Unless Victorian forests are subjected to more efficient bushfire preparedness, Global Warming will result in large uncontrollable fires, warns John Cribbes.

Research involving Australian scientists has uncovered 24 new plant and animal species in Papua New Guinea, leading to a call for the protection of its highlands.

Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) are measuring how dissolved salts are affecting bubble coalescence (how bubbles merge). Now, while that might sound like an arcane and esoteric quest, the scientists believe the data they are collecting will be critical for testing theories on how air/solvent interfaces operate. This in turn may transform many industrial processes connected with soft matter systems (for example, emulsions, gels and colloids) and revolutionise biology.

Research has shown that Earth and its oceans are losing their ability to absorb carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to the rate of climate change.

Australian coral experts have released a statement calling for a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions before it becomes too late to save the reefs.

Workers with agricultural and resource management qualifications will be in high demand as the planet continues to be affected by climate change.

Australia needs to address the issue of food security today to avoid going hungry in the future, according to Julian Cribb.

The world's oceans are becoming more acid, with potentially devastating consequences for corals and the marine organisms that build reefs.

Nuclear power is a viable option that should be seriously considered to help minimise greenhouse gas emissions, according to Ian Smith.

Researchers have sequenced the genome of a fungus that causes wheat disease, which could lead to more effective treatments for wheat farmers.

The causes of the hyper bushfires of recent years have nothing to do with climate change but everything to do with the forest mismanagement, according to John Cribbes.

Strategic vision, leadership and urgent action on climate change is essential, according to Acacia Rose.

There has been little consideration about how fair the impacts of our policy responses to climate change will be, says Christian Seibert.

A new report has shown that highlights the importance of emission pricing as well as technology in the fight against climate change.

Spare a thought for the communities in developing countries in which less reputable mining companies now operate, says Andrew Hewett.
