In an analysis of how regulators review pesticides for their potential to cause cancer, researchers at Silent Spring Institute identified more than two dozen registered pesticides that were linked with mammary gland tumors in animal studies. The new findings raise concerns about how the US…
By Jake Anderson Researchers studying ancient mud from below the seafloor recently made a stunning discovery. They found that by simply adding food they were able to revive bacteria life that has laid dormant for 101.5-million-years. In their paper on the discovery, they write: Our…
By Patricia Burke “It’s about time that we create a better, more equitable, sustainable and future, and we can do this if we work together. We need to embrace our responsibility to be fully and visibly connected to the fight against racism, and frankly injustices…
Having more flowers and maintaining diverse bee communities could help reduce the spread of bee parasites, according to a new study. The research, conducted on more than 5,000 flowers and bees, reveals how bee parasites spread and what measures could help control them. Bees can…
By Ice Age Farmer A powerful, global AI surveillance system has been announced this week by Al Gore. The system is powerful enough to detect emissions from every power plant, each farm, and every wood-burning stove on the planet. This system affords total information awareness…
The Navy’s quest to power its ships by converting seawater into fuel is one step nearer fruition. University of Rochester chemical engineers, in collaboration with researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Pittsburgh, and OxEon Energy, have demonstrated that a potassium-promoted molybdenum carbide…
New research led by The University of Queensland has provided the first comprehensive analysis of pesticide mixtures in creeks and rivers discharging to the Great Barrier Reef. UQ’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences researcher Associate Professor Michael Warne conducted the study with the Queensland…
Microplastics (MPs), tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in length, can now be found throughout the ocean and other aquatic ecosystems, and even in our seafood and salt. As MPs have become ubiquitous, scientists have become concerned about the transfer of MPs from the…
By Sara Tipton With the hottest days of summer quickly approaching for most of us, it’s important to know how to stay cool, especially when you’re working outside and doing those homestead chores. It’s really easy to get hot but here are a few inexpensive…

By Ice Age Farmer The UN seeks to remove humans from 30% of land and inland water, and considers this “even more important than climate change!” A narrative is being crafted with COVID-19 to justify forcibly moving people off the land and farms, into the…
By Elias Marat A U.S. federal court has ordered the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) to immediately halt operations and evacuate all oil from the pipeline over concerns about its likely environmental impact and the potentially existential risk it poses to the land belonging to…
By Peter Tocci Today’s world looks quite chaotic, threatened and stressed. But could the players and motives commonly cited by investigative journalists be symptomatic first, causal second? Issues come ‘fast and furious,’ such as ever-increasing threats to health, freedom, self-determination, and most critically to the…
By Mayukh Saha According to a recent paper published in Science, researchers have successfully used a machine-learning algorithm to discover vast structures of dense material lying on the border of Earth’s liquid outer core and the lower mantle. The algorithm was developed to analyze galaxies and…
By John Vibes Scientists are growing increasingly concerned about the mass deaths of hundreds of elephants in Botswana, but are still unsure about what is causing the problem. According to the Guardian, at least 350 elephants have died in the African country in the past…
A record 53.6 million metric tonnes (Mt) of electronic waste was generated worldwide in 2019, up 21 per cent in just five years, according to the UN’s Global E-waste Monitor 2020. The new report also predicts global e-waste — discarded products with a battery or…
By Rosanne Lindsay, Naturopath Global warming proponents have always claimed that CO2 gas emissions from human activity cause the conditions of “Global Warming.” Global Warming is described as a Greenhouse Effect, or warming, that happens when certain gases in Earth’s atmosphere (CO2) trap heat on…
