(Natural News) The ice sheet in Greenland is melting, but it turns out that the culprit is not global warming, as some people would like to have you believe. Instead, researchers have now found proof that a hidden heat source deep inside the planet is behind this melting that is pushing glaciers into the ocean. […]

(Natural News) Megacities have a population of at least 10 million people, and they largely rely on the ecosystem services provided by remote natural area. A study found that planting 20 percent more trees in major cities would reduce air pollution and energy use by two times. The study was conducted by a team of […]

(Natural News) 2018 could be the year that the words ‘renewable energy’ finally become synonymous with cheap energy. There are many signs that point to this becoming a reality, such as the growing number of readily available and highly affordable renewable energy solutions that have made the news in the past 12 months. But industry […]

(Natural News) In any endeavor, there’s the easy way, and then there’s the right way, and when it comes to farming, there is a steep price to pay in the long run for choosing the path of least resistance. Researchers from Iowa State University decided to carry out an economic analysis of various farming approaches […]

(Natural News) Thirty-some-odd years ago, scientists first became aware of a hole in the ozone layer, which had formed over Antarctica. But thanks to a global ban on hazardous chemicals known as chloro-fluorocarbons, officials at NASA now say that the hole discovered in the 1980s is now closing up. It seems time really can heal […]

(Natural News) Times are truly changing especially for green power. Renewable energy, once limited to off-the-grid energy sources which pale in comparison to traditional energy, is steadily gaining ground. In November last year, Norway, one of Europe’s largest oil producers, had announced that it is looking to divest its funding of international petroleum companies. The […]

(Natural News) By 2027, an artificial island in the North Sea could soon be providing renewable energy for at least 80 million individuals in Europe. Dubbed the “North Sea Wind Power Hub,” the artificial power island will house “a small team of permanent staff.” The island will send electricity via long-distance cables to Britain and […]

(Natural News) The future of science and technology is looking up — and it’s not just for man and machine. Plants are also getting in on the action, thanks to innovations like the “low-cost, easily produced, graphene-based, sensors-on-tape.” Despite the long description, this wearable sensor tape can be easily stuck to a plant, which, in turn, will […]

(Natural News) While some people are worried that we might one day run out of building materials, a group of experts has revealed that they have successfully created wood-like blocks out of mushrooms. Architect Chris Maurer and his collaborators at Redhouse Architecture in Cleveland, Ohio, aim for the creation of whole communities using mushroom “wood” […]

(Natural News) Based on the study of data concerning energy figures, in 2017 wind farms in the U.K. produced more energy compared to coal plants for more than 75 percent of days in the last year. According to the website MyGridGB, solar energy also surpassed coal “more than half the time.” In general, figures up to […]
