Coming to terms with nuclear energy
Past disasters show public concern surrounding nuclear energy is legitimate, but better regulation could help allay fears.
Water scarcity has a solution: Wastewater
Water scarcity is not some far off consequence of the climate crisis. To overcome it, overriding our obsession with freshwater and embracing wastewater will be necessary.
Are nuclear energy and natural gas sustainable investments?
We need a means of reducing carbon emissions and tackling the climate crisis, but is painting nuclear energy and natural gas as “sustainable” the way forward?
How we frame the climate crisis matters
Stories that frame the climate crisis solely as a global problem can have unintended consequences, such as hiding local vulnerabilities.
Better research in the wake of AI
Shrouded in the language of computers, the key is to figure out how to work with, and not blindly rely on, AI.
Small modular reactors offer no hope for nuclear energy
Many believe that small modular reactors will help solve the energy crisis, but this belief is grossly optimistic.
Is limiting population growth key to climate change?
Scientists and climate ethicists argue that more attention needs to be given to population growth’s role in the climate crisis.
Only incremental progress at COP26, but there is reason to hope
Pledges provide hope that the climate crisis is being taken seriously, but whether words will translate into reality is yet to be seen.
How will climate change influence global migration
The climate crisis is predicted to trigger mass migration, but burning questions remain that research needs to answer.
