We are looking at the first human-made extinction – environmental scientist
An employee from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has been suspended for mentioning climate change at work.
The complaint filed Thursday by the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) comes after reports that Employees from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection were told to avoid terms like “climate change” and “global warming” in official communications after Governor Rick Scott took office.
Starving & sick: Sea lion pups wash ashore in record numbers, global warming blamed
More than 1,500 starving sea lion pups have washed ashore on the California coast this year, many of which are on the brink of death. Animal rescuers are overwhelmed with calls to save them. A weather phenomenon caused by global warming may be to blame.
It’s on pace to be a record-setting winter in Massachusetts, as Boston and its surrounds have seemingly been buried since Labor Day. Now, to add insult to injury, “human-sized” icebergs are landing on the scenic shores of Cape Cod.
Massive hunks of ice floating in Massachusetts Bay arrived on the beaches of Wellfleet over the weekend, in what WBX meteorologist Eric Fisher said may be a “once-in-a-generation” event.

The Shocking Truth Comes Out About The Most Respected Climate Change Denier
A scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Department of Astrophysics has been revealed to have taken over a million dollars from big oil and told no one about it. Big surprise that he denies climate change!
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) does not believe that humans contribute to global warming, and on Thursday he took to the Senate floor with some hard evidence in tow: a snowball. Then he threw it.
In a speech criticizing the “hysteria” around global warming, Inhofe – who chairs the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works – pointed to a particular snowstorm five years ago that set a new record at the time, seemingly suggesting that heavy snowfall is proof against climate change.
President Obama has vetoed the bill that allowed the construction of the Keystone pipeline. As expected, the President rejected the efforts of Republicans and some Democrats to push for a controversial oil pipeline from Canada.
Ocean acidification and agricultural runoff may lead to shelled mollusks drastically dropping down in number, according to a new study. This poses a threat to businesses in coastal communities from Maine to the Chesapeake Bay, to the Louisiana bayou.
'Vulnerability and adaptation of US shellfisheries to ocean acidification (OA)' is the first nationwide study to consider physical factors along with economic and social data in 23 coastal communities. It was published in the scientific journal 'Nature Climate Change' on Monday.
US District Judge Nanette Jolivette Brown dismissed Friday a lawsuit filed in 2013 by the New Orleans-based Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East against 97 oil and gas companies for deterioration of the state’s coastal wetlands.
The lawsuit sought $50 billion in restoration compensation for an erosion process that the US Interior Department said is anywhere from 15-59 percent the responsibility of industry. Drilling operations have carved about 10,000 miles of canals through the state’s coastal marshes and swamps, according to the Associated Press.
Industry, meanwhile, has admitted to 36 percent of the wetland erosion.
The House of Representatives easily passed a measure approving the construction of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline, setting up a showdown with President Barack Obama, who has promised to veto the bill.
In a 270-152 vote led primarily by Republicans, the House passed the same bill that the Senate itself approved last month. The pipeline was first proposed in 2008 and would carry oil 1,179 miles from Canada’s tar sands to Nebraska, where it would connect to an existing pipeline and continue traveling south.
Also included in the bill was an amendment passed by the Senate that acknowledged the existence of climate change, marking the first time many Republicans have gone on record about the issue. A separate amendment stating that humans contribute to climate change, however, was rejected.
