In a documentary, Expedition New Earth - part of the BBC's new science season Tomorrow's World - Hawking and his former student Christophe Galfard will travel the world to find out how humans could survive in outer space.

Last month, Hawking had warned that the aggressive instincts of humans, coupled with the fast pace of growth in technology may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war, adding that only a 'world government' may prevent this impending doom (read more...)

From electric cars to phasing out coal: These things can limit global warming to 1.5°C

After the climate talks in Marrakech, our climate mission remains the same as what was set out in the 2015 Paris Agreeement: to eliminate all carbon dioxide emissions by the middle of this century.

While the long-term focus is on 2050 or 2100, what matters now is the next ten years. If we miss bending the rising emissions curve downward by around 2020, we may well miss the chance to avoid the worst climate damage.

We looked at all the major emitting sectors and the most recent scientific analyses of what can be done – and how fast – to come up with a list of the most important things to do in the next five to ten years to bend the emissions curve downwards.

Phasing out coal

Electric cars

Zero energy building

Forests and agriculture

Removing carbon from the atmosphere
