Click here to sign the Open Letter. The federal Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rule “Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science,” banning the agency’s use of “secret science” in formulating regulations, should be adopted. It is badly needed to assure American taxpayers that the EPA is truly acting in their best interests. Objections are groundless. Strengthening
Last fall Politico ran a special feature on global health that featured a graphic presentation of increased incidence of insect-borne diseases in the United States from 2004 to 2013, blaming the increase on global warming. “Warming global temperatures are changing the range and behavior of disease-carrying insects like mosquitos and ticks and extending the seasons in

A friend of Cornwall Alliance in Africa wrote, I am not yet certain what the real truth is about Genetically Modified Organisms (God’s). Are they dangerous, or are they harmless?

Seven months ago I wrote about why Congressman Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), nominated to be the new administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was well qualified and, in a saner world, should have been confirmed quickly. Yesterday, at last, the well-deserved confirmation finally happened—albeit along strict party lines—after the vote had been delayed for

In America and around the world, millions of people think electric vehicles (EVs) are the solution to all kinds of environmental problems—like smog, fine particulate pollution, and global warming. Save the planet! Drive a Leaf (or Volt or Tesla or … the models multiply). But enormous technical problems face the transition from gasoline- or diesel-powered

Los Angeles has a new solution to climate change: painting streets white. Well, not quite a solution to climate change. What it really addresses is what’s called the “urban heat island” (UHI) effect. Cities and towns, with lots of blacktop streets, absorb more energy from sunlight than rural areas, so their ambient air temperatures (especially
