To Clear the Air - Brown Political Review Many Americans take clean air for granted, but it is the product of detailed federal regulations that weigh the economic costs of reducing pollution against the benefits of cleaner air to human health...

A critical shift at the EPA: New rules exclude health benefits from cost-benefit analyses, prioritizing industry over lives. This move threatens the legal foundations of clean air protection and public health.

We May Be Closer to a Hothouse Earth Than Before — but It's Not Too Late Learn more about the Hothouse Earth scenario and how we are getting dangerously close to stopping the major impacts of climate change.

We're nearing a 'Hothouse Earth' trajectory. With 16 tipping points at risk, every 0.1°C matters. Triggering elements like ice sheet collapse or permafrost thaw could create a feedback cascade, pushing the climate into an irreversible state.

Why adaptable animals evolve more slowly in a warming world Animals that adapt behaviorally may evolve physically more slowly, showing resilience rather than weakness in changing environments.

Traditionally, scientists viewed slow physical evolution in a changing climate as a sign of vulnerability. This study reframes it as a sign of resilience. Behavioral flexibility buys species time, preserving genetic diversity and preventing extinction.
