How China is winning the GREEN ENERGY race
18:59 | China’s version of the industrial revolution has lifted hundreds of millions out of abject poverty, but it is still held up by some as the greatest modern sin against humanity and our climate. So, how accurate is that allegation?
100% wind and solar is coming!

12:34 | The European Environment Agency has just published it’s first ever Climate Risk Assessment, which finds that EU policies are nothing like robust enough to cope with what’s coming our way.
Rethinking electricity grids
11:58 | The cost savings, energy efficiency improvements, and speed of installation that new materials are facilitating may just make the difference in the race for decarbonisation.
Why don’t we just tax carbon emissions?
11:38 | Burning carbon, for example in the form of coal, produces cheap energy – but also tons of emissions. Why don’t we just tax that?
Extreme climate research – On the road in the icefields of Patagonia
25:55 | Patagonia’s icefields are very difficult to access. Now, a scientist and two extreme mountaineers are venturing into this hard-to-reach area, in search of new data for climate research.

Is PERMAFROST the Climate Tipping Point of No Return?
11:59 | Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point.
