Young people are terrified that climate change will destroy Earth by the time they grow up, but the world is not actually ending, argues Cambridge professor Mike Hulme.

From the summit of Mount Everest to the deep depths of the Marianna Trench – and even our brains. Microplastics – tiny substances linked to cancer, infertility and a host of health issues – are found everywhere.

Scientists warn dozens of coastal cities are in danger of being washed over by flooding due to rising sea levels – but two dozen are at higher risks.

Climate change is ‘off the charts’ and presents a ‘defining challenge’ to humanity, a damning new report warns today.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says several climate records were broken and in some cases ‘smashed’ last year.
Greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rises, and Antarctic ice loss all escalating in 2023 due to fossil fuel emissions.

Visitors could be forgiven for thinking it’s a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
For the abandoned citadel of Guermassa in Tunisia sits in an otherworldly landscape redolent of the environs of Star Wars’ Tatooine.
This is not a coincidence: nearby Tataouine city – the capital of the Tataouine Governate – provided the architectural inspiration for Luke Skywalker’s home planet, if not the shooting location (that’s Matmata, in the north east).
Guermassa itself is the name of
A democratic New York City lawmaker last week introduced a bill to ban laundry detergent packs like Tide Pods – in the latest attempt to crack down on household goods because of climate change fears.
Stores and laundromats would face a fine of up to $1,200 for repeated violations.
