Gil Weinberg investigates this creative conund...

Mike Gil: The big-beaked, rock-munching fish that protect coral reefs

As the sun rises over a quiet coral reef, one animal breaks the morning silence. Named for its vibrant scales and beak-like teeth, the parrotfish devours a particularly crunchy breakfast: rocks. Why would any creature take bites out of the seafloor? Mike Gil explores how these quirky and flashy foragers play a key role in defending the essential...

I traveled the length of the Keystone XL Pipeline: A Q&A with TED Book author Steven Mufson

The Keystone XL pipeline, which has been proposed to transport oil the 1700 miles from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, is something of a Rorschach test in the United States. Advocates of the pipeline believe that it’s the holy-grail project that will create jobs for Americans and ensure the country’s oil independence. Opponents of the pipeline w...

A critical eye on Keystone XL Pipeline in this TED Book

The proposed Keystone XL pipeline would stretch 1,700 miles from Western Canada to the Gulf Coast of Texas. And it has become a touchstone for the bitter fight over America's energy future. Opponents say the pipeline -- designed to bring oil from Canadian tar sands down through the United States -- would further bind future generations to outdat...

Carolyn Marshall: Why didn't this 2,000 year old body decompose?

It may not appear very lively six feet underground, but a single teaspoon of soil contains more organisms than there are human beings on the planet. From bacteria and algae to fungi and protozoa, soils are home to one quarter of Earth's biodiversity. And perhaps soil's most important inhabitants are its microbes. Carolyn Marshall digs into how s...

How a US rule you haven’t heard of could lead to sweeping global change

Chances are, you probably haven’t heard of Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Methane isn’t just cow farts; it’s also cow burps (and other weird facts you didn’t know about this potent greenhouse gas)

Why learn about methane? Because it could be our chance to make a real dent in global warming, says environmentalist Fred Krupp. Methane, which is created when four hydrogen atoms bond to one atom of carbon, is a molecule that’s lighter than air. It's amazingly useful -- it’s the primary component of natural gas, which generates roughly 22 perc...
