Some rodents in South America carry arenaviruses and hantaviruses. Climate change may bring both to regions where neither is currently a threat., Read MoreContinue Reading
Despite regional variability in climate, electricity sources, congestion, and the wide variation in individual driving patterns, electric vehicles generate less greenhouse gas emissions and do not cost more than comparable gas-powered vehicles for drivers and vehicle fleet owners in most parts of the United States, according to a new studyContinue Reading
Changes would allow companies to begin more construction before an air permit is issued—ramping up the pressure for permit approval. By Charles Paullin The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced proposed changes Monday that would allow gas power plants, data centers and factories to begin construction on non-polluting components such asContinue Reading

Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The slowdown has been detected across a vast region of the North Atlantic over nearly two decades. Since this ocean circulation helps regulate weather and temperatures, changes could affect storms, rainfall, seaContinue Reading
