Proposals to mine the ocean floor could do irreversible damage to deep-sea ecosystems
A new study looks at the potential damaging impacts of current global plans to mine the ocean floor, including physical destruction of deep-sea ecosystems by mining operations. The oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, of which 90 percent is considered deep sea. Despite this vastness, the seas and oceans are the least explored environments on […]

The USDA FAILS to enforce a key farm bill provision, much to the detriment of the residents of the Midwest who are now drinking contaminated water
For thirty-three years, corn and soybean growers in the Midwest have received billions of dollars in taxpayer funds in the form of farm subsidies.

Seaweed could save California’s coastline by reducing ocean acidification
Researchers from the California State University (CSU) found that marine vegetation could play a significant role in minimizing ocean acidification (OA), a phenomenon wherein the ocean waters become too acidic due to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is a chemical reaction brought about by a significant reduction of pH levels in ocean […]

Ten alarming, REAL threats to the environment that are widely ignored by “climate change” advocates
The art of climate fear mongering is rooted in the ability to terrorize the population over threats that hardly matter at all while completely ignoring the REAL threats to our global ecosystem. Isn’t it interesting how people who shudder in fear over President Trump pulling out of the Paris climate treaty say nothing about Fukushima […]
