Far from being mere tourist attractions or subjects of scientific study, the world’s glaciers function as essential infrastructure that sustains nearly half of humanity. These massive ice formations, covering just 10% of Earth’s land surface, provide the freshwater that billions…
Britain's record-breaking offshore wind auction secures clean energy at £91 per megawatt hour, powering 12 million homes by 2030. Meanwhile, the EPA will no longer calculate health benefits when evaluating air pollution rules, focusing only on industry costs.
The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it will no longer calculate the economic benefits of air pollution regulations, including healthcare savings and lives saved when restricting two of the most dangerous pollutants affecting public health. Under this policy shift, the…
The United States reversed its recent progress on climate pollution in 2025, with carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning rising 2.4% compared to the previous year, according to a new study from the Rhodium Group research firm released Tuesday. This…
As marine heat waves become increasingly common and severe along the US West Coast, scientists have discovered an innovative way to monitor how these extreme ocean temperatures affect fish populations: tracking commercial fishing vessels. A groundbreaking study published in the…
Climate scientists have confirmed that 2025 was the third-hottest year in recorded history, with human-driven fossil fuel emissions pushing global temperatures to dangerous new heights. According to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, last year’s average surface air temperature…
Multiple international climate agencies delivered a sobering assessment Tuesday, confirming that human-caused global warming accelerated relentlessly throughout 2025, with the most dramatic temperature increases occurring in Earth’s oceans and polar regions. For the third straight year, our planet’s average temperature…
As countries pursue rapid economic development through urban expansion and fossil fuel extraction, they’re paying a hidden cost that rarely appears on any balance sheet: the systematic destruction of natural ecosystems. Now, a growing field of environmental accountants is working…
Despite 2025's cooling, Earth just experienced its three hottest years on record as climate crisis accelerates. Australia approved destroying 57,000 hectares of threatened species habitat—a 15-year high. Meanwhile, researchers challenge widespread microplastics studies, citing laboratory contamination flaws.
Picture throwing a dart at a world map with the oceans removed—there’s a one-in-four chance you’d hit land used for grazing livestock. This staggering statistic underscores just how much of Earth’s surface is dedicated to raising animals for human consumption,…
