WiltonBulletin: Fairfield County is the 24th most ozone-polluted county in the United States, according to the American Lung Associations 2016 State of the Air report.

Nonetheless, Wilton resident and American Lung Association of the Northeast Chair Jonathon Rosen said he was shocked to see Fairfield Countys failing grades and learn that...

Technique from biology helps explain the evolution of the American car
2016-07-03 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A UCLA-led team of researchers has taken a unique approach to explain the way in which technologies evolve in modern society. Borrowing a technique that biologists might use to study the evolution of plants or animals, the scientists plotted the "births" and "deaths" of every American-made car and truck model from 1896 to 2014. In addition to uncovering interesting insights about the auto industry, the strategy -- which could be used to study the evolution of phones, music, TVs or any number of...

Washington Post: In June, NASA scientists provided a visualization of a startling climate change trend the Earth is getting greener, as viewed from space, especially in its rapidly warming northern regions. And this is presumably occurring as more carbon dioxide in the air, along with warmer temperatures and longer growing seasons, makes plants very, very happy. Now, new research in Nature Climate Change not only reinforces the reality of this trend which is already provoking debate about the overall climate...

Raw Story: The bangs and fizzes of fireworks are rapidly replacing the chimes of Big Ben as the defining sound of New Year's Eve celebrations in London, while around the world, city landmarks are becoming stages for increasingly spectacular pyrotechnic displays. Since the millennium, the popularity of fireworks has even extended into back gardens, where smaller fireworks or sparklers are lit up at the stroke of midnight. Fireworks are great fun. We all enjoy guessing the colours of the rockets before they...
