Oil Is Making Nigeria Rich While Killing Its People

Wellness doesn’t spring from these wells. Though petrodollars have turned Nigeria into Africa’s biggest economic engine — crude provides 70 percent of the nation’s revenue — there are major downsides to drilling. One is the health effects: In Nigeria’s oil regions, spills are devastating the environment and food supply, killing fish and mangrove forests. In the country’s petroleum-rich and conflict-torn Niger Delta, life expectancy has dropped to more than 20 years below the national average. Nigeria has begun cleanups, but they may take 30 years to complete.

Demonstrators Around the World Join March for Science

Supporters of the scientific community took to the streets of more than 230 cities across the globe Saturday in the second annual event, established last year in response to the Trump administration’s stance on climate change and its budget cuts to scientific research. The nonpartisan march reportedly wasn’t as well-attended this year, but demonstrators nonetheless turned out with enthusiasm, carrying posters with messages like “Make America Scientific Again” and “Science Not Silence.” A Harvard professor who attended the Washington, D.C., rally explained, “Good science depends on good democracy.”

Dive-bombing hummingbirds add a twist to impress mates
Male hummingbirds increase the volume and pitch of their calls by manipulating their tail feathers.

Most male North American hummingbirds show off with a flashy dive during which they fan their tails to make a chirping sound. Females seem to use the chirps to rate the speed of the dives — with the faster the better. But male Costa’s hummingbirds (Calypte costae) can boost the volume and pitch of the chirps by twisting feathers in their tail toward the female, masking their true velocity.

Trump’s new executive order spells disaster for our air quality.
While we were all watching the Wheeler and Pruitt train wreck on Thursday, President Trump nonchalantly gave industry a huge pass to pollute. The executive order makes it easier for businesses to comply with air quality standards, and also limits the EPA’s ability to hold states accountable for failing to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

The executive order is a big blow to science and health in the United States. It restricts what science can be considered when regulating air quality and directs the EPA to heed warnings from interests outside of the scientific and public health realms. That means taking into account things like how much it would cost to implement air quality regulations — something the Supreme Court decided was illegal in 2001 (so keep an eye out for Trump’s order to be challenged in court).

There are a lot of reasons why scientists, lawmakers, andadvocates are crying foul. But it all boils down to this: We’re going to be breathing worse air because of it. And fence-line communities of color are going to be hardest hit. Not only because they already breathe the worst air in the United States, but because Trump’s executive order lets states trade pollution permits — which tends to allow polluters to stack their chips in the places that are already suffering the most.

Most Americans think climate change has a place in education.
Seventy-eight percent say that schools should teach kids about global warming, according to a recent analysis by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.

Yale Program on Climate Change Communication
Still, not everyone agrees. In recent years, several states haveintroduced bills that would take climate science out of the classroom. In Idaho, legislators erased human-caused climate change from the state curriculum last year — but in February, the state government voted to include it again. That aligns with the will of the people: The Yale survey shows that in all 50 states, including Idaho, a majority of people support teaching kids about the warming planet.

North Dakota is the first state with the power to decide how it will bury carbon.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration shifted the responsibility for regulating carbon storage in North Dakota from the federal government to the state. The idea is that regulators on the ground might do a better job than the feds. That follows a recent bill, just passed as part of Congress’s budget deal, that encourages utilities and industries to start capturing their emissions.

President Ulysses S. Grant approved the first national park, Yellowstone, in 1872. Since then, the vast and diverse lands primarily acquired by the government for conservation have also welcomed millions of visitors. But a massive $11.6 billion maintenance and operations backlog has accrued over the years. The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a hearing Tuesday on the financial challenges and other issues facing the National Park Service. Here’s a look at what’s happening.

On January 1, China stopped accepting 24 categories of solid waste, disrupting the export of more than 600,000 tonnes of material out of Australia each year.

Mr Moynihan said the younger generation was highly educated about recycling and the council's decision sent a mixed signal to them.

"We're now talking about getting rid of plastic bags, I mean what's the message? You can't have a plastic bag in the supermarket, but you can dump everything that's in the plastic bag into the ground — it's nonsensical."

​

This week, we go to the flat expanse of the Oklahoma Panhandle, where developers want to build the country’s largest wind farm and state regulators are figuring out whether to give their blessing.
Wind Catcher Energy Connection, announced last year, is a $4.5 billion plan that includes a 2,000-megawatt wind farm and heavy-duty power lines to connect to the electricity grid.

​

The developer is Chicago-based Invenergy, and the power would be purchased by American Electric Power for use in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

“We just desperately need jobs in our area,” said Shannon, executive director of Panhandle Region Economic Development Coalition Inc., speaking to me by phone as he drove. “If you’re not involved in farming, it’s pretty hard to find a good job.”

Climate Change Is Making Deadly Air Pollution Worse in Cities Across the U.S.
Environmentalists worry that climate change could cause problems with rising sea levels and crop failures in the coming decades, but one group of researchers has found it’s already causing health problems now.

Temperature increases linked to climate change are worsening air pollution in communities across the country right now contributing to a range of health problems from asthma to premature death, according to a new report from the American Lung Association.
http://time.com/5245779/climate-change-air-pollution-health/\

What’s the Largest?
The arrival of Wind Catcher would take some bragging rights from Alta Wind Energy Center in Southern California, which is currently the largest in the country at more than 1,500 megawatts.

