What's an (allegedly) easy way to reduce your energy use? Dry your clothes in the great outdoors.




Massachusetts v. EPA

The Supreme Court heard its first global warming case yesterday and they'll look at the scientific data to behind the crisis. Meanwhile, we see new data about our warming planet every day.




Cold Storage: 10,000 Leagues Under The Sea

Could the deep, blue sea hold the key to our carbon emissions problem?

Scientists are investigating whether greenhouse gases can be permanently trapped in cold storage on the ocean floor.




Vines to Swallow Backyards, Earth

Posted by Su Avasthi on July 23, 2006 - 6:36pm.

It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi horror flick. Vines are growing stronger, faster and, in some cases, more poisonous as they mercilessly swallow whatever lies in their path.

Now that it's past Memorial Day and you can officially sport those white linen pants, it's time to worry about all the unwanted side effects of summer: things like mosquitos, ticks, and the camper's sworn enemy, poison ivy. And according to a study published this week, poison ivy just might be coming your way in a nastier variety, thanks to increasing carbon dioxide emissions.




Not All Power Plants Created Equal

Emissions of two air pollutants from the U.S.'s largest electricity generators have fallen since 1990, while emissions of carbon dioxide, the most significant human-caused greenhouse gas, have been steadily rising, according to new research. A report issued by the environmental nonprofit NRDC, the sustainable investment group Ceres, and the utility Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), found that government regulation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) helped significantly reduce emissions of the pollutants. CO2 is not subject to government regulation.




Meet Rick Cook, Beau Ideal of Green Architects

Meet Rick Cook, Beau Ideal of Green ArchitectsPosted by alittle on March 23, 2006 - 8:14pm.

Of the many rising stars in the field of green architecture, Richard Cook is arguably the brightest. He has a theoretical rigor and passion for sustainability on par with William McDonough. He has the design ingenuity of Frank Gehry. So it’s not surprising that Cook is quickly making his name known among the vanguard of 21st century architects.




Yes, and the Sun Revolves Around the Earth

Yes, and the Sun Revolves Around the EarthPosted by Hillary Rosner on March 20, 2006 - 6:49pm.

Climate scientists are shaking their heads in disbelief over a press release from the UK's University of Leicester about a "new theory to explain global warming." According to a Russian researcher, rising global temperatures are the result not - as is now nearly universally accepted among climate experts - of increased carbon dioxide levels but of a meteor that crashed in Siberia at the turn of the century.




New Forests Aren't Always Green

Planting trees may not be as perenially green as you might think – at least that’s what scientists at Duke University found. Tree-planting is generally viewed as a no-brainer
