Are GMO's safe? GMOs are plants and animals whose genes have been modified by scientists. This article talks about how scientists view GMO's.

Pres. Donald Trump is now restricting scientist's from sharing their research. Officials at the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) have both let their staff know that they can not discuss research done by the agency or any departmental restrictions with anyone outside of the agency. This includes talking to the news, releasing photos, posting on social media, and more.

it is frightening to me that our new administration and President are trying to silence science based departments. The taxpayer funds the research that goes on, and therefore has a right to know the outcomes of what they are funding. Gagging scientists because you do not like or agree with what they are saying is childish and has no place in our government.

This site goes over the many scientists studying climate change and its impact around the globe. The site also highlights the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and their efforts to predict the effects of climate change.

Using NASA as a source for climate change is great. This is a great web source for being able to quickly see what scientists are saying in active research.

I found this article to be very informative on the effects of climate change. I was not aware that hurricanes would become worse and growing seasons increase.

It is believed that the genetic engineering of human cells is now possible because of the success of Monsanto's crops. This webpage explores the motives for artificial human design and the outcomes some scientists would like to see.

A scientist in New Jersey found a way to combine the traits of two mothers into one egg, which is called cytoplasmic transfer. It is believed that 15 adolescents are currently the product of that finding. This is frightening because it poses a threat to the human genome.

This article explains the types of drug addiction and how and why it happens.Addiction can happen in almost everyone and scientists struggle on how to find how to stop it.

I prefer research articles over new articles because you can get a quick overview of the resource in the abstract.

The interesting thing about addiction, is what I've read through various studies, is that essentially the largest factors are that it's used to subdue emotional traumas. Some common themes to this are sexual assault, lack of emotional support, and depression.

This article talks about how climate change is the reason for hurricane Harvey. Scientist predicted that this hurricane was going to happen. He also gives examples of climate change and the first steps to help it not to get worse.

Climate change is an important issue that has an impact far outside the present. I thought the author made an interesting point at the beginning of his article, when he talked about how after 9-11 we found terror but when it comes to climate change people look the other way.

Hurricane Harvey is one of the many signs that climate change is a threat to our planet. The article states that "last year was the third year in a row to set a record for highest global average surface temperature " and since then other studies and reports have only further proven these dacts.

The climate justice movement isn't for just scientists. It's for everyone on the earth, it is up to the people to get together and save this planet. Not point fingers at who's job it is but for everyone to work together.

The article focuses on different studies done to see if there are negative effects of using cannabis. Negative effects in the brain for teens and a long term effect on concentrating and learning new things is discussed. The news is not all bad though, it may even reduce chances of cancer in tobacco smokers.

As much as we are busy and neglect our environment, the earth's temperature is still increasing at a very high rate. Global warming is real. We read a lot of articles and hear a lot of scientist saying how terrible the earth's atmosphere is right now but there is one thing I think we could do is that stop using plastic bags.

The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.
