Solar geoengineering to cool the planet: Is it worth the risks?

When I first wrote about geoengineering in 2012 , it was considered far-fetched at best, and crazy by most. But 12 years later, while there is still controversy and considerable resistance to deploying it, respectable scientists ...

Africa's megacities threatened by heat, floods, disease—action needed to start greening, adapt to climate change

Cities cover just 3% of the planet. But they emit 78% of all global greenhouse gas emissions, absorb 80% of final global energy (what consumers use) and consume 60% of clean drinking water.

A million years without a megaslide: Study goes deep into the Gulf of Alaska to investigate why

Earthquakes, volcanic activity, and sediment flux can trigger underwater landslides known as submarine slides, which can translate to tsunamis on the surface. Megaslides are extreme versions of these underwater events.
