Stellantis employed 38,913 people in the state at the beginning of 2023, a 7 percent year-over-year drop, according to data submitted to Crain’s. GM’s Michigan-based headcount of 50,316 at the start of 2024 represents a 9 percent decline from 202.....»»
Nitrogen deposition also reduces biodiversity on a larger scale, research shows
It has long been known that nitrogen deposition, where nitrogen is released from the atmosphere into soil or water, can lead to biodiversity loss on a small scale. New research shows that this effect can also be seen in larger areas of several kilome.....»»
Killing giant ragweed just got harder for some Wisconsin farmers
When giant ragweed takes hold in a crop field, the towering weed reduces yield and sends plumes of its famously allergy-inducing pollen into the air. There are few tools available to thwart the menace, especially for farmers growing non-GMO soybeans......»»
Study shows effective regulation and monitoring is key to tackling emissions of a super-greenhouse gas
New research has revealed factories globally are not properly destroying one of the most potent greenhouse gases emitted from the production of fluoropolymers like Teflon, and refrigerants......»»
Opinion: Canada must continue cutting emissions regardless of the actions of other polluters
I have, over the years, lost count of the number of times I have seen or heard people say that it doesn't matter what Canada, or the more-developed world, does to reduce carbon emissions. It is argued that the main global problem is that major emitte.....»»
From embers to crisis: The expanding threat of wildfires under global warming
Globally, wildfires are on the rise, driven by climate change, which exacerbates droughts and high temperatures. These fires contribute significantly to carbon emissions and particulate matter (PM2.5), with severe consequences for both climate stabil.....»»
