The preservationist group NatureServe just released a report concluding that some 40% of animal species in the US will go extinct in the near future due to climate change. Their predictions may turn out not to be quite accurate since other factors at work determine which species survive and which go the way of the dodo bird and ivory-billed woodpecker. The analysis the report depends on has been severely criticized for lack of rigor by Canadian and Finnish … [Read more...]
Get Ready for Higher Electricity Bills to Fund Vehicle Charging
