(Natural News) If you listen to what the mainstream media is saying, you’ll be left with the impression that the United States is the filthiest country on the planet, generating far more plastic pollution and other waste – not to mention all that dreaded carbon dioxide (CO2) – than anybody else. But you’d be wrong […]

(Natural News) Humans enjoy moderately long lifespans. But some bats live even longer, which is surprising given their small size. Researchers believe that the secret behind the longevity of bats might help humans enjoy longer lives. Two researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) studied the evolutionary history of many known chiropteran species. They identified four bat species that live […]

(Natural News) New research out of Yale University has found that Franken-scientists in Brazil are directly responsible for unleashing a new variety of genetically-modified “super” mosquito that’s stronger, more robust, and thus more of a public health threat than natural mosquitoes. While Oxitec, the manufacturer of these transgenic mosquitoes, initially claimed that they would not […]

(Natural News) In the movies, sharks threaten humans, especially if they rode tornadoes inland. In real life, however, it’s the other way around: Human commercial fishing threatens to drive sharks and their relatives, rays, into extinction. A U.K. team counted the number of sharks and rays accidentally caught by small-scale fisheries in the South West […]

(Natural News) There is a reason why residents of Ontario haven’t seen many American bumblebees (Bombus pensylvanicus) in recent years. Canadian researchers warned that the once-common and vital pollinators are teetering on the brink of extinction. A recent study discovered that the Canadian population of the bumblebee species has reached the point of imminent local extinction. […]

(Natural News) Plastic pollution isn’t just unpleasant to look at, it’s one of the biggest threats to environmental health currently facing our planet. There is little doubt that plastic has revolutionized our world, but unfortunately, it may also be what destroys it. Plastic waste pollutes our land and our water, leeches toxic chemicals into our […]

(Natural News) The left really doesn’t want you to eat meat anymore, as evidenced by the fact that the dozens of leftist contenders for the presidency in 2020 can’t stop talking about it at all of their “town hall” gatherings. Democrat hacks like Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders want meat to be off-limits from your […]

(Natural News) Volcanoes could have caused the worst mass extinction on Earth. According to researchers from the University of Cincinnati (UC) and the China University of Geosciences (CUG), the most reliable evidence for this outcome comes from a recent mercury discovery buried in layers of ancient rock. The event, known as the Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction, took place 252 million years ago […]

(Natural News) Researchers have discovered that fish living in damaged coral reefs have an alternative source of sustenance aside from the reefs where they live. An Australian study recently found that ocean currents haul in considerable amounts of food to reef structures; enough to keep the remaining population fed. A healthy coral reef produces large amounts […]

(Natural News) Most termites don’t deserve the bad reputation meant for the few species that are actual pests. An international study found that the insects actually help preserve tropical rainforests during periods of drought. Termites thrive in tropical regions with plenty of cellulose-rich plants that they can digest. The “sheeting” structures they construct above ground let them travel through the rainforest in safety even […]
