The Department of the Interior has released a new scientific integrity policy that sets a strong standard for the administration, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. Below is a statement from Michael Halpern, Program Manager at the Center for Science and Democracy: “The Department of the Interior’s new scientific integrity policy is simplified, streamlined, … Continue reading Department of Interior Leads the Way on Scientific Integrity

Activity in the brain flows in opposite directions from internal thoughts and external information.

Humans have greatly increased the amount of toxic mercury in the environment, without really knowing the full impacts.

A team of U.S researchers made a breakthrough expedition in West Antarctic finding life and an active ecosystem one-half mile below the surface proving that Antarctica is not a dead continent.

Research indicates that bees are being infected with viruses that have jumped from plants.

Global average temperatures will rise at least 4°C by 2100 and potentially more than 8°C by 2200 if carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced, according to new research published in Nature that shows our climate is more sensitive to carbon dioxide than most previous estimates.

A new study shows that the observed outgassing near Svalbard could be caused by natural temperature variations and may not be attributed to global warming.

In a major new international report, ‘experts’ have reached the ultra-conservative conclusion that the acidity of the world’s ocean may increase by around 170% by the end of the century. This will wipe out most life in the oceans and greatly reduce the planet’s supply of oxygen.

Changes in solar activity have contributed no more than 10 per cent to global warming in the twentieth century, a new study has found.

Research suggests that narrow stripes of dirt and rock beneath massive Antarctic glaciers create friction zones that slow the flow of ice toward the sea.

Canada’s current federal government is anti-science and has tried to subvert and suppress science to support an agenda that supports criminal corporations at the expense of the environment and public health. Now scientists are letting the world know what is going on.

New research supports previous research on how to trigger an out of body experience and provides a new technique.

Human influences are having an impact on some extreme weather and climate events, but maybe not all.

Another study published in a peer-reviewed science journal shows how cell phones can cause cancer.

How much will ocean levels rise due to humanity’s alteration of the atmosphere – 2.3 meters per 1 degree of warming says Oregon Researchers.

An iceberg a quarter the size of Rhode Island recently broke off Antarctica but the rift was noticed back in 2011.

As temperatures rise, more snakes eat more baby birds which means more mosquitoes which means more disease and even more pressure on bird populations.

Spurred by increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, forests over the last two decades have become dramatically more efficient in how they use water, a Harvard study has found.

Some scientists are claiming that bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) can reverse the global warming trend and push temperatures back down, but there are conditions that must first be met.

It might be cold in the Antarctic, but that doesn’t mean that life there necessarily moves slowly.

A team of U.S. and U.K. scientists has found geologic evidence that casts doubt on one of the conventional explanations for how Antarctica’s ice sheet began forming.

With all the conventional diagnosis for cancer, HCG urinalysis is one test which could offer non-invasive, cost-effective and can even determine cancer before symptoms develop.

Atmospheric CO2 has big consequences for the tiny bacteria that are the foundation of most life in the sea.
