Researchers studied how the social cost of carbon estimates would change if studies included the most recent science on temperature-related deaths tied to climate change. According to a new study, substantially curtailing emissions today could prevent tens of millions of premature deaths over the course of the 21st century.

Traditional crop breeding can be time-consuming and laborious. Brad Ringeisen, the executive director of the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) at the University of California (Berkeley and San Francisco), believes that gene editing using tools like Crispr-Cas9 is the most impactful way of ensuring that crops can withstand disasters.

Plants bred or engineered to be short can stand up better to windstorms. They could also boost yields and benefit the environment.

Getting to zero carbon emissions won’t save the world. We’ll have to also remove carbon from the air—a massive undertaking unlike anything we’ve ever done.

A half-trillion dollars is starting to work its way through the US economy, remaking climate technology along the way.

Researchers are closing in on the long-sought goal of creating high-yielding hybrid crops that can be propagated indefinitely, without sex.

The program would use cameras, computer vision, and machine learning to track the carbon stored in the biomass of the oceans.

A Costa Rican flower has turned this foe into friend, according to a new study. One species of the so-called arum plant has evolved to attract a species of plant bug instead of a typical beetle pollinator, helping them spread their pollen far and wide.

Government representatives are gathering in Glasgow, at the United Nations Climate Change Conference to discuss strategies on how to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Check out this article to learn more about the options they'll be discussing.

Using a web of PVC pipes and rubber hoses, researchers are simulating a flood of the future in a dense forest just a few miles from Chesapeake Bay. Researchers hope to build a global model that will help scientists understand what events lead to the earliest stages of tree stress and when forests near coasts start converting to wetlands.
