New academic research shows that oil giant Exxon’s own climate projections, dating back decades, consistently predicted how burning fossil fuels would cause global warming. The finding lends statistical rigor to the understanding that Exxon executives knew climate change was real, but publicly cast doubt on the science anyway.
More of our coverage of the biggest story on the planet:
Ocean heat content reached a new record high in 2022, a new study found. The heat from human-caused global warming will persist in the deep ocean for centuries, scientists say.
A north Texas project hopes to be the first large-scale producer of clean hydrogen from water. Subsidies offered in the Inflation Reduction Act are helping to make “green hydrogen” technology more competitive with fossil fuels.
Some low-income school districts can’t utilize federal funds to switch to clean-energy school buses. That’s because the EPA requires districts to scrap their old diesel buses, but these districts don’t own their own buses.
