In the early 21st century, it’s become clear that air pollution can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth.
Evidence of the previously unknown phenomenon of Global Dimming, one that scientists believe could dramatically alter global temperatures
Climate scientists have discovered a phenomenon that threatens to disrupt our world. It may already have contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands through drought and famine.
Unchecked, it will strike again.
The good news [...]

Nuclear power is often promoted as a low-carbon source that mitigates fossil fuel emissions and the resulting health damage and deaths caused by air pollution. But is it possible to provide estimates and actually quantify these effects?
A new paper from NASA’s Goddard Institute authored by Pushker Kharecha and James Hansen in the journal Environmental Science and Technology purports to do just that. Hansen is well known as one of the founders of modern global warming science. [...]
Closer you live to heavy-traffic roads, higher calcium level around heart
Research finds for every 300ft closer to major traffic, levels rise by 10%
Traffic pollution and noise believed to act through similar body pathways
Both cause imbalance in nervous system which regulates blood pressure
Study by professor in Germany presented to Italy cardiology conference
Living near a busy road can cause heart disease, research claims.
Long-term exposure to air particles from traffic pollution can cause clogging of the arteries, [...]
Using nuclear power in place of fossil-fuel energy sources, such as coal, has prevented some 1.8 million air pollution-related deaths globally and couldsave millions of more lives in coming decades, concludes a study. The researchers also find that nuclear energy prevents emissions of huge quantities of greenhouse gases. These estimates help make the case that policymakers should continue to rely on and expand nuclear power in place of fossil fuels [...]
For the fourth time this year, a murky haze has descended over north China, leaving residents of Beijing choking on toxic smog. China’s air hasn’t been this bad since 1954, according to the state-run People’s Daily newspaper.
In a remarkable record of dirty air, 24 out of January’s first 29 days this year had air classified as hazardous. And the skies have still not cleared.
The Air Quality Index from the U.S. embassy, [...]
More than 100 million people will die and global economic growth will be cut by 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 if the world fails to tackle climate change, a report commissioned by 20 governments has claimed.
As global average temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, the effects on the planet, such as melting ice caps, extreme weather, drought and rising sea levels, will threaten populations and [...]
Anyone looking to cut out air pollution in their town may have to look no further than their local burger joint.
A new study out of the University of California, Riverside, has found that commercial charbroilers – like the ones used in the country’s fast food restaurants, are doing more harm to the air quality than an 18-wheeler.
Researchers claim that the charbroilers send a staggering quantity of particulate matter into the [...]
The House of Representatives, which already holds the title of the most anti-environment House ever, today added another mark to the list — the Domestic Energy Production Act, H.R. 4480. The act is specifically designed to increase oil and gas development, with measures that block safeguards from smog and pollution and mandate drilling on public lands. The House Republicans passed this pollution and plunder energy package overrun by oil and gas industry [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Fifty-seven percent of Chinese adults surveyed in 2011 — before the country’s economic slowdown grabbed headlines — prioritized protecting the environment, even at the risk of curbing economic growth. About one in five believed economic growth is more important. Chinese attitudes are typical of those in other emerging-market economies, where residents sided with the environment over the economy in earlier surveys.
Similarly, Americans historically prioritized environment protection [...]

Climate change alarmists are hard at work, pushing their agenda of man-made global warming which ultimately leads to global carbon taxing through the governance of the UN.
Daniel Sarewitz , professor of science and society and co-director of the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University, asserts that: “There is not any serious debate about whether anthropogenic climate change is happening. Scientists are certain about that, and it [...]
Living in a city doesn’t just increases stress levels and affect the lungs – scientists have found it can damage the heart as well.
Researchers found residents who lived in a city centre were almost twice as likely to suffer from calcium build up in their arteries than those living in rural areas.
The condition predicts the development of heart disease – the higher the calcium score the greater the risk of [...]
Republicans in the U.S. House are pushing legislation that would freeze new regulations and hamper the changing of existing ones, all in the name of helping small businesses grow.
But critics contend that the Regulatory Freeze for Jobs Act represents an overreaction to the sluggish economy and would do more harm than good.
H.R. 4078 would halt all “significant regulatory actions” until the national unemployment rate falls below 6%—a threshold the nation may [...]

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, operator of the state’s power grid, said in a report today that a new federal environmental regulation would reduce generating capacity and put the grid “at increasing risk of emergency events,” including rotating power outages.
The Jan. 1 implementation date for the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, designed to curb air pollution from power plants, leaves ERCOT with [...]

The head of the Texas Public Utility Commission expressed concern Friday that a new federal air quality rule, set to take effect Jan. 1, will cause disruptions in electric service.
If implementation of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is not delayed, “I have no doubt in my mind that this rule will result in reliability issues and rolling outages in Texas,” Donna Nelson [...]
With the season’s first heat wave this week, those with respiratory ailments should exercise caution outdoors as poor air quality is expected to accompany the high temperatures.
Elevated levels of ground pollution, including ozone and other fine particles, is expected to last through Wednesday and impact millions across the East.
At greatest risk is a subset of the population most susceptible to air pollution, such as the [...]
Such a deal! How would you like to be able to fill up at $2.80 a gallon?
Gasoline prices like that are available but there’s one catch…they’re in Mexico.
But 1200 WOAI’s Michael Board says plenty of south Texans are ducking to avoid the bullets from the gang wars, to gas up at prices which are as much as a dollar lower than prices in the United States.
“When Piedras prices [...]
The UN on Thursday expressed alarm at a huge decline in bee colonies under a multiple onslaught of pests and pollution, urging an international effort to save the pollinators that are vital for food crops.
Much of the decline, ranging up to 85 percent in some areas, is taking place in the industralised northern hemisphere due to more than a dozen factors, according to a report [...]
