(Natural News) A waste product of the fertilizer industry might serve as a rich repository of rare earth elements. Researchers have devised a natural way to get these resources from phosphate rock waste. Their bacteria-based extraction method caused much less harm to the environment than current techniques that relied on synthetic acids. The discovery came […]

(Natural News) The Great Barrier Reef in Australia has been under threat lately from coral bleaching, but now it’s facing what experts are terming “another nail in the coffin” as plans have been approved to dump more than a million tons of sludge there. In January, a permit was issued by the Great Barrier Reef […]

(Natural News) It’s no longer debatable that scientists are advocating the mass pollution of Earth’s upper atmosphere in a foolish effort to halt so-called “climate change.” The agenda is openly admitted in science journals like Nature Climate Change, which recently published this study by Peter Irvine and colleagues: Halving warming with idealized solar geoengineering moderates […]

(Natural News) Pharmaceutical companies have certainly made a massive impact on the well-being of human beings through the development of drugs that in some cases have literally meant the difference between life and death. Nonetheless, the legacy of pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly and others has been tainted by accusations of collusion and […]

(Natural News) It has been four years since the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer announced that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” In that time, there has been a lot of focus on the cancer-causing potential of glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup, the world’s most popular weed killer. As bad as the direct […]

(Natural News) A giant wasp-like insect with the face of a stag beetle was just re-discovered by a wildlife photographer on an unspecified island in Indonesia. The insect hadn’t been spotted since 1981 and was thought to be extinct for decades. The insect is known as Wallace’s giant bee, named after the British naturalist Alfred […]

(Natural News) In recent years, an increasing number of decommissioned oil rigs underwent conversion into artificial reefs that became habitats for marine life. Researchers recently evaluated the practice to help California residents and policy-makers make informed decisions about other aging oil platforms off the coast. There are around 6,000 oil rigs around the world. As the floating facilities go about the work of extracting oil […]

(Natural News) Natural News and other members of the independent media have been warning about the dangers of glyphosate – the primary ingredient in Roundup, the world’s most popular weed killer – for many years. Not so the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or any other American governmental authority. In fact, while country after country banned […]

(Natural News) Remember when British Petroleum (BP), Halliburton, and ConocoPhillips indiscriminately dumped tens of thousands of gallons of Corexit into the Gulf of Mexico to supposedly remedy the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster? Well according to experts, this nasty chemical concoction is still floating around in that giant “bathtub,” and is actually now eating away […]

(Natural News) A German researcher did not believe it was possible to justify the environmental protection of planets outside our solar system on the grounds of potential use by humankind in the future. He also believed it was irrelevant to regulate the environments of exoplanets that can support life if the same worlds happened to be lifeless in […]
