Environmental Science and Climate Change

Life first appeared on Earth around 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago, in the form of microbes.

Corn production in the U.S. is a tale of innovation and hard work, with key states like Iowa and Illinois driving the narrative.

Plastic recycling involves the collection and sorting of plastics into different types, which are then mechanically or chemically recycled, aiding in pollution control and resource preservation while also influencing economic and social aspects.

Expect snow, cold snaps, temperature swings, and sporadic storminess in the winter forecast, as per the Farmer's Almanac.

Nuclear fusion stands at the forefront of potential energy sources for the future, harnessing the power that fuels the stars. This process involves light atomic nuclei merging to form heavier ones and releasing incredible amounts of energy.

Climate change, human negligence, natural weather conditions, and emergency response efforts are key factors in causing and managing Hawaii's wildfires.
