Antarctica's massive Thwaites Glacier and its smaller twin, the Pine Island Glacier, may be in a death spiral. If they are past a point of no return, scientists say, then only a massive intervention can save them. Read more Yale Environment 360: bit.ly/doomsdayglacier

With the Mackenzie River too low for barge traffic, villages in northern Canada are flying in food, fuel, and other goods. A proposed 200-mile highway could offer a lifeline, but the project faces big challenges in a warming Arctic. e360.yale.edu/features/canad…

From our archives: Insects can furnish as much protein as livestock with as little as 1 percent of the emissions. To slow climate change, the EU has eased regulations around bug-based food. A photo essay captures Europe's emerging insect food industry: e360.yale.edu/features/europ…

Indigenous Australians have been fighting fire with fire for 60,000 years. "The whole system evolved with Indigenous burning," says an expert. Learn more in “Burnt Country,” the Second-Place Winner of the 2024 Yale Environment 360 Film Contest: bit.ly/3WWOAQ0

Warm ocean currents are weakening the base of Antarctica’s Thwaites glacier, whose demise could raise sea levels by up to 7 feet. To protect the ice from warmer waters, scientists have put forward an audacious plan to erect a massive undersea barrier. e360.yale.edu/features/thwai…

From our archives: A project in California aims to store solar energy in a depleted oilfield. “We are looking to find the battery, not build it," says a researcher involved with the effort. e360.yale.edu/features/kern-…

In 2001, German biologist Martin Wikelski set out to create an “internet of animals,” a global system of sensor-wearing wildlife that would reveal the elusive, nonhuman world. More than 20 years later, he may have finally succeeded. Read more Yale Environment 360: bit.ly/3WJ7YRE

In the Mojave Desert, declining rainfall, increasingly extreme heat, and more intense wildfires are killing off Joshua trees. California officials are working on a plan to protect the iconic trees and the desert wildlife that depend on them. e360.yale.edu/features/joshu…

The excessive heat that fueled a drought in Sicily would have been “almost impossible” without climate change, a new analysis finds. Read more Yale Environment 360: bit.ly/4cR4SQu

More erratic rainfall is putting Joshua trees at risk. In wet years, invasive grasses spread, and in dry years those grasses fuel more intense wildfires. If warming continues unchecked, nearly 100 percent of the trees could be lost in the coming decades. e360.yale.edu/features/joshu…

From our archives: The world's largest beaver dam was discovered on Google Earth in 2007, and since then only one person has trekked into the Canadian wild to see it, writes Ian Frazier. e360.yale.edu/features/world…

Thirteen of the past 14 months were more than 1.5 degrees C warmer than the preindustrial era, a new analysis finds. Even after the end of El Niño, temperatures remain high. Read more at Yale Environment 360: bit.ly/3MySF8k

Climate change is the biggest threat to Joshua trees. Also threatening the trees, ironically, are the sprawling solar arrays being built in the desert to help California wean off fossil fuels. e360.yale.edu/features/joshu…
