The number of nesting females on the […]

Potent Heat-Trapping Gases Being Smuggled Into Europe

Smugglers are illegally moving refrigerants into Europe that, when leaked from air conditioners and refrigerators, pose a significant threat to the climate. These refrigerants, called hydrofluorocarbons, only stay in the atmosphere for around 15 years, but they trap hundreds or thousands of times more heat than carbon dioxide. While regulators are working to curtail their use, the substances are still […]

A Nuclear Power Revival Is Sparking a Surge in Uranium Mining

After sitting dormant since the 1980s, the Pinyon Plain uranium mine began operating in January on the Kaibab National Forest in Arizona, about seven miles south of the Grand Canyon.

Noisy Summer Ahead for U.S. as Dueling Broods of Cicadas Emerge

This month will see swarms of big, noisy, chirping cicadas begin to emerge in the U.S. as two large broods take flight at the same time. Cicadas spend years underground feeding on sap from tree roots, before they eventually arise for a single summer of mating and revelry, and then die. This summer two separate broods, one that emerges every […]
