In a nutshell: conservation biologists considered a perplexing problem -- the slow but steady unraveling of the Yellowstone ecosystem -- figured out what was causing it, and then proposed a bold solution that worked even better than expected.
Professor Ralph Keeling of Scripps Institute is worried. In fact, he's very worried.
According to the data Keeling's collected since 1989 the world is running out of breathable air--and the rate that it's losing oxygen is now on the verge of ac
"You Americans have lived an artificially high standard of living for a long time," a man working one our jobs outsourced to India wrote me. "It’s time you Americans drop to the poverty levels of the rest of the Third World."
The green prairie that used to surround his tent has become a brown desert. All that is left of the grasslands here are yellowing blotches on a stony surface riddled with rodent holes.
It is the same across much of this plateau, which encompasses an
At this point, it's impossible to tell whether hypoxia (low oxygen) from Big Ag's fertilizer runoff (more about that here) or toxins from BP's oil and dispersants killed the fish, or if some unholy conspiracy between the two performed the deed.
A recent article about state governments seizing the rights to rain water off your roof, elicited a comment that almost sounded like it was relevant; until you examined the actual available data. Because the of the convoluted logic used to make the
“Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don't take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair sh
With the global elite in a race against time to enforce their draconian eco-fascist agenda before more of the public realize that the entire climate change con is a rigged game, alarmists are getting increasingly desperate and transparently thuggish
Bartlett said, “People are dying from overpopulation, yet in the media and in our discussions, as the famed biologist Garrett Hardin has observed, "No one ever dies from overpopulation."”
Yet, the media, world leaders, U.S. leaders avoid, evade, ignore and suppress the population issue at all costs. Whether it’s their emotions, political correctness, or they love inhabiting LaLa land. (Let’s abdicate; Let's acquiesce!)
Many times, as a teacher in classrooms across this country, I shook my head and gnashed my teeth when students failed to understand simple mathematical equations. They just couldn’t work the problems. Not their faults, but their conditions.
Scientists on a research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico are finding a substantial layer of oily sediment stretching for dozens of miles in all directions. A lot of oil from the leak didn't evaporate or dissipate into the water — it has settled to the s
"He ignores the political polarization now splitting America, or how it influences people's habitat choices, or how the automobile completely redefined how people live. In short, a simplistic, deeply lacking book.”
Dr. Albert Bartlett responded to such ‘lack-of-reason’ thinking, “Innumerates, innumeracy is the mathematical equivalent of illiteracy, fail to recognize that after maturity, continued growth is either obesity or cancer.”
Joel Kotkin wrote a book celebrating America’s projected 100 million population growth by 2050. From our current 310 million to 400 million! Other reports (“US Population Projections” by Fogel/Martin) show 100 million added within 25 years and 138
“It’s time again to correct the educationally credentialed but innumerate experts (innumeracy is the mathematical equivalent of illiteracy) that growth is inevitable,” said Dr. Albert Bartlett. [or that endless growth can be sustained; it cannot!]
A Silent Forest is a documentary about the largely unknown potential danger to human health, and the environmental health of our planet, posed by the planned introduction of genetically engineered trees. Narrated by Dr. David Suzuki, the film lays ou
A: About 300 kilometers total. Four rivers were affected, the Grande River, the Piraí River, the Yapacaní River, and to a lesser extent the Ichilo River, all in the northwestern area of the department of Santa Cruz. This is the total of the leng
An oil and gas platform operated by Mariner Energy burst into flames on Thursday and unleashed a mile-long oil sheen into the Gulf of Mexico, in the region's first major offshore disaster since BP's oil spill began in April.
The senate blocks investigation of BP.The House voted 420 to 1 to give the presidential commission investigating the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico full subpoena power.The Senate blocked it.No subpoena powers. No real investigation.

As BP and Transocean officials struggled to contain the oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, they discovered that the plumbing on the blowout preventer was connected improperly, a BP executive testified Wednesday.
Today, nearby Pakistan suffers an enormous population: Canadian writer Madeline Weld wrote, "The population was 60 million when I was there in the 1960s, 180 million now and headed for 335 million by 2050.
Aside from the fact that most people wouldn't want it to go away until a viable substitute is found, I doubt that coercion of any kind will help scientists think harder or faster. Man's first moon landing came 66 years after Kitty Hawk. Could we ha
Petroleum-eating bacteria - which had dined for eons on oil seeping naturally through the seafloor - proliferated in the cloud of oil that drifted underwater for months after the April 20 accident. They not only outcompeted fellow microbes, they each
“Systemic collapse, societal collapse, the coming dark age, the great transformation, the coming crash, the post-industrial age, the long emergency, socioeconomic collapse, the die-off, the tribulation, the coming anarchy, perhaps even resource wars.
Each year, 57 million humans die worldwide. At the same time, at 6.8 billion copulating humans, another 134 million babies take their first breath—for a net gain of 77 million new mouths to feed, house, clothe and create a meaningful life on this pl
