PFAS Chemicals Are Contaminating Great Lakes Drinking Water [13]

"There has been evidence for a few years that levels in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence were higher than the national average, but not high enough to cause immediate alarm. But what is considered safe is evolving, as research increasingly links forever chemicals to an array of potential health risks, such as cancer and reproductive issues."

Rethinking Forest Management in the Pyrocene [45]

Recent urban-interface infernos, fueled by climate change, leave no doubt that we have entered the age of runaway fire. Writer and ecologist Lauren Oakes writes that large-scale combustion is permanently reshaping ecosystems and societies as we learn to live with wildfire, not just fight it. Instead of perpetuating problematic approaches to forest management, experts call for confronting the root causes of this crisis and adopting science-informed responses.
