In a press conference on March 29, President Biden announced plans for a new Wind Energy Area in the New York Bight, an area of shallow water off the coasts of New Jersey and Long Island. When established, this project will create good-paying union jobs, strengthen the domestic supply chain, and support critical research, development, and data-sharing. While there are many benefits to Biden’s proposal, people still raise some concerns....

Most recently in 2014, the city of Barcelona, Spain was faced with serious air and noise pollution problems. The major city and its thirty-five surrounding municipalities consistently failed to meet the European Union’s air quality targets. 44% of Barcelona residents are exposed to higher-than-recommended air pollution levels, and 46% higher-than-recommended noise levels. Direct exposure to air pollution in the region has tallied an astounding 3,500 premature deaths every year....

When a cow consumes livestock feed or grazes, the microbes in its stomach ferment the food by utilizing carbon and hydrogen, thereby producing enteric methane. Enteric methane is intestinal and predominantly released through eructation (belching), yet a small percentage is also released through flatulence. Ge**er et al. state that the emissions from the livestock sector are “estimated at 7.1 gigatonnes CO2 -eq per annum, representing 14.5 percent of human-induced GHG emissions,” noting especially that 41 percent of the total is from beef steers (cattle raised for meat)....

The global population is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, and many are wondering how to feed this growing population. In order to feed 9 billion people, current food production will have to double; however, with the rising threat of climate change, the agricultural industry will have to develop more sustainable food resources. Resources are already limited, and feeding a future population will only put further pressure on those limited resources....

Maple trees have long been a staple of Northeastern America, valued for both aesthetic and practical purposes, including their ability to produce sap that can be turned into an edible syrup, first produced by Native Americans. On the surface, this process seems to be holding steadfast in the face of climate change as maple syrup production increases by 10% each year due to new developments in sap collecting mechanisms....

For the last two centuries, fossil fuels have been the main source of energy production across the globe, especially in Saudi Arabia. As the second largest oil producer and sixth largest oil consumer, Saudi Arabia, along with many other countries, have played a major role in progressing both global warming and climate change. However, Saudi Arabia has acknowledged the harms of using fossil fuels and has formed a promising plan of action to divert away from fossil fuels and towards sustainable and renewable energy sources....

In northern New Mexico, the Navajo and Pueblo native tribes face constant public health and environmental risks due to land leases for oil drilling on local public lands. Although fracking has been permitted for decades in this region, in 2010, new technologies allowed oil companies to drill deeper than ever before, revitalizing the potential for companies to continue to deplete the region’s resources....

In February 2021, severe winter storms caused major statewide power outages throughout Texas, with an estimated cost of $195.6 billion and 111 lives lost over the course of a few weeks. As soon as the blackouts started, politicians began denouncing the expansion of renewable energy sources in the Texan power grid as the cause of the issues, citing frozen wind turbines, among other things. ...

In late 2020, America gained a new addition to its beloved National Park System as West Virginia gained its first. New River Gorge National Park and Preserve expands over 53 square miles of land, featuring steep cliffs as high as 1,600 feet carved by the flowing turquoise New River, the second oldest river in the world. Biodiversity includes endangered species such as the Allegheny woodrat and the Virginia big-eared bat, and the most diverse plant collection of any river gorge in central and south Appalachia....

Every major and growing city has experienced at one point or another an imminent need to update its sewer systems in order to accommodate the waste influx.

On March 18th, 2021, representatives from China and the United States met at a summit in Alaska for the first meeting between the two world powers since the Biden administration took office. Reports leading up to the meeting were riddled with headlines like “Climate Offers a Glimmer of Hope for U.S.-China Cooperation.” Climate discussions were one of the only positive signs to come out of the reunion, as the meeting also clarified that the relationship between the two countries is taut with tensions....
