Gigantic Solar Farms Might Impact How Much Solar Power Is Generated on the Other Side of the World
The Sun’s energy is effectively limitless. While resources such as coal or gas are finite, if you are able to capture and use solar power it doesn’t prevent anyone else from also using as much sunshine as they need.

We May Be Hard-Wired by Evolution to Fail in the Face of Global Climate Change
Climate change is posing an existential threat to life as we know it on the planet and yet not only do many people lack a sense of urgency but governments seem reluctant to take decisive actions as well.

A Survey of a Single Backyard in Australia Reveals Over a Thousand Species
When many of us think of biodiversity, we tend to think of forests, coral reefs and savannas, but even our backyards can be home, whether permanent or temporary, to numerous creatures.
