Fossil Fuels

Aggressive restrictions will affect carbon, smog and soot emissions from compact cars all the way up to long-haul trucks

The greenhouse gas intensity of offshore oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico could be twice as much as government estimates

Some countries have used up far more of the world’s carbon budget—the amount we can emit and still avoid more extreme climate disruption—than others

The U.S. is in a better place to reach its climate goals after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, but the implementation of pollution rules and the outcome of the 2024 election could pose major hurdles

Scientists say countries need to cut emissions far deeper to prevent catastrophic warming. That fact will hang over delegates when they meet later this year at the annual U.N. climate talks

The IPCC’s latest climate assessment says the world must cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent by 2035, but the U.S. is already behind on a less ambitious target

The Nord Stream pipeline explosions happened in a dumping ground for chemical warfare, but other contaminants proved most toxic to marine life

Texas education officials adopted changes to internal guidance on textbooks that could steer schools to buy books that misinform students about global warming

A coalition of environmental and Indigenous groups is suing the Biden administration over the approval of the Willow oil- and gas-drilling project in Alaska, arguing the government failed to consider the climate risks, as well as harm to wildlife and subsistence hunting

India is at an energy crossroads: if it chooses fossil fuels, it could undermine global climate targets

Oil and gas facilities will soon be charged for releasing methane, but technologies to capture the potent greenhouse gas are still relatively new and untested

Scientists working for the oil giant Exxon in the 1970s and 1980s estimated temperature increases with remarkable accuracy. Those findings could now be used as evidence in climate litigation
