A fair number of people say there is a crucial distinction between climate-change 'Skeptics' and 'Deniers,' yet 'skeptics' still defend the core notion underlying the anti-Human-Generated Climate Change argument - that virtually 100% of the scientists studying climate change can be suborned, corrupted, or intimidated.

Beneath the island’s rainforest, explorers search for new discoveries deep within some of the Earth’s largest, longest, and wildest caves.

A phenomenon called "plant blindness" means we tend to underappreciate the flora around us. That can have disastrous consequences not only for the environment, but human health.

Rock samples from the island suggest it’s a strange hybrid that represents a whole new way for the planet to make volcanoes.

As the Earth's magnetic north pole heads towards Siberia, concerns have been raised that the northern lights could move with it.

Paleobotanist Scott Wing stands in wintry Wyoming badlands, where alligators swam 56 million years ago.

You may have heard the news of what sounds like a resurrection story on the small island of Aldabra, off the coast of Madagascar. Around 136,000 years ago, the island was submerged in water and a layer of limestone captured the rails—a species of flightless bird—living there. The birds (and all other land species living on the island) went extinct. Recently, though, scientists reported that the bones of these fossilized rails are virtually indistinguishable from rails living on the island today. They are calling this an instance of iterative evolution—where the same species evolves multiple, distinct times.

Newly discovered billion-year-old fossilised fungi are more than twice as old as previous finds, and suggest that fungi may have been preparing Earth's lands for plant life for millions of years.
