On a mere 1% of farmland, solar panels could provide 20% of US electricity

Agrivoltaics could also provide jobs and boost rural livelihoods, while cutting carbon emissions

Jan 2021 14

How do renewable energy sources hold up in a warming world?

Pretty well overall. A new study shows that the impact climate change will have on the supply of wind, hydro, solar, and other renewable energy sources is modest.

Scientists pinpoint a protein that protects corals from heat death

The work may guide selective breeding and other conservation efforts in the face of rapidly warming oceans

Jan 2021 12

Whether COVID-19 is a tipping point for climate action depends on what happens next

The pandemic knocked 2020 emissions back to 2007 levels. An analysis of stimulus policies in 41 countries shows how the savings could be cancelled out—or enhanced.

A drastic revolution in the way we eat and farm could limit habitat lost to agriculture to a mere 1%

Alternatively, researchers found, if we don’t change our food systems, habitat losses will affect tens of thousands of species by 2050

EV emissions depend on the time of day that you charge them

The varying mix of renewables by the hour on power grids across the US significantly impacts how much EVs reduce emissions

Jan 2021 6

Nearly a century after being extirpated, blue whales are moving back to South Georgia Island

Now that whaling has been outlawed for decades, populations are beginning to heal—but they face new threats.

Jan 2021 5

Does climate change concern drop during a global pandemic?

Not at all, researchers find—evidence that casts doubt on the “finite pool of worry” hypothesis

Dec 2020 23

Study ties amphibian collapses with increased malaria outbreaks

If you remove frogs and other "mosquito-reducers" from the landscape, what happens to malaria rates?

Dec 2020 22

Researchers have hit on a widely available solution for decarbonizing fertilizer production

On multiple environmental measures, “peecycling” almost always comes out ahead
