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.

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.
