In a controversial move, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump’s leadership has proposed revoking the 2009 “endangerment finding” — the scientific and legal basis that allows greenhouse gas emissions to be regulated under the Clean Air Act. This landmark decision, originally rooted in decades of climate science, declared that carbon dioxide and other
Geologists have confirmed that a monumental tectonic event is unfolding in East Africa — the African continent is literally splitting apart, and a new ocean is forming in the process. The East African Rift System, which stretches across Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, is one of the few places on Earth where you can watch

In Australia, farmers are pioneering a unique approach called solar grazing, where sheep are allowed to graze beneath solar panels, creating a win-win scenario for renewable energy production and agriculture. This dual-use strategy—also known as agrivoltaics—helps manage vegetation naturally, reducing the need for mechanical mowing and chemical herbicides. The solar panels provide shade, keeping sheep
