Scientists film whale giving birth while other whales work together to help her

🌎🔥📝 American climate scientists are rewriting their own research proposals, scrubbing out words they've used for decades just to keep their funding alive. New from me, Kate Yoder, and Ayurella Horn-Muller for @grist.org: grist.org/language/cli... (1/n)

Another year, another world record for wind and solar development.

California’s fossil fuel phaseout has left it vulnerable to the Iran oil shock

"the United States imports 47 percent of its generic pharmaceuticals from India, which relies on chemicals and oil that are shipped through and around the strait [of Hormuz] to produce these drugs"

The Iran war has already changed global energy markets forever. When will the pipeline pushing politicians in Canada wake up to this new reality? #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/27/o...

The latest environmental threat comes from Big Tech, which has come knocking with proposals for more than 40 data centres throughout the province. But Alberta does not have a great track record of standing up to corporations with harmful pitches, writes @adriennetanner.bsky.social.

The lesson most countries are speed-learning right now is that depending on fossil fuel imports is far more expensive and potentially destabilizing than they’d been led to believe, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

Indigenous Nations are bracing for a funding cut to their stewardship offices and guardian programs as the Carney government signals another departure from Trudeau-era environmental policies.

Wily coyote? urban canines take more risks compared with rural ones – study

With tactics ranging from choking off trade in drug ingredients in and around the Strait of Hormuz to launching a cyber attack on a company making systems for ambulances, Iran and its allies are exposing how vulnerable the US health care system is.

A drought in Russia sparked bread riots in Egypt. Fires in Canada fueled deadly pollution in Spain. Extreme weather can have ripple effects in faraway places that are rarely considered in planning, a new paper warns.

@kmkowalski.bsky.social found dozens of comments opposing this Ohio solar farm were probably fake. Regulators just struck it down anyway.

That’s good news, since the forecast is sunshine for the next 5 billion years. www.wired.com/story/most-o...

Is foraging really feasible to feed myself?

From legalizing balcony solar to boosting grid batteries, here’s what Virginia legislators accomplished on energy this session.

As California’s Central Valley dries out, farmers are turning toward a “new crop”: solar power.

“This is the most corrupt administration.” In an exclusive sit-down with @revealnews.org's host Al Letson for an upcoming episode of More To The Story, Al Gore links the war to Trump’s climate recalcitrance and a slew of broken promises.

Trump’s $1 billion offshore wind buyout is legally dubious — but may not be the last deal of its kind to come out of the White House.

When you've been on the job 30 years, things get pretty static." Scientists, former directors & lawmakers weigh in on whether the National Institutes of Health leadership needs a reset.

"One woman became so sick from eating the food that she began vomiting blood. Another woman had to take antibiotics for an infection she got from the food being served to us here at Dilley." First-person accounts paint a bleak picture of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas.

A rare observation of a sperm whale birth provides the most detailed account ever recorded and the first quantitative evidence of cooperative birthing assistance across family lines outside of primates.

Maine has been eyeing a wind power buildout for years. A New England-wide partnership may finally make it happen.

Did you even know this was happening? I didn't, and It is nutter. Lawless, pricey, ugly and very dangerous, not just to border crossers and wildlife, but imagine a major flood breaking these loose or piling debris behind them. Utter stupidity. No environmental review. Via @insideclimatenews.org

"Explanation is not separate from discovery, but one of its highest forms." Yale ecologist C. Brandon Ogbunu argues science communication belongs at the center of scientific practice.

Modern agriculture is collapsing under climate change. Indigenous farming has answers.

A planned data center in Michigan would use renewables and flexibility to meet most of its demand, while a planned facility in Ohio could go in a different direction—highlighting a contrast in choices between emphasizing cleaner energy sources and relying on fossil fuels.

In Pennsylvania, scientists and state officials are fighting to contain an unusually persistent avian flu outbreak. This strain has stuck around far longer than anyone expected. It’s been found in more than 100 species, including the iconic bald eagle.

Hair compost, sugar waxes and refillable shampoo: inside a California low-waste salon

The EU wants to reestablish the nuclear power supply it once had, when nuclear provided about a 1/3 of the bloc’s electricity supply. But Europe's industrial capacity, financial challenges, & politics are major obstacles to a "nuclear renaissance."

Bald eagles are one of the 21st century's great conservation success stories. But scientists today are worried about the long-term impacts of an unusually persistent outbreak of avian flu on this species and other raptors. insideclimatenews.org/news/2603202...

Home care wasn't ready for the climate crisis—even before Trump's Medicaid and FEMA cuts
