    Originally published: Science for the People on March 9, 2024 by Marina Johnson-Zafiris and André Luiz de Oliveira Domingues (more by Science for the People)  | (Posted Apr 15, 2024)

    Hydropower has long been heralded as “clean,” “green” energy. Yet living in Akwesasne, just a few kilometers away from the Moses-Saunders Power Dam, it seems that almost every one of its approximately 13,000 residents is either sick or has a family member that is sick.

    The U.S. Navy and climate change

    Originally published: Science for the People on Volume 25, no. 3, Killing in the Name Of by Neta C. Crawford (more by Science for the People)  | (Posted Apr 17, 2023)

    If one were only to read the headlines over the last two years, it might seem as if the U.S. military is late to the problem of climate change.
