Biologists drove 19 burrowing owls evicted by a Phoenix housing project
50 miles into a 10,000-acre solar complex
and lowered them into 40 plastic burrows
— every female laid eggs within a month,
and 29 chicks fledged the first summer,
because any predator stands out on open ground under panels

Biologists drove 19 burrowing owls evicted by a Phoenix housing project 50 miles into a 10,000-acre solar complex and lowered them into 40 plastic burrows — every female laid eggs within a month, and 29 chicks fledged the first summer, because open ground under panels hides no predator from an owl
A solar farm designed to fight climate change became an unexpected refuge for an endangered owl when scientists discovered that panels cast the perfect shadow for ground-nesting predators to hunt.

Nepalis and Tibetans must not pay the price – with their lives, livelihoods and money meant for education and health – for global heating caused by wealthy states, says Kathmandu-based climate policy specialist Sunil Acharya

US attorney general Todd Blancheon Sunday declined to assure that the federal justice department he helms would always act independently of the White House and Donald Trump.
“No, I’m not going to pledge that,” he said when asked about the topic by NBC’s Meet the Press host, Kristen Welker. “And no attorney general should ever pledge that.”
Blanche also claimed Trump would never ask him to do something that crosses an ethical or legal line
– after the president dismissed his…

As the impact of climate change intensifies, so does concern over its effects on human mobility. Ongoing changes to the world's climate now raise a salient, apparently simple question: To what extent does climate change cause migration?

Kevin Anderson and colleagues at the University Tyndall Centre have written an open letter to Andy Burnham calling on him not to agree drilling in the Rosebank and Jackdaw marine oil fields. They point out his leadership in commissioning work from them that led to setting of Greater Manchester’s ambitious, Paris-compliant carbon budget.
