becoming some of the most uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous places to be in the hottest months. The reason is something known as the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon where cities become significantly… Continue reading Cool Cities: How Green Spaces Reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect
When people think about climate change, they often picture melting glaciers, rising sea levels, or extreme weather events. But one of the most serious impacts is happening much closer to home, in our gardens, farms, and countryside hedgerows. Pollinating insects, especially bees, are under growing pressure from a warming planet. These tiny creatures play an… Continue reading Bad News for Bees

Harnessing wave energy is one of the ways that we can gather sustainable power from our oceans. However we may have discovered a way to use the energy from tides, which is a more constant source of energy. Scotland is paving the way for a new wave of tidal technologies. The Orbital O2 is a… Continue reading Harnessing the Endless Current: A New Frontier in Green Energy
Beyond Hype and Panic Artificial intelligence is often framed in extremes. It is either hailed as a breakthrough technology that could help solve the climate crisis, or condemned as an energy-hungry system accelerating it. Both claims contain truth yet obscure a more complex reality regarding the environmental impact of generative AI. AI is neither a… Continue reading Unpacking Artificial Intelligence’s Environmental Promises and Costs
Over the course of 2025, mainstream news media around the world reported less on climate change than in previous years. Global coverage fell by approximately 14% compared to 2024, and by nearly 40% since its peak in 2021. This marked decline has not occurred because the climate crisis has eased. On the contrary, atmospheric CO?… Continue reading Less Coverage, Greater Crisis: Climate Change and the News
