lWhat Land Will Be Underwater in 20 Years? Figuring It Out Could Be Lucrative
In Charleston, S.C., where the ports have been expanding to accommodate larger ships sailing through the newly widened Panama Canal, a real-estate developer named Xebec Realty recently went looking for land to build new warehouses and logistics centers. But first, Xebec had a question: What were the odds that the sites it was considering might be underwater in 10 or 20 years?

Does This Signal Bad News for Extending the Life of Fossil Fuels to the Detriment of the Environment?
Oil Boom Gives the U.S. a New Edge in Energy and Diplomacy
This year, the United States is expected to surpass Saudi Arabia and to rival Russia as the world's leader, with record output of over 10 million barrels a day, according to the International Energy Agency.
The Rockefellers vs. Exxon, the Company That Made Them
The Rockefellers vs. Exxon, the Company That Made Them the Rockefellers
John D. Rockefeller once said that "God gave me my money," much as He had given human beings dominion over the Earth, and though John D. couldn't have known it then, the original sin of the Rockefeller family would be committed in 1863, when he opened his first oil refinery in Cleveland.
NASA Study Provides First Direct Proof of Ozone Hole Recovery Due to Chemicals Ban
First Direct Proof of Ozone Hole Recovery Due to Chemicals Ban
For the first time, direct observations of the Antarctic ozone hole show evidence of recovery due to the 1987 Montreal Protocol's ban on a class of potent, ozone-depleting chemicals.
NASA Just Made a Stunning Discovery About How Fracking Fuels Global Warming
NASA just made a stunning discovery about how fracking fuels global warming
A new NASA study is one final nail in the coffin of the myth that natural gas is a climate solution, or a "bridge" from the dirtiest fossil fuels to low-carbon fuels like solar and wind.
Charts That Illustrate the Impact of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on Battery Supply, the Electric Grid, and Oil Demand
3 Charts That Illustrate the Impact of EVs on Battery Supply, the Electric Grid and Oil Demand
By 2035, there could be 125 million electric cars on the road, up from 2 million last year. The result: a steep upward swing in demand for batteries and electricity, and a similarly strong decline in global oil demand. A new report from Wood Mackenzie details the rise of electric cars around the world.
Carbon Loophole: Why Is Wood Burning Counted as Green Energy?
Carbon Loophole: Why Is Wood Burning Counted as Green Energy?
A loophole in carbon-accounting rules is spurring a boom in burning wood pellets in European power plants. The result has been a surge in logging, particularly in the U.S. South, and new doubts about whether Europe can meet its commitments under the Paris accord.
Proposed Secret Chemical Treatment of Jordan Lake Could be Dead in the Water
Proposed secret chemical treatment of Jordan Lake could be dead in the water | NC Policy Watch
This is the first of two stories about Jordan Lake. Tomorrow read about the UNC Collaboratory's findings on algae and pollution in the reservoir. It seemed like a bad idea at the time. Now, confirming the concerns of many scientists, environmental advocates and even some lawmakers, a plan to chemically treat a portion of Jordan Lake is even worse.
Evolving Understanding of Antarctic Ice‐Sheet Physics and Ambiguity in Probabilistic Sea‐Level Projections
Evolving Understanding of Antarctic Ice‐Sheet Physics and Ambiguity in Probabilistic Sea‐Level Projections
Mechanisms such as ice‐shelf hydrofracturing and ice‐cliff collapse may rapidly increase discharge from marine‐based ice sheets. Here, we link a probabilistic framework for sea‐level projections to a small...Recent ice‐sheet modeling papers have introduced new physical mechanisms-specifically the hydrofracturing of ice shelves and the collapse of ice cliffs-that can rapidly increase ice‐sheet mass loss from...
