Sri Lanka declares state of emergency after floods leave hundreds dead and many missing The president says it is the "most challenging natural disaster" in the country's history.

We’ve always had floods – but as the world warms, they’re becoming more intense and more severe.

We’re all in harms way – but those who don’t have a safe place to live, or can’t take food and water for granted, are always most vulnerable.

Navajo miners work at the Kerr-McGee uranium mine at Cove, Ariz., on May 7, 1953. Navajo men who worked these mines are nearly 30 times more likely to develop cancer.

Navajo miners work at the Kerr-McGee uranium mine at Cove, Ariz., on May 7, 1953. Navajo men who worked these mines are nearly 30 times more likely to develop cancer.

Navajo uranium miners are nearly 30x more likely to develop cancer, yet abandoned mines remain uncleaned while the Trump admin pushes for a new mining boom near Navajo land.

Louisiana plant's carbon capture project aims to limit emissions. Will it emit more than planned? A controversial plan to store CO2 deep under Lake Maurepas was intended to greatly limit greenhouse gas emissions, but a new proposal raises questions.

Air Products has said it is trying to "derisk" the $4.5 billion complex by finding buyers for its low-carbon products.... It also wants to sell ammonia plant and carbon capture pieces and the company's rights to state-owned underground storage areas.

Trump team takes aim at crown jewel of US climate research A top aide to the president-elect wants tighter control over the National Climate Assessment.

The incoming Trump administration plans to target the National Climate Assessment so that it can't be used to defend regulations in court. Russ Vought, Trump's OMB pick, wants to personally approve a team of climate denialists to rewrite it. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
