What Is Agricultural Use? We all know the story, and the percentages: of water used by human beings in California (i.e. not going to environmental uses), agriculture uses a whopping 80%. So it makes little sense to call on urban users to conserve, so the story goes, until ag goes first. Certainly nonprofits like Food and Water Watch think so: As drought and climate change continue to wreak havoc on California’s water supply, an environmental advocacy group is calling on the state to limit the c
Australian environment minister Tanya Plibersek has blocked a proposed open-pit coal mine just six miles from the Great Barrier Reef, raising hopes among advocates that she will block other potentially destructive projects.

Black History Month, for me, has always been a time to celebrate Black people, and our contributions to society. As a first-generation American, I’m also reflecting on and grateful for the avenues that were made available for my parents when they emigrated to the United States in the late 1980s: Black people in America made it possible for them to come and seek opportunities.

Winter storms, which are now raging across the country, are a stark reminder of how important it is for people to prepare for extreme weather, and how catastrophic things can get if they don’t. In 2021, Winter Storm Uri killed at least 246 Texans. Eight percent of those deaths were attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. Without electricity or heat, some people apparently turned to portable generators, which can fill a home with carbon monoxide exhaust.

I have to admit that at first I didn’t see the Chinese spy balloon drifting into US airspace as the crisis that it would, well, balloon into. Countries spend large amounts of resources spying on each other, expanding their methods as new technologies become available, this is well-known. High-altitude intelligence gathering is routine. As a frequent user of the UCS Satellite Database , I know that China fields more satellites than any other nation besides the United States and that China fields
With the Ukraine war, international collaborations with Russia on Arctic research and governance have been strained or broken off. This loss of critical cooperation is compromising efforts to confront mounting environmental risks in the Arctic, from shrinking sea ice to pollution.

Earlier this week, the decision in Bartell Ranch v. McCullough generally supported the Bureau of Land Management’s review under NEPA and related statutes of a lithium mine near Thacker Pass, Nevada. If approved, Thacker Pass would be the largest lithium mine in the United States. The decision and the entire review of the mine are important, given how controversial large mining projects can be and how important lithium and other minerals are to building a zero-emission economy.

Science is naturally conservative and the scepticism to new ideas ensures high scientific quality. We have more confidence when different scholars arrive at the same conclusion independently of each other. But scientific research also brings about discoveries and innovations, and it typically takes time for such new understanding to receive acknowledgement and acceptance.
by Angharad Brewer Gillham, Frontiers science writer Image/Shutterstock.com Studies on mosquito feeding behavior are crucial to fighting malaria, dengue, and other mosquito-borne pathogens – but traditionally, they require humans or animals to act as meals for the mosquitoes. Scientists have developed a biomaterial which mimics skin, right down to blood under the surface, to make studies on mosquito feeding easier to run.
