A new study published in the journal Science Advances revealed that the species were killed off as a result of human activities and rapid climate change. Molecular biologist Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide said his team discovered that human hunting drove a swift blow to the populations of these Ice...

Washington Post: Implicit in much, if not all, modern environmental sentiment is the idea that the natural world has been despoiled by humans -- and if we could just leave it alone, things would get better.

Bush, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Obama has taken military action in at least seven countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.
