In the wake of Gustav, three more tropical storms are lining up to pummel U.S. coasts.

There’s an environmental time bomb ticking beneath the Arctic soil. Scientists warn that global warming could release huge stores of carbon dioxide trapped in Arctic soils, immediately accelerating climate change and disastrously impacting the environment.
Scientists have long known that organic carbon frozen in the world’s permafrost, which blankets one-fifth of Earth’s land mass, will release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere […]
Global warming is melting Arctic ice and opening up new navigable ocean in the extreme Arctic north. The day is soon coming when Arctic Ocean waters the size of the United States will be ice-free and navigable for most of the summer.
In anticipation of coming commercial traffic, the U.S. Coast Guard has opened two temporary […]
The world just got one step closer to affordable, clean hydrogen fuel.

Are dire predictions of future water wars just overwrought environmentalists fanning the flames of fear? You be the judge.
By 2025, the United Nations estimates that two-thirds of the world’s population will live where water is scare. Unsafe drinking water kills more than 2 million people each year. This year, drought across swaths of Africa created waves of […]
The Great Lakes hold one-fifth of the world’s fresh surface water and 95% of the fresh surface water in the U.S. With droughts and the population shift from the Midwest into southern and western states, the eight states and two Canadian provinces that border the Great Lakes are sitting on a potential gold mine — […]
