‘Fundamentally unstable': Scientists confirm their fears about East Antarctica's biggest glacier
The Totten glacier ice region is bigger than California, and could raise seas by over 10 feet if it entirely collapsed.
The expiration dates on our food could be contributing to a huge environmental problem
The surprising factor that's causing people to throw away perfectly good food.
 
Why Trump’s idea of ‘renegotiating’ the Paris climate agreement is so bizarre
The GOP presidential contender said he's "not a big fan" of the historic international accord.
 
‘Climate change is going to drive a lot of change in the national parks.’
100 years after Woodrow Wilson created the National Park Service to conserve the country's natural and historic wonders, it's not all a celebration.

Greenhouse gas emissions from this surprising source could doom the Paris climate accord goal
There's no way the U.N. can realize climate goals reached in Paris without lowering greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
 
Climate change doubters really aren’t going to like this study
In a "blind expert test," economists and statisticians disagreed with the claims of those who challenge climate science.
 
‘Expect the unexpected': Obama's climate agenda hits another legal surprise
In a surprising decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit decided to kick this high profile case to a larger panel of judges.
 
Even for the fast-melting Arctic, 2016 is in ‘uncharted territory’
Scientists are running out of superlatives to describe the Arctic this year.
 
 
Why even the people who worry the most about climate change often take little action
Even in Bernie Sanders's home state of Vermont, climate worriers can feel powerless.
 
Air pollution doesn’t just make breathing harder for humans. In the Pacific, fish are choking, too.
Microbes that are the foundation of the ocean food chain are eating our pollution. That's bad for fish, and it's bad for us.
 
This disease is killing California trees by the millions, but scientists urge against giving up
Scientists say we've got to keep fighting the devastating 'sudden oak death' pathogen.
 
Shell’s Brutus production platform spills oil into Gulf of Mexico
The company estimated the size of the spill at 2,100 barrels.

More bad news for honeybees: Beekeepers lost nearly half their colonies in the past year
A variety of factors seem to be continuing to harm bee colonies.
 
How we get energy is changing fast — and it's sparking a huge fight over forecasting the future
The government's latest international energy projections left out key information, critics say.
 
Obama and Nordic leaders: Economic activity in the Arctic must pass climate test
President Obama and the leaders of five Nordic nations will agree Friday to apply strict environmental standards and climate goals to commercial activities in the Arctic.
