A new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that US lawmakers opposing environmental protections get rewards from the oil and gas industry.
An article from Wired has an alarming headline that shows the impact of a fast-thawing permafrost gouging holes in the Arctic.
Coastal flooding is driving up the cost of housing in high-elevation Miami neighborhoods like Little Haiti.
From horses to camels to railroads to Interstate highways, humans have always sought faster and more convenient ways to move around the planet.
