UBC research finds plants are 'leaking' more water than thought.

Global average temperature in 2023 reached 1.48 C higher than the pre-industrial average.

The Earth is now about 1.3 C warmer than it was in the 1800s .

The world is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement target to keep global temperature from exceeding 1.5 C.

B.C.-based forestry giant Interfor reaped an estimated $1.8 million in net profit from logging in old-growth areas meant to be preserved.

Federal Emergency Management Agency employees tied to climate change and related hazards are next on the chopping block.

Western Canada’s glacier melt is accelerating at an alarming rate because of human-caused climate change.

A B.C. judge finds RCMP officers made “grossly offensive, racist and dehumanizing” remarks about Indigenous women.

Canada would have to designate major pipeline projects such as Northern Gateway as being “in the national interest” and therefore legally required before companies will consider investing again, says Enbridge chief executive officer Greg Ebel .
