Just How Polluting Is Your SUV? This New Campaign Might Shock YouSUVs are among the most popular cars on American roads, and over the last decade their popularity has exploded in the U.K. But a new British campaign is highlighting some ugly facts about these oversized run-arounds.

Is Planting a Trillion Trees going to Solve all of Our Problems?

Planting trees doesn’t always help with climate changeReforestation is seen as a way to help cool the climate, sucking excess warming carbon out of the atmosphere. But it’s not always that simple, writes Michael Marshall.

Why planting more trees may not help cool the planet“Climate change is good for plants.” It’s a classic refrain of climate change skeptics, and, under certain controlled conditions, they’re not wrong. Because carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis, increasing carbon dioxide availability can stimulate plant growth. However, scientists have repeatedly explained that the effects of carbon dioxide on plants are not so simple.

Climate change: Planting new forests 'can do more harm than good'Large-scale tree planting to fight climate change may backfire, two new studies have found.

Planting trees can be one tool to fight climate change - if we do it rightAround the world, there is a major push to plant trees, but the process is much more complicated than it seems on the surface.
