Vegan diets cause “far less climate pollution,” reports WPLN, citing a study that found vegetable-only cuisine implicates 75% less planet-heating emissions, land use and water pollution than a diet that includes 3.5 ounces of meat each day. The study was published in Nature: Vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters in the UK show discrepant environmental impacts, by Peter Scarborough et al. […]

Waves along California’s Central Coast are getting bigger as human-caused climate change warms the planet, according to a new study published this week in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. Average winter wave height has increased by roughly one foot since 1970, the year that corresponds with global warming’s rapid acceleration, per the researchers. And storms […]
