Rural backlash against green levies 'rooted in sense of unfairness'

A massive 30-year study reveals that climate-friendly diets provide unexpectedly strong nutritional outcomes and better energy for the body without meat-related deficiencies

Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, according to results from a novel method for detecting nanoplastics.

Widespread loss of marine sponges possible as heatwaves intensify

Amazon rainforest generates US $20 billion worth of rainfall each year

More than half of the world's coral reefs were bleached between 2014-2017 -- a record-setting episode now being eclipsed by another series of devastating heatwaves

Drug-Related Deaths Spike After Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

Agricultural waste could lock away carbon for decades if it were instead used in long-lasting building materials, fibrous residues from crops such as wheat, rice and maize, could act as a powerful carbon sink when diverted into construction products

Most climate studies only look at average temperatures, missing the full picture

Climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere more quickly than previously thought, introducing significant uncertainty into climate projections for the rest of the 21st.

Deforestation has turned parts of the Amazon into a savanna-like climate

Chemicals brought in to help protect our ozone layer (CFC replacements) have had the unintended consequences of spreading vast quantities of a potentially toxic ‘forever chemical’ around the globe

Researchers reconstructed emissions from Swedish wildfires and found that current climate estimates are failing to fully account for carbon released from smoldering organic soils.

Modern food chains on coral reefs off the coasts of the Dominican Republic and Panama are roughly 60 to 70 percent shorter than they were around 7,000 years ago, researchers report in Nature

Study links particulate matter/pollution exposure with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease

A first-of-its-kind study confirms that re-entering space debris from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket caused a massive lithium spike in Earth's upper atmosphere

Tree Bark Microbes Capture Greenhouse Gases, New Study Finds

Increasing applied pesticide toxicity trends counteract the global reduction target to safeguard biodiversity

Sediment cores suggest Antarctic ice-sheet meltwater reshaped global ocean circulation during past deglaciations by strengthening Southern Ocean stratification; findings imply ongoing Antarctic melt could alter heat and carbon transport…

University of Michigan study: Greenwashing Marine Conservation: The Use of Artificial Reefs for Fisheries and Coral Restoration Needs Oversight

The Amazon flipped to a net carbon source in 2023 releasing up to 170 million tons of CO2 as extreme heat—1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average—and drought weakened vegetation uptake more than fire activity according to new Max Planck Institute research.

A new study suggests that Canada could offset at least five times its current annual carbon emissions through targeted tree planting along the northern edge of the boreal forest

A new study using satellites to monitor 1,700 California ZIP codes shows that every 200 new EVs led to a 1.1% drop in nitrogen dioxide between 2019 and 2023, proving that even small upticks in adoption measurably improve air quality and reduce risks to heart and lung health.
