Awe-inspiring. A NASA camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite has returned its first view of the entire sunlit side of Earth from one million miles away.

The camera takes a series of 10…
In the week that we noted the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, I can't say I ever imagined I would find myself combining the thoughts of Papa Francesco [the Catholic Pope] in his second encyclical letter [LAUDATO SI’] and the assessment of "Mordy Pressing" - Australian Immigration Policy Interpreter and his views on the new sliding scale of ethics. Yet here…

Then, another average is calculated for each month of the…

The Age newspaper reports: A study in Australia’s eucalypt forests has revealed that levels of carbon and greenhouse gases released in wildfire could be reduced by fuel reduction burning, or planned burns conducted prior to the bushfire season in high risk forests.

Data collected and analysed by the Bureau of Meteorology show that 2014 was Australia's third-warmest year on record while rainfall was near average nationally. Nationally, Australian temperatures have warmed approximately one degree since 1950, and the continued warmth in 2014 adds to this long-term warming trend. Simply the single most pressing and present public policy issue of our time. Yes,…
