Degrowth: The Idea We’d Rather Avoid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Endless economic growth is impossible on a finite planet. David Suzuki has been making that point for years.And yet, here we are. GDP growth remains the dominant measure of economic success almost everywhere, even as we push against the limits of what our planet can provide.So perhaps it’s time to take another look at degrowth, what it actually means, what it could offer, and, importantly, where the problems and contradictions with the idea lie.ClimateBash is a re

Politicians think voters hate climate action. They’re wrong.A new study suggests that politicians vastly overestimate public opposition to climate policies and the degree to which voters are politically divided. For example, UK MPs estimated that around 38% of the public opposed climate action, but polling put the real figure at about 20%. They also substantially exaggerated the gap between voters from different parties. Researchers warn this crea

More unexpected results and welcome surprises: the good news arrived decades laterA remarkable restoration experiment in Costa Rica demonstrates how waste can be used to rebuild ecosystems. In the 1990s, researchers spread around 12,000 tonnes of orange-processing waste on severely degraded land in Guanacaste, an area that had been stripped of much of its vegetation by intensive cattle farming. Sixteen years later, the once bare site had transformed into a lush tropical fo

Unexpected side effects of climate changeResearchers analyzing more than a century of data found that rising temperatures could eventually render parts of West and Central Africa too hot for malaria transmission. In some of today’s biggest malaria hotspots, therefore, climate change could accelerate the decline of the disease, working alongside existing elimination efforts. However, malaria isn’t simply disappearing. Climate change is shifting the r
Extreme Heat Seems Inevitable. Unprepared Cities Aren’t. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While browsing the climate news, one thing stands out once again: bad news dominates the headlines. Many stories about Europe’s relentless heat waves still fail to mention climate change, the bigger picture. Meanwhile, fashion magazines cheerfully offer tips on how to “enjoy summer,” even though heat-related deaths are becoming a seasonal health risk rather than an occasional inconvenience. And though we now know that man-made (probably an accurate use of gender) climate change is driving the cr
