Low-cost innovation regulates building temperatures while slashing energy use
Sweating Planet: Rising temperatures are transforming vast regions of the planet into unbearably hot environments. While air conditioning is effective at cooling indoor spaces, it is also an enormous drain on energy resources. As a result, scientists are seeking innovative solutions that can provide comparable cooling without consuming excessive energy or resources.

Intel has a new plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions during chip manufacturing
Forward-looking: Chip making is a dirty, polluting business, with companies exploiting dangerous chemicals and producing huge amounts of CO2 to turn sand into technological wonders. Intel has published a new plan that aims to effectively tackle the environmental issue – at least when it comes to gas emissions.

Mycorrhizal fungi help a third of all fossil fuel emissions get absorbed into soil
Why it matters: The mycelial underground network of mycorrhizal fungi helps store a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the soil. So much, in fact, that scientists are studying a way to exploit the fungi's capabilities to mitigate environmental issues brought by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The United Nations want to study solar geoengineering to fight climate change
The big picture: Efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions aren't working, and the world is on track to exceed the 1.5° C limit set with the Paris Agreements goal. As such, emergency "temporary" measures like Solar Radiation Modification should be considered to buy humanity more time to avoid the worst.
Scientists propose firing moon dust into space to solve climate crisis
Using a rail gun
WTF?! In what sounds like the plot from a sci-fi movie, researchers have proposed a potential solution to the climate crisis: create a shield around the earth by blasting dust mined from the moon into space using a rail gun.
