Scientists Are Using a Deadly Tree Disease to Help Bring America’s Elms Back
For generations, enormous American elm trees were a familiar part of towns, forests, schoolyards, and riverbanks across the United States. Then Dutch elm disease arrived and changed the landscape, killing tens of millions of trees and leaving the towering elms that once defined many communities far harder to find. Now, scientists are fighting back with…
The Richest 10 Percent Are Causing Trillions in Environmental Damage
The people causing the most environmental damage may not be limited to billionaires with private jets and superyachts. A new study suggests the world’s top 10% of consumers are responsible for trillions of dollars in environmental damage every year. The more surprising detail is who qualifies for that group.

That could mean a very different winter depending on where you live.…
Scientists Say Earth Could Eventually Have Just 4 Billion People
What if the biggest environmental solution on Earth had nothing to do with electric cars, solar panels or recycling, but with the number of people living on the planet? A new paper from 11 researchers across 10 countries has proposed a future global population of roughly 4 billion people by 2200, less than half the…
South Korea’s Record Heat Is Destroying Potatoes Before Farmers Can Harvest Them
South Korean farmers are pulling potatoes from the ground only to discover that weeks of record-breaking heat have left the crops soft, collapsing and seemingly cooked before they ever reached the kitchen. Fields that looked perfectly healthy just days earlier are now producing potatoes farmers say resemble boiled ones, leaving growers staring at harvests they…
Scientists Say 16 Parts of Earth Could Trigger A Chain Reaction We Can’t Easily Stop
For decades, scientists have tracked Earth’s climate like a doctor monitoring a patient’s vital signs. Now, one team of researchers says several of those vital signs are showing warning signs that the planet may be moving away from the unusually stable conditions that allowed human civilization to flourish. Their February 2026 paper does not predict…
