It only takes one significant injury to disabuse a person of that notion, one example that some part of their body will never quite be the same again. An injury can serve as a constant reminder that being a bit more careful would be prudent. That, if you haven't guessed, is a metaphor for our approach to climate change. We're acting a bit like...

The analysis was unveiled at a meeting of the Global Green Growth...

Wildfires are raging in a ring around Sydney, Australia, as that country experiences its hottest year on record. The World Meteorological Organization has not established a direct link between this wildfire and climate change yet, Figueres said. But what is absolutely clear is the science is telling us that there are increasing heat waves in...
