Weather Network: The verdict is in, and as far as a new study goes, mankind, not climate change, is guilty of driving mammoths to extinction. "We consistently find very large rates of extinction in areas where there had been no contact between wildlife and primitive human races, and which were suddenly confronted by fully developed modern humans," one of the study's authors, Jens-Christian Svenning of Aarhus University, told the Daily Mail. "In general, at least 30 per cent of the large species of animals disappeared...

On June 2 Obama and his administration took what some consider to be a very promising step in the direction of reducing our carbon emissions as a nation, by mandating new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations that focus mainly...

Independent: William Wordsworth found inspiration for his poetry in his environment, not least the golden daffodils he saw beside the lake. Then there was Winnie the Pooh who pondered a little more simply: The more it snows (Tiddely-Pom)/ The more it goes (Tiddely-Pom)/ The more it goes on snowing.

Rapid City Journal: Western coal production is expected to fall by over 30 percent in 2020 due to new federal pollution standards proposed for power plants, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency projections. The decline is anticipated to be offset in part by a rise in natural gas fired generation, which the EPA estimates may increase as much as 18 to 19 percent by 2030.
