changing climate

The head of the United Nations says a new report shows the world is on a “catastrophic pathway” toward a hotter future unless governments make more ambitious pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

The United States had its hottest summer on record this year, narrowly edging out the previous milestone that was set 85 years ago during the Dust Bowl.

The northeastern United States is experiencing wetter, stronger storms because the atmosphere is becoming less stable as the Earth warms.

Sharks and rays have seen declines in their populations since 2014 and more and more are now threatened with extinction.

The Philadelphia area has seen an increase in flooding in recent years due to climate change. NBC10 meteorologist Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz breaks down what’s going on.

The Garden State, with 143,000 solar installations already producing 3,650 megawatts, wants to incentivize another 3,750 MW of the renewable energy through a new program approved Wednesday.

The Garden State’s push to become one of the early adopters of offshore wind farms off the Mid-Atlantic coast of the United States has riled some residents, the fishing industry and at least one environmental group that wants prudent development.

Joseph Fiordaliso began as a high school teacher before jumping into politics. His winding road to president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, which oversees approvals of offshore wind farms, includes a bit of luck and a lot of “learning on the job.”

An Associated Press analysis shows that the recent heat wave struck places that are warming up faster than other parts of the United States

China and Russia have joined the United States in pledging climate cooperation at a global summit led by President Joe Biden.

President Joe Biden faces a vexing task as he convenes a virtual climate summit on Thursday.

American offshore wind farms, of which there are 17 in the works for the Atlantic Ocean, are no longer far off on the horizon. The overall magnitude of this emerging renewable energy industry is starting to take shape.

The first wave of offshore wind farms are being considered for the Mid-Atlantic between North Carolina and Massachusetts. Advocates are pushing for hundreds of the nearly Eiffel Tower-sized turbines by 2030. Here’s why they are considered key to America’s energy future.

Pennsylvania has long lagged behind other states, including New Jersey, in its embrace of solar power. But a new report showed twice as many new megawatts of the renewable energy installed last year as 2018 and 2019 combined.

Atlantic Shores, one of two developers with federal leases for offshore wind developments along the New Jersey coast, came to an agreement with local unions that could create “hundreds and hundreds” of clean energy jobs in the next decade.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says the state is spending $100 million on reducing carbon emissions in garbage trucks, school buses and passenger buses.

The musk ox survived two ice ages and came back from near extinction. But their greatest threat to date might come from the unstable temperatures of climate change. Today, a musk ox farm in Alaska is working to preserve these ice age throwbacks.
