In late September, NASA's Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite will crash into Earth. Weighing more than 1,300 pounds and roughly the size of a school bus, the satellite will likely land somewhere between Canada and South

Ben Richmond at Motherboard highlights a climate change success story.

Among the more high risk methods of geoengineering, methods that reflect sunlight away from the Earth to counteract temperature rise are right up there in terms of potential unintended consequences. Well, a new piece of

Another summary of the potential risks and benefits of ocean iron fertilization--the geoengineering method which proposes seeding oceans with iron so as to stimulate microscopic plants that absorb carbon from the

Another report on another geoengineering method that is likely too risky to try and utterly not cost-effective: Injecting aerosols into the atmosphere to slow warming (which would do absolutely nothing about ocean acidification, by the way).

The first field test of injecting sulfate particles into the atmosphere is proposed for New Mexico; ocean iron fertilization experiment shows more promise than previous ones.

It may have also been done under falsely obtained consent...

Because the iron dumped in the ocean off British Columbia wasn't dumped as waste, it didn't violate international law.

The Economist puts Melbourne in number 1 spot, Vancouver in 3. They're not.

Humane Society International investigation reveals that real fur is being sold as fake.

Fur farming was banned on UK soil in 2000, but imports are still allowed, which activists say simply 'outsources' the cruelty.

Architects, engineers, landscape architects and urban planners all have a role to play and should be acting now.

The Searaser takes a novel approach to wave energy generation. New owners Ecotricity - pioneers of wind power in Britain - are aiming for mass deployment in the next five years.

Andres Amador etches large intricate and organic patterns on beaches along the coast of California, with a rake as his paintbrush.

Wave power is a promising source of clean energy, but it is usually overlooked because wind and solar power are farther along.

These sand "castles" are not your usual holiday beach creations.

Wave power is the oft-forgotten cousin of solar and wind power. It has huge potential, but it is not quite as far along as the better known sources of clean power, so it tends to be overlooked.

A student at Wake Forest University is testing wave energy technology for capturing the power in pool laps.

The agency is offering up open source modeling software to scientists, engineers and garage inventors too.

The Norwegian ship has been given a new clean energy life.
