With the crisis along the Strait of Hormuz choking off global oil supplies, #Biofuels are making a comeback.

Why biofuels are back
The energy crisis sparked by the Iran war has spurred renewed interest in the fuels, but some experts are skeptical of their scalability and environmental benefits.

Study shows why comfort at home is more than a temperature issue
Feeling hot at home may seem like a simple matter of temperature or whether the air conditioning is switched on. But a new study suggests that less visible factors—from closed windows and blocked airflow to household routines and the different ways family members experience heat—also play an important role.

Due to human development and climate change, tidal wetland areas have been shrinking globally. A new study using 40 years of satellite data shows that this loss has been accelerating in the U.S. and that this acceleration is being increasingly driven by extreme weather events.
