Are Mine Tailings Regulations Sufficient
A quick review of front-page news of the last few years brings us to ask the question: Are mine tailings regulations sufficient to assure the protection of human life and eliminate ecological disaster? The Piney Point phosphate mine in Florida and the Córrego de Feijão iron mine in Brumadinho Brazil among others throughout the world would seem to indicate that […]
What is driving Amazon Deforestation?
In order to understand what is driving Amazon deforestation, we need to examine the entire process. We need to step back from the individual phases and see the overall picture. As we examine the full cycle of the deforestation process we can get a clearer view, and perhaps see what is the major contributing factor. It starts with illegal felling […]
Increasing Ocean Acidification Threatens Marine Life
The increasing ocean acidification threatens marine life in known and unknown ways. The oceans are acidifying at the fastest rate in many millions of years. The absorption of CO2 by water causes acidification. This is a natural process, which forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). The breakdown of the carbonic acid results in the reduction of carbonate ions (CO3(2-)). To make a […]

This video calls attention to how these important insects are being threatened. Modern agriculture’s bad practices are taking these essential and vulnerable insects to the brink of extinction.
Oceanic Garbage Patches – Great and Small
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is the best known and largest of the oceanic garbage patches but it is not the only one. Garbage patches are formed in what is called a gyre, a place where ocean currents naturally form rotating areas of water. These currents “suck” in floating and submerged debris, causing large accumulations of junk, mostly made […]
The Earth’s Oceans are in Trouble
The Earth’s oceans are in trouble, in large part due to actions made by humankind. The human species has been using the oceans as a food source and a garbage dump for millennia. These direct misuses have taken their toll, but now, global warming is adding new factors to the equation. Four of the main problems facing the world’s oceans […]
“Baked In” Global Warming Higher than Thought
“Baked In” Global Warming refers to the amount of warming that will occur due to the gasses (carbon dioxide, methane, etc.) already put into the atmosphere. This is also referred to by scientists as “committed warming”. In a recently published paper in Nature, scientists have determined that the amount of warming due to already released gasses will exceed the goal […]
