Don't know what climate informatics is? You're excused. This collision of climate science and artificial intelligence is so new that we know who named it. Meet her.

New research reveals that it’s more than just inside-the-beltway thinking.

He was a self-described lab guy until “I realized we already have most of the technologies we need to begin tackling the climate crisis, and what we truly lack is political will.”

For climate change activists, the midterm elections brought some good news and some bad.

Politics does make strange bedfellows

Some of the better Bulletin offerings from 2013 on the existential threat of humanity’s continuing negative impact on global climate.

For nearly three decades, natural and physical scientists have provided increasingly clear and dire assessments of the alteration in the biophysical world. Yet despite these urgent warnings, human social and political response to ecological degradation remains wholly inadequate. While apathy in the United States is particularly notable, this gap between the severity of the problem and its lack of public salience is visible in most Western nations. As scientific evidence for climate change pours in, public urgency and even interest in the issue fails to correspond.

Editor’s note: This story was originally published by Undark. It appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. “We do not care about planet Earth,” four French scientists declared in February in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution. If humans are exhausting the planet’s resources, they wrote, it’s Earth that needs to adapt—not us. The authors issued a warning: “Should … Continued

Trump wants to spend $1.5 trillion on rebuilding roads and bridges, but experts say failing to account for climate change will add to costs.

Just like the argument about whether the Earth is round or flat, the science of climate change is settled, with 97 percent of researchers agreeing that our climate crisis is largely manmade. So why do so many members of the American public think the expert consensus is much lower? Here's a look at how those percentages were calculated, from someone who helped make them. And a look at the origins of the widely disseminated misperceptions about those numbers.

The notorious ice storm of 1998 was devastating to New England. With climate change, more such storms are expected—so what will they do to the region's forests? To find out, researchers created the first-ever artificial ice storm, in the controlled conditions of an experimental forest.

Can we really afford to assume Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria were all flukes?

With climate science under attack at the federal level, safeguarding the integrity of climate education in the classroom is more important than ever.

Biodiversity loss isn’t just a side effect of climate change. It’s also a causal factor driving climate change, and a consequence of other environmental problems that are being neglected.

In 2019, young people had something to say about the lack of progress on stabilizing the climate, negotiating with North Korea, and preparing for the arrival of quantum computing.

A new study found that because “high levels of parental trust in their children often leads to parents being willing to listen to or accept their child’s views on complex topics,” children can be the antidote to the climate denial brainwashing spread by Fox News.

Obama came into office promising transparency in government, but actions speak louder than words.

Some observers express optimism that victory over the coronavirus will instill greater appreciation for what science, government, and business can do together to tackle climate change. Others fear that the virus’s economic damage will set back climate efforts by years.

The Trump administration is trying to get the phrase "climate change" stripped from an Arctic Council declaration that Sec. of State Mike Pompeo is expected to sign next week. The intergovernmental body's statement may, however, have a "robust" discussion of climate change's impacts on the Arctic. It's the latest example of the administration talking about climate change while avoiding the actual phrase.
