Antarctica has cooled – not warmed up – over the last 40 years
As a whole, the Antarctic has cooled by about 2 degrees Celsius in the same 40-year period (1979 to 2018) that carbon dioxide rose from 337 to 410 parts per million – meaning that the world is actually getting colder, not hotter. A paper published in the journal Atmosphere noted that the trends from ERA5 are consistent […]

EPA to ban the use of chlorpyrifos pesticide as it poses dangers to children
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Wednesday, Aug. 18, announced that it will ban the use of chlorpyrifos on food crops to address health concerns for farmers and children. Chlorpyrifos is a common pesticide that has been widely used on crops such as soybeans, fruits, nut trees, broccoli and cauliflower since 1965. However, it has recently been […]

Switzerland puts geoengineering on UN agenda
Switzerland wants the United Nations’ environmental arm to take the lead on talks about how to use an untested technology that tampers with nature to slow down climate change. The technology involves geoengineering techniques that reflect the sun’s rays away and suck carbon from the atmosphere. These techniques have long been talked about as last-resort solutions to stem […]

Water shortage on Colorado River poses severe challenge for Arizona farmers
Mandatory cutbacks pose a major challenge for Arizona farmers next year as the federal government declared water shortage on the Colorado River for the first time, reducing water allotments for some states and Mexico. This declaration by the Bureau of Reclamation has been anticipated for months. It was triggered by the spiraling decline of water levels […]

Study finds pesticides kill bees even below recommended doses
A new study from the University of California, Riverside revealed that a common class of insecticides is harmful to bees even below recommended doses. Neonicotinoids are insecticides that protect plants from harmful insects like aphids; however, they can also seriously harm beneficial insects like bees. This insecticide, which is chemically similar to nicotine, is widely used by commercial growers. […]

Study: The sun may have more to do with global warming than carbon dioxide
A peer-reviewed paper produced by a team of almost two dozen scientists concluded that the sun may be the main cause of warmer temperatures, not the carbon dioxide emissions blamed by the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The paper also said that previous studies did not adequately consider the role of solar energy […]

Hoover Dam water levels at all-time low, endangering the power grid in Western states
Water levels at the Hoover Dam have sunk to a record low, and it’s endangering the source of hydroelectric power for over 1.3 million people across the American West. The water level at Lake Mead, the Colorado River reservoir serving Hoover Dam, has fallen to 1,068 feet above sea level in July, the lowest it […]

China to halt thousands of hydropower projects as older dams pose serious safety threats
China is weaning its economy off coal and fossil fuels. However, it is also trying to shut down as many as 40,000 hydropower plants. The nation has a troubled history of trying to control its rivers. Since Chairman Mao Zedong urged workers in the 1950s to “conquer nature,” China has been creating dams in large […]

Plastic particles in fish a cause for concern
In 2015, a brown bullhead pulled from Hamilton Harbor in Ontario set the record for having the most synthetic particles ever recorded in a fish. The fish contained 915 particles of microplastics, synthetic materials containing flame retardants or plasticizers, dyed cellulose fibers and more in its body. Keenan Munno, then a graduate student at the University […]

Geoengineering and weather modification: The dangers of environmental modification techniques
Extreme weather conditions have affected the entire planet in 2021, and experts are saying that the causes must be investigated properly, as they cannot be simply attributed to the so-called “climate change.” In fact, it should be understood that advanced and sophisticated environmental modification techniques (ENMOD) are fully operational. Reports show that ENMOD techniques have been […]
