A startup says shipping meltwater from Greenland’s glaciers internationally will boost the local economy and could help ease water pressures in arid regions—but what does that actually mean for the world?

In case you haven't heard, the methane in cow burps is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay reduces their methane emissions by over 30%.

Iron is a micronutrient indispensable for life, enabling processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, and DNA synthesis. Iron availability is often a limiting resource in today's oceans, which means that increasing the flow of iron into them can increase the amount of carbon fixed by phytoplankton, with consequences for the global climate.

The Army National Guard has known about poisonous lead dust at armories open to the public for years, but is doing little to respond.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or GPGP for short, isn't exactly what you might have heard. It's not a floating garbage land-mass twice the size of Texas that you can settle, even though it kind of already has its own currency (called Debris), a flag, and passports made of recycled plastic ... and…

Pittsburgh — A Pennsylvania-based fracking company is the subject of controversy after one of its projects was listed as an environmental justice initiative under a federal government program by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

An environmental monitoring project conducted by CNX Resources, a natural gas company headquartered in Pittsburgh, was included on a list of Justice40 efforts related to the federally funded Appalachian Hydrogen Hub in a document recently released by the Department of Energy. The hub is a network of infrastructure that will create hydrogen for energy use. It’s part of a nationwide initiative to advance hydrogen production with the goal of decreasing climate-warming carbon emissions in the U.S.

All of Kalamazoo’s city-owned buildings will run on wind and solar power in 2028, saving more than $6 million on renewable energy, officials said.

Since the appointment of three Trump-nominated judges to the Supreme Court, the American public has endured a string of devastating SCOTUS decisions affecting everything from reproductive justice to voting and immigration rights to queer and trans rights.

New York City has lots of rats. Officials are trying to contain them by resorting to something many other cities have relied on for years.

Marine biologists looking at the shrinking mahi population in Florida, and its apparent movement away from the tropics, believe climate change may be taking a toll on Florida's most popular fish. As they try to untangle what warming seas could mean for deep water sea life, they brought WLRN and WWNO along.

Scientists project that Maine could lose 28-57% of its salt marshes by the end of the century — victims of rising seas, coastal development and polluted runoff, with consequences for biodiversity and storm resilience. Advocates across the coast are racing to give these ecosystems space to survive.

China leads the world in terms of renewable energy resources like solar power. And not just by a small margin either, making over twice as much solar power as the next highest country, the USA. Where do you store any excess solar energy for use when the sun isn't shining? Answer: in ridiculously…

A UN report proposes that the organization take a much more active role in the monitoring and oversight of AI.

A pair of Princeton engineers have developed a new kind of concrete that promises more than 5 times the damage resistance of the usual stuff, by poking holes in its structure.

• Japan is officially starting work on the world’s first ‘zeta-class’ supercomputer.
• When completed, the machine should run at least a full 1,000 times faster than the world’s current fastest supercomputer.
• The computer is expected to go online in 2030 and will cost the Japanese government an estimated $775 million.

Supercomputers have unequivocally changed our world. They’ve solved complex math problems, simulated massive physical systems, enabled breakthroughs in biology and medicine—name a scientific field, and it’s probably been impacted by supercomputing.

Environmental groups said Friday that a newly reported leak at the first CO2 injection site in the United States highlights the threat — and false promise — of carbon capture and storage efforts, which climate advocates have long criticized as a ploy by the fossil fuel industry to preserve its extractive business model.

E&E News reported Friday that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has “issued a violation notice to the operator of the country’s first carbon dioxide injection wells for permanent storage, alleging that the company hasn’t complied with its federal permit.”

The facility operator is Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), an agribusiness giant that has received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for carbon capture and storage (CCS) efforts — with underwhelming results.

The Heritage Foundation’s plan for a potential Trump second term has little time for schemes to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Leaves are already turning in northern New England, signaling that the region’s famed foliage season – estimated by the U.S. Forest Service to bring in $8

In announcing a huge new procurement of offshore wind earlier this month, Gov. Maura Healey said it would lower electricity costs for residents and businesses, but that's not very likely to be the case.

Engineers have created a thin film that can generate millivolts of electricity from ambient air humidity thanks to water's 'mean free path.'

Much of the food supply in the U.S. goes uneaten, which contributes to climate change. Some states have tried to cut food waste in landfills, but their efforts have fallen short, researchers found.

Taking a leaf out of the book of plants, scientists have used a photosynthesis blueprint to harness the power of sunlight and turn two of the most destructive greenhouse gases into useful, prized chemicals that can be then used for the production of fuels and play a vital role in manufacturing.
