Climate Science on Trial Again

    I think that this article and the trial itself are indeed good for not only our country's government but the world's ecosystem too. If the kids do win the trial, the government (and trump) will be disrupted into having to participate by helping save our ecosystem and deal with the problem of climate change. It will also be helpful on quite a larger scale considering that if a first world country like the USA were to start paying more attention to our environmental issues and help to retain a healthy ecosystem, the world would be much better off.

The GM chickens that lay eggs with anti-cancer drugs

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46993649 Researchers have genetically modified chickens to lay eggs that contain health promoting drugs that can help arthritis and cancer. The drugs are said to be 100 times cheaper to produce when they are laid than when they are produced in a factory. These researchers hope that they can produce the drugs in commercial quantities. The chickens aren't harmed and they just think that they are laying normal eggs. It only takes three eggs to produce enough dosage of the drug and chickens lay about 300 per year. The researchers hope that they can use the chicken drug to promote animal health too.

Climate change models predicted ocean currents would speed up - but not this soon

Within the past two decades ocean currents have been speeding up at a fast rate because of climate change. It was predicted that ocean currents would speed up, but not this quickly. Since this was not expected, people are worried that climate change could have many other effects that we are not prepared for. Global ocean circulation has accelerated by 36 percent since the early 1990's. Our oceans have a huge impact on the planet and the different effects of climate change will change our planet for the worse. It is scary that scientists have underestimated the effects of climate change and it shows how little time we have to work on this issue. Everybody needs to understand that we are facing a huge problem and if we don't all start to act on it then there is not much hope for a good future. I hope that the future planned research goes well and scientists can learn more about the unknowns. link

Urban Coyote Evolution Favors The Bold

linky Summary Coyotes are becoming an increasing risk in urban areas. They are coming into contact with people and pets more and more as time goes on. Researchers decided to find out what is making coyotes so comfortable around humans and how to prevent these interactions. They are led to believe that it begins with the parenting. They believe the fearlessness is passed down from parent to offspring.  They went to a wildlife conservatory in Utah to observe the captive, but mostly wild, coyotes that reside there. When the keepers feed them, they usually made as little contact with the coyotes as possible, to limit the human interaction. However, when they started staying after they fed them, the coyotes became more comfortable with the human presence. After generations, the coyotes had no fear whatsoever towards the humans. They became bolder with each passing generation. This reveals that as humans, to prevent exposure to these predators, we need to make our yards as uni...
