Citizen: It takes a lot to get me angry. For years, I tolerated slanders against my profession, because I thought that taunters go away if you ignore them. I laughed at ludicrous remarks by manipulators trying to rewrite reality. I shrugged off insulting comments and inferences, knowing they had no truth in them. But this year, this election cycle, has shown me the error of my ways. Silent tolerance gives free reign to the worst elements of society and, when such of these vie for the highest office in our...

Straits Times: Climate change may have fuelled the outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus in Latin America and made it harder for developing countries to manage future epidemics, researchers said. Record-high temperatures last year in Brazil, Ecuador and other South American countries created ideal conditions for the mosquito that transmits the Zika virus, which is suspected of causing birth defects, scientists said in a conference call with reporters on Friday. The researchers, who cautioned that any...

But almost all of the nation`s commercial hopyards are located in just three states: Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Washington alone produces nearly three-quarters of all the nation`s hops. In 2015, an estimated 71 percent of U.S. hops were...

Some trees might slow climate change better than others

AOL: Planting trees to help fight climate-change works, right? Well, according to a new study that's not always the case. It turns out that conifer trees, like evergreens, may actually cause temperature increases where they've taken root in place of broad-leafed trees. For example, look at Europe where the study was focused. Once upon a time, its forests were largely leafy deciduous trees. Now, a majority of Europe's trees are managed by humans, and we've been planting trees like pines and spruces...
