Neurotoxic pesticides blamed for the decline of honeybees is also harming butterflies, worms, fish, and birds, and contaminating habitats worldwide which are crucial for food production and wildlife, scientists have concluded after a four-year assessment.
A truly clear sky in most cases will reveal a brownish horizon for anyone in a major population area. Even a clear sky is not truly clear any more, as the planet has been “dimmed” by over 20% after decades of spraying.
Independent scientists have confirmed that fracking by Range Resources in Parker County, TX polluted a resident’s drinking water with dangerous levels of methane from the Barnett Shale.
From aerosols iron fertilization of the sea to cloud seeding and greening deserts, scientists are conjuring up an increasing array of geoengineering techniques to battle climate change. But this type of ‘climate engineering’ will ultimately fail to prevent global warming, according to a new report
In a groundbreaking article at farmwars.info, Barbara Peterson makes a stunning connection between GMO food crops and chemtrails. Peterson has looked into a Monsanto patent that expands the genetic engineering of food crops. Engineering for what purpose? Overcoming the destructive presence of heavy metals like aluminum and barium in the soil. These are metals which have often been reported in globally sprayed chemtrails.
The controversial High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) project in Alaska is to be completely dismantled after it is shut down at the end of the summer. Initially established back in 1993, HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) has been the subject of conspiracy theories for years. The project’s official goals were to analyze the Earth’s ionosphere and to investigate the possibilities for ionospheric enhancement technology, but now after more than three decades of experiments its funds have finally run dry with a shut down date scheduled for later this year.
Two widely used neonicotinoids—a class of insecticide—appear to significantly harm honey bee colonies over the winter, particularly during colder winters, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH).
On Saturday, May 17, join communities around the country to ask the president and local officials to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, offshore drilling, and other dirty fuel projects that threaten our communities and destabilize our climate.
A new study from Harvard implicates two neonicotinoid pesticides, imidacloprid and clothianidin, in the ongoing plague of honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder. Imidacloprid is the most widely used pesticide in the world, and both are approved by the EPA.
Fracking may cause earthquakes much farther from the sites of its wastewater wells than previously thought, researchers said here Friday (May 2) at the annual meeting of the Seismological Society of America.
The coalition of cowboys and Indians offers a radical departure from the environmental movement long criticized for being led by the so-called Big Greens — largely white, middle class membership groups whose interests don’t often represent those actually living in the frontline communities where the pipeline will be built. Moreover, it is a model of relationship-based organizing.
Radiation produced by fracking can accumulate in the water we drink, the fish we eat, and the soil in which our food grows.
Problems with Plastic and What YOU Can Do About It – Written, Illustrated, and Narrated by High School Senior Tess Havas. Tess is a high school senior at The Center School in Seattle, Washington. As part of her senior project, she created this video to spread awareness about the effects of plastic pollution on the ocean and our health. Next year Tess plans on attending Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore to create more visuals about important issues.
China is submitting proposals to its national legislature that would amend the country’s environmental protection law for the first time in 25 years. “China’s coal consumption has become the single most significant determinant for the future of the world’s climate,” reports Greenpeace.
Today, the world marks the 28th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe – the biggest man-made disaster in history. Here is some chilling video footage showing what Chernobyl looks like now.
