A really, really old microfossil has been discovered in a rocks in Quebec, Canada.  Scientists believe these microfossils to be somewhere between 3.75 and 4.28 billion years old - somewhere between 200 and 700 million years older than previous microfossils…

The picture below tells the whole story in easy to understand, relatable noise comparisons.  If you are on the turbine itself, it's about as loud as a lawnmower.   Typically, wind turbines are not placed any closer than 1000 feet from…

On March 29th, Wind Power in the United States produced more electricity that coal and nuclear.  That's a pretty big deal.  Wind power is green - producing no pollution.  Unlike coal, with produces all sorts of pollution that is harmful…

When we look at pictures from space, it appears that the earth is perfectly round from every angle.  But that's not actually the case.  The earth is fatter at the equator.  That is, if you measured the circumference of the…

So how tall was the tallest wave ever recorded?  Would you believe 500 feet!!  Yes, 500 feet!!  That happened back in July 1958 a huge earthquake rocked Alaska.  This caused a huge landslide, which in turn triggered a gigantic tsunami…

Scientists have discovered a very well-preserved dinosaur leg that they say could trace to the actual day the asteroid hit that wiped out all the dinosaurs.  The leg was unearthed in North Dakota.  Here's an excerpt from the story: According…

Pollen season is here, and climate change is making it worse. Warming contributes to longer pollen seasons, and higher carbon dioxide levels can increase pollen production.  This is caused by the warming planet.  You can read all about it here: …

On Tuesday a powerful tornado touched down in Allendale County and then plowed to the northwest between Bamberg and Branchville.  The National Weather Service concluded that this was an EF-3 tornado (the scale goes from EF-0 to EF-5) with peak…

Scientists have been tracking the melting of the Arctic ice.  This melting ice is contributing to sea level rise.  If completely melted, the Arctic ice would raise sea levels by roughly 200 feet. Here's one excerpt from the article below:…

Scientists have done experiments with a new kind of light that not harmful to humans, but kills nearly all the microbes in the room.  The could be a game-changer for combating not only any potential new pandemic, but also combating…

Solar and wind can generate a whole lot of pollution-free electricity.  But what do we do when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing?  We use batteries.  That is, when the sun is shining and the wind is…

The world is warming.  Further evidence of that is this.  A large chunk of ice - roughly 460 square miles, broke off and fell into the ocean. This is the first time scientists have observed and event like this in…

Solar power - generating electricity from solar panels, is now the least expensive way to create electricity.  Yes, it's cheaper than natural gas, coal, or nuclear.  The price of solar power has decreased 89% in the last 10 years.  And…

An astronomer discovered an asteroid just about 2 and a half hours before it hit the earth's atmosphere.  The asteroid was estimated to be about the size of a refrigerator - that means that a fair amount of it would…

The earth is warming.  And warmer air holds more water vapor than colder air.  This is having an impact on hailstones.  Although a lot of research is still on-going, the early indications are that in the warmer air, hail is…
