Actual climate observations disagree with “official” climate models, warns former NASA scientist
Climate models, upon which the Biden administration’s climate policies and “green” economic plans are based, do not reflect actual observations made by climate scientists in recent decades. President Joe Biden identified “climate change” as one of his top priorities when he took office. In February, he had the country rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement to prove its commitment […]

Over four billion pieces of plastic are polluting a remote Pacific island
More than four billion pieces of plastic from across the globe have hitched a ride on ocean currents, landing on the beaches of Henderson Island. The island, a remote and uninhabited coral atoll in the eastern South Pacific, was thought to be one of the last remaining pristine places on Earth. The discovery was made by […]

8 Easy ways to improve indoor air quality
The term “air pollution” often conjures up images of car exhaust, bush fires and thick fumes from factories. But indoor air pollution can be just as bad, if not worse, than outdoor air pollution. In fact, the air inside the home can be two to five times worse than the air outside, according to the Environmental Protection […]

Billions of microplastics particles are swirling around in the atmosphere
Experts consider plastic pollution as one of the most pressing environmental problems. Unfortunately, existing studies on microplastics – tiny pieces of plastic – have primarily focused on their impacts on rivers and oceans. Now, a study led by researchers from Utah State University (USU) and Cornell University revealed that microplastics “spiral around the globe” in the atmosphere. In fact, microplastics […]

Human fecal bacteria found in coral reefs more than 100 miles off Houston coast
Terrestrial runoffs from extreme flooding events normally only impact nearshore ecosystems like salt marshes, seagrass beds and oyster beds. So researchers from Rice University were shocked to discover human fecal bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), in a marine protected area about 100 miles off the coast of Houston. In particular, they found that runoff from the 2016 Tax […]

Pesticide “ghosts” can haunt organic farms for decades
Most commercial crops grown around the world are treated with pesticides. But some farms are now switching to organic practices to avoid the risks that pesticides pose to human and environmental health. However, new research shows that past pesticide use can still “haunt” fields that have long been converted into organic farms. Published recently in Environmental […]

More than half the world’s agricultural land is at risk of pesticide pollution, experts warn
New research revealed that 64 percent of global agricultural land is at risk while 31 percent is at high risk of pesticide pollution due to the widespread use of pesticides. According to the research published in the journal Nature Geoscience, Asia had the most land at risk with 1.9 million square miles – mostly in China, Japan, Malaysia and the […]

“Lost” ocean microplastics might be accumulating in estuaries, coastal environments
Marine microplastic pollution is a pervasive problem. Microplastics are small plastic fragments that form when larger pieces of plastic debris in aquatic environments break down due to exposure to the elements. But scientists have found that the amount of microplastic waste entering freshwater environments like streams and rivers differs from the amount of microplastic waste present in marine […]

Living near pesticide-treated farms raises risk of childhood brain tumors
Pregnant women living within 2.5 miles of agricultural lands treated with pesticides have a greater risk of their children developing central nervous system (CNS) tumors, according to a recent study. Published on Wednesday, March 31, in the Environmental Research journal, the study also revealed that the pregnant women did not have to be working in agriculture or in […]

Drought-resistant cactus pear could become a sustainable food and fuel source, new research shows
Cactus pears could become a sustainable source of food and fuel in places in need of these two resources. Those are the findings of a recent study by researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno. Published in the journal GCB Bioenergy, the study covered five years of research. The group had set out to look at how successful different varieties of […]
