Mitigating the effects of ocean acidification: Conservation of shoreline plants and seaweed could preserve coral and shellfish habitats

According to a study by ecologists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), marine vegetation can help minimize ocean acidification. Based on the results of the study, marine plants and seaweeds that live in shallow coastal ecosystems may have a crucial role in helping address the aftermath of ocean acidification. Thriving marine life in shoreline environments may […]

Smartphones are a significant threat to the world’s climate, research reveals

Smartphones and other internet-connected gadgets are incredibly important for navigating the current century. These devices have effectively replaced many analog alternatives, such as radios, cameras, and even desktop computers. In fact, they’ve been able to replace non-material things as well, such as money, most forms of identification, and even health records. Yet for all their […]

The latest left-wing ecological insanity: Clear-cutting forests to burn the trees for “green” energy

In the interest of stopping “global warming,” government officials in the United Kingdom have partnered with companies and governments in the state of Virginia to hack down large swaths of southern hardwood forest in order to create “biomass” energy for use across the pond. Since continuing to burn native fossil fuels like coal won’t help […]

Financial incentives to preserve tropical forests can’t compare to potential profits from clearing

Conservation of tropical forests take time, effort, and ultimately money. According to a study published in Nature Communications, efforts to protect tropical forests in Southeast Asia may fail due to low financial incentives. The study, led by researchers from the University of East Anglia, found that strategies developed to protect tropical forests such as a carbon finance scheme may not generate enough […]

More green for green power: Investors are migrating from the fossil fuel industry toward alternative energy

Times are truly changing especially for green power. Renewable energy, once limited to off-the-grid energy sources which pale in comparison to traditional energy, is steadily gaining ground. In November last year, Norway, one of Europe’s largest oil producers, had announced that it is looking to divest its funding of international petroleum companies. The country’s own […]

Renewable energy in the U.K. generated triple the amount of power from coal in 2017, study reveals

Based on the study of data concerning energy figures, in 2017 wind farms in the U.K. produced more energy compared to coal plants for more than 75 percent of days in the last year. According to the website MyGridGB, solar energy also surpassed coal “more than half the time.” In general, figures up to December 12 […]

Scientists accidentally admit rapid global warming happened 56 million years ago, LONG before humans, cars and combustion engines

Global warming has been a subject of intense debate for years; there’s no doubt about that. But, it seems that much for the fanfare surrounding “climate change” may be nothing more than simple fear-mongering. Recent research from the University of California at Riverside has pointed to a substantial global warming event — one that occurred […]

Proof the Earth regulates carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, self-adjusting for warming or cooling temperatures

The catastrophic man-made global warming theory has gained worldwide acceptance despite a serious lack of scientific evidence to back it up. Anyone who dares to question the theory is quickly labeled an anti-science quack. Nonetheless, many reputable studies cast doubt on this theory. The latest such study was conducted by the Marine Biological Laboratory in […]
