A closer look at where solar storms come from — and why they produce such stunning light shows.

Though more research will be necessary to say for sure.

This is the key to solving climate change. And we’re struggling to figure it out.

A new study shows how California might be able to go carbon-negative using futuristic biomass plants.

Surprisingly, a “ban” on climate change never seems to work.

Solar planes aren’t likely to be practical anytime soon, but this is an impressive feat all the same.

Parasites, pesticides, and poor nutrition are all working together, a new paper argues — and their combined effect is worse than any one alone.

This is a weak El Niño, unlikely to bring much relief for California’s drought. But it could push up global temperatures.
