With more and more carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere with [...] Validated Independent News Fossil fuel — oil, natural gas, coal — production should peak within the next half century. The term “peak oil” refers to the point at which crude oil reserves reach maximum production rate, and then starts to decline. This scenario states that any resource is finite, and employs the Geophysicist M.K. Hubert’s “Single-Hubert” approach to [...] Validated Independent News Because people today tend to rely on various forms of technology, it is challenging to avoid detection from government surveillance.

[...] Validated Independent News Rising acid levels in oceans have become a huge threat to coral reefs and consequently the food security. Scientists claim nearly 1 billion people in the world depend on seafood as their main source of protein. The high acidity levels are due to the oceans absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The gradual climate [...] Validated Independent News According to Chris Wilmers and James Estes, two UC Santa Cruz research professors, an otter supported kelp forest “can absorb as much as 12 times the amount of CO2 from the atmosphere than if it were subject to ravenous sea urchins.” Sea otters feed on sea urchins, which allow kelp forests to prosper and in [...]
