   Circumstantial evidence points to climate change as worsening the deadly deluge that just flooded Dubai and other parts of the Persian Gulf, but scientists didn’t discover the definitive fingerprints of greenhouse gas triggered warming they have seen in other extreme weather events, a new report...

   Oil is an important natural resource for many industries, but it can lead to serious environmental damage when accidentally spilled. While large oil spills are highly publicized, every year, there are many smaller scale spills into lakes, rivers, and oceans.

   At a time of rising food costs and growing food insecurity, a large percentage of food grown for consumption never reaches our tables.

   When I first wrote about geoengineering in , it was considered far fetched at best, and crazy by most. But years later, while there is still controversy and considerable resistance to deploying it, respectable scientists and institutions are pushing for more research into geoengineering the...
