(TMU) — Nineteenth-century poet, playwright and social critic Oscar Wilde is credited with once saying “an idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.” While the quote certainly sounds nice and idealistic, one can’t help but wonder if he would say the same thing in the viral age—with its condom-snorting, Tide pod-gobbling, and KiKi-dancing challenges, among many others, […]
(TMU) — The tale is like something out of the movies: a mysterious beluga whale swims into the open waters of a northern Scandinavian town, seemingly on a military mission from a rival abroad, before revealing himself to be quite ill-fitted for his top-secret mission. Such was the case in Hammerfest, Norway, where a small white […]
(CD) — A terrifying new study details the havoc being wrought by what scientists call “the most destructive pathogen ever” recorded on earth, finding that with help from unwitting humans a “silent killer” has caused major declines of frogs, salamanders, and hundreds of other amphibian species.

In recent years, polar bears in the northeastern region have been forced to flee inland as surrounding sea ice melts, […]
(CD) — The first global scientific review of its kind reaches an ominous conclusion about the state of nature warning that unless humanity drastically and urgently changes its behavior the world’s insects could be extinct within a century.

(TMU) — The monarch butterfly, the majestic black-and-orange pollinator that once covered winter trees like leaves from the Baja California Peninsula up to California’s Central Coast, is facing a sharp population decline that could spell its irreversible doom.
