MIT Technology News: Cutting our overall use of fossil fuels has proved a daunting challenge, but it might be possible to get some relief from the effects of climate change by selectively reducing the particulate pollution we produce. Recent research suggests that if we can clean up diesel engines and primitive cookstoves in India and China, for example, that could delay the effects of greenhouse-gas buildup even if pollution from coal-fired power plants persists. A study released last week concludes that if every country...

Nature World News: For honey bees, promiscuity leads to genetic diversity which determines the survivability of the colony, according to a new study. The study was conducted by researchers from North Carolina State University, the University of Maryland and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), who found that fewer queen bees lead to collapse of the colony. Previous research has shown that genetic diversity can help honey bees fight-off pests, pathogens and parasites. Promiscuity has also helped certain species...

Reuters: Authorities in Chad have arrested a suspected member of a poaching gang accused of slaughtering nearly 200 elephants and killing five Cameroonian park rangers, the environment minister said on Tuesday.

Idriss Hassan was transporting 124 elephant tusks when he was...

ScienceDaily: Planes, trains, or automobiles: what's the most climate-friendly way to travel? A new study by researchers from IIASA and CICERO brings better estimates of how much personal travel impacts the climate. The study, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology by researchers at IIASA and Center for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO) calculates the climate impact for passenger trips of 500-1000 km -- typical distances for business or holiday trips. It shows that...
