Researchers say reducing emissions and biodiversity loss and preventing invasive species could control disease

 

Hares and skylarks are among the most commonly seen large wildlife on UK solar farms, according to the biggest survey of the sector so far.

 

Microplastics can take anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years to break down and, in the meantime, our planet and bodies are becoming more polluted with these materials every day.

 

If you’ve ever enjoyed coffee, tomatoes, corn, bananas, mangoes, walnuts, chocolate, tequila or mezcal, you may just owe bats a thank-you.

 

Trees and bushes planted near highways do more than improve the scenery. A new Georgia State University study finds they significantly reduce air pollution caused by motor vehicles, which has been linked to a host of illnesses

 

A Swiss air quality monitoring firm on Tuesday said its latest worldwide data reveals the need for more walkable cities and a swift transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels, as just 7 out of 134 countries were found to meet global standards for dangerous air pollution.

 

Although the humble sea cucumber may not look like much, it could soon be recruited to help save the world's coral reefs.

 

It started with a tip from the local First Nation of a "bump on the sea floor" where the fish liked to be and led to the discovery of Canada's only known live coral reef.

 

Greenpeace on Monday called for the creation of a high seas marine protected zone under a new UN treaty to secure a much wider area around Ecuador's famous Galapagos archipelago.

 

Members of a global coalition on Thursday released a report detailing "significant and immediate dangers" that artificial intelligence poses to the climate emergency.

 

A world-first study has found enzymes from the prickly paddy melon weed can create a sustainable alternative to cement.

 

Climate change is disrupting the seasonal flow of rivers in the far northern latitudes of America, Russia and Europe.

@memfree As far as I understand it, ocean eels are less of a problem, but freshwater eels are in increasingly short supply. Either way, I like this as an alternative.

There's some pretty big TVs on the market these days, and even projectors are a LOT cheaper than they used to be. It's really not that expensive to put together a decent home setup, and it's only getting cheaper every year.

Jack Black's first theatrical film was Bob Roberts in 1992. He was in a tv movie called Our Shining Moment in 1991. TV series debut was in The Fall Guy in 1984. First commercial was for Pitfall on Atari 2600 in 1982.

Cloud seeding is a real thing. It's also incredibly expensive. Bill Gates would be broke in a year or two if he did it at commercial airline scale.

If I could also not have played Half Life, I'd like a do-over of Black Mesa. Don't get me wrong, HL is still brilliant, but the Xen section of BM is just chef's kiss

Saber tooth tiger is the only thing on that list that actually makes sense thematically. Possibly one of the later Terror Birds would work as a theme though...

Make it all quotes from the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket.

Do you mean the boost? It's like a retweet. It's mostly for cross site functionality with Mastodon.

@akaxaka But that takes you to a feed of all the mags you're subscribed to. What I'm looking for is a menu that allows you to jump straight to a specific magazine.
