As the first heatwave of the summer kicks in, prepare for sweaty, sleepless nights. After sweltering days, both Melbourne and Sydney will still have 23 degrees at midnight.
How might we prevent sea-level rise? Satellite-based radar, solar-powered drones, robot submarines and lab-based ‘artificial glaciers’ could all play a role Sea levels are rising faster than at any point in human history, and for every foot that waters rise, 100 million people lose their homes. At current projections, that means about 300 million people will be forced to move in the decades to come, along with the social and political conflict as people migrate inland. Despite this looming crisis, the world still lacks specific, reliable forecasts for when and where the seas will rise – and we have invested almost nothing in understanding whether and how we can slow it down. Societies must continue to focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but it’s increasingly clear that the world needs...

The public stoush is really about whether the party will drop the charade or maintain it while shuffling some words Want to get this in your inbox when it publishes? Sign up for the Clear Air Australia newsletter here The best thing that can be said about the Coalition’s internal brawl over whether to abandon its support for reaching net zero emissions by 2050 is that it has some honesty in it. Not much honesty, but if you look closely you may see some light breaking through. The federal Liberals and Nationals have never supported the idea of reaching net zero by 2050.