It also would help narrow the gap between Oklahoma and Texas in producing electricity from wind. Texas is the leader by a long stretch as measured in megawatt-hours, followed by Oklahoma and Iowa, according to the Energy Information Administration. (An Invenergy-developed wind project in Glasscock County, Texas is seen below.)

Now, the fine print: There are many ways of measuring wind farms, and just about all of them require some explanation. The most common number is megawatts of capacity—which is the maximum power that can be generated without exceeding design limits—but the actual output varies depending on how windy a region is and the design of the turbine.

SCIENTIFIC LIFE
YouTube your science
When the time came to film a video contribution for a press release about his research, evolutionary biologist Adrian Smith decided to invite his mum along. The experience made him realize the power of scientists’ telling their own stories on video. Not only does it raise the profile of your research, it connects with people who might not have contact with working scientists in their lives.

Why our freshwater fish need help
Three-quarters of our native freshwater fish species are endangered. On Wednesday, the government launched new guidelines for waterways in order to better protect their migratory routes—but these are only optional.

New Zealanders love their native galaxiids—sandwiched between two pieces of white bread for the most part. But just as we are getting to know our galaxiids, we are driving them towards extinction.

Whitebait species still on the brink
There isn’t a catch limit on the lucrative whitebait fishery, which threatens to extinguish a cherished tradition and a small family of fish in one sweep of the net. If nothing changes, two whitebait species will be gone within five years, and the rest by 2034.

Slow-Motion Ocean: Atlantic’s Circulation Is Weakest in 1,600 Years

We Must Protect Our Oceans

Oceans are a great passion of mine and something I elevated as a global priority at the U.S. State Department. Why? Because all life depends on the oceans. Circulation in the North Atlantic has slowed to the lowest level in centuries, which scientists fear will devastate fisheries and lead to rising sea levels. Meanwhile, billions of pounds of plastic end up in the oceans every year, endangering wildlife and risking our health as the debris enters the food chain. We need an international agreement, modeled on the Paris Agreement, to bind countries to reduce plastic use. We could get there with leadership.

Hope for Great Barrier Reef? New Study Shows Genetic Diversity of Coral Could Extend Our Chance to Save It

Fluorinated Chemical Pollution Crisis Spreads
WHY CITIES AT RISK FROM CLIMATE CHANGE DO THE LEAST TO PREVENT IT

The Price of Environmental Damage Is Quickly Adding Up
Back when magazines were physical things you could hold in your hand and stack in piles, I used to read Rolling Stone to follow my musical idols, from John Lennon to Bob Dylan. Now I go online and follow the magazine’s prolific environmental reporter Jeff Goodell. He writes here about how climate disasters in 2017 cost the U.S. more than $300 billion and displaced more than a million Americans from their homes — numbers that will only increase as climate change worsens. This will put some steel in your spine about the stakes.

Carbon Cultivators Aim to Save the Planet

A new class of ecologically conscious farmers is using agricultural land to suck carbon out of the air. Land use is an often overlooked contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, as large areas of plant growth, so good at absorbing greenhouse gases, have been destroyed. “Carbon farming” seeks to reverse that with techniques such as not plowing, covering bare soil (which emits carbon) or growing trees alongside crops. Those can create large carbon sponges, which, even if they aren’t a magic bullet, could theoretically remove billions of tons of CO2 from Earth’s atmosphere.

damn good article
you never know ones 'true colous'
long thought that of TRUDEAU so deceptive for someone who professed/conviced folk otherwise

Trudeau continues to support the pipeline. Yesterday he tweeted that "I wouldn't approve major pipeline projects if I wasn't confident they could be done safely. And they can be done safely because we've made a massive investment in protecting our oceans and coastlines—in BC and across the country."

The tweet was accompanied by a glossy video, which was posted on Twitter and Facebook.

The reason for the meeting over the weekend, according to press reports, is that Trudeau wants to strong-arm BC Premier "John Horgan to reverse his stance." Horgan responded that he was going to "represent BC, our coast and economy."

Yesterday, 40 civil society groups sent a letter to Trudeau on behalf of their Quebec members, urging the federal government to "immediately cease supporting Kinder Morgan's pipeline. Do not turn this pipeline into your political legacy."

The letter continues:

"We remind you in particular of your government's commitment to end fossil fuel subsidies. The Trudeau government, in supporting a 20th-century sector of the economy, is failing to live up to its responsibility.

The national interest of Canada does not rest in the construction of The Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, but in the inevitable energy transition that is so urgently needed in order to counter climate change.

The support that you continue to provide to the pipeline project casts a serious cloud on your credibility as a leader in the fight against climate change.

We repeat: Do not turn this pipeline into your political legacy."

Tortoise In Peril
Special
Desert tortoises are a threatened species. Habitat destruction, diseases and other factors have reduced their numbers by up to 90 percent. Now flocks of ravens, that often live off human trash, are eating baby tortoises, reducing the odds of tortoise survival as a species. This documentary explores that impact, pointing out how people can change the environment through seemingly innocent actions.
