Warming ocean water is weakening a major current system called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which helps regulate global weather. Melting ice in Greenland and freshwater from rivers are making the ocean less...

To fight climate change, countries need to support research, recruit science experts, and help companies develop clean technology through partnerships and government programs. Citizens also play an important role by staying involved in...

As the planet warms, there's more water vapor in the air, which makes storms stronger and causes heavier rain and snow. This extra heat and humidity can also make it dangerous to live in some places, especially at night when bodies can’t...

One of the best ways to cut pollution from transportation is to make cities easier to walk or bike in and to improve public transit, like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), which is cheaper than building subways and still very effective. Cities...

California’s cap-and-trade program is seen as the most successful way to put a price on carbon in the world. It uses a market system where companies buy and sell permits to pollute, but there's a minimum price to keep costs from dropping...

The oceans are very important in climate change because they take in almost 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases and a lot of carbon dioxide. This makes the oceans warmer and more acidic, which has led to record-low sea ice,...

Hydrogen Technology. This is a clip from the Simba Creative documentary, Without Leaving Anyone Behind.

This video discusses the role of pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide, in global warming and climate change. It highlights the use of the Skier Marquis instrument, which measures atmospheric contaminants and provides high-resolution...

This video highlights the impact of climate change on vulnerable Pacific nations like Kiribati and the melting permafrost in Siberia. It discusses the importance of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement aimed at reducing...

How do we reduce the impact of climate change, and could geoengineering be the solution? Host Sinead Bovell is joined by sci-fi writer Kim Stanley Robinson and other experts to examine the goal of Global Net Zero Emissions, direct air...

For this episode we wanted to see where we are in terms of “business as usual,” and if we are still headed towards an apocalypse of sorts. Or if, perhaps, all of the technological innovations in renewables and EVs along with new climate...

The term climate change is used to denote the long-term changes in the weather patterns in a given region. Another term often interchanged with climate change is global warming. Global warming is formally defined as a rise in Earth's...

Also known as the Northern or Southern Lights. Natural displays of light in the polar regions, clearly visible in the night sky.

Where does the electricity we use come from? Are we damaging our environment just to keep the lights on? Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning Points. Electricity is essential to our society and the way we live. Electricity...

Even though the planet is warming, the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface is decreasing. What is causing this, and what effect does it have? Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. Global dimming is the reduction in...

Welcome to the home of the Carbon family. Discover how much carbon they - and many average families - use every single year. Human Geography - A Changing World - Learning Points. 50% of CO₂ produced by humans comes from...

The transport industry is one of the leading polluters in the world today. What technologies are being developed to create cleaner transportation and what are their advantages and disadvantages? Earth Science - Earth's Resources -...

Melting icecaps are threatening one of the most important currents in the world, the Great Ocean Conveyor. If it stopped, it could have devastating impacts on our climate. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. The Great Ocean...

What changes can the Carbon Family make in daily life to substantially decrease their carbon footprint? Everyday changes that could make the world of difference to our planet's climate. Human Geography - A Changing World - Learning...

Without the greenhouse effect, our planet would be too cold to inhabit, but it's currently a major cause of global warming. What is the greenhouse effect, and why is it such a conundrum? Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points....

How is this powerful and controversial energy source produced? Do the advantages outweigh the dangers of nuclear power? Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning Points. Nuclear power is created using uranium, and small amounts can...

Earth has always had changeable weather, but now the world's climate is getting warmer. What is global warming, why is it a problem and how can we stop it? Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. Most scientists agree that human...
