Nature World: Patagonia in South America was once the home of Ice Age giants, like huge sloths, bears and saber-toothed cats. Suddenly, they all died at exactly the same time--around 12,300 years ago. 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. But new research suggests that in reality, humans have been altering the natural world for millennia, long before the 15th century dawn of the Age of Discovery, when European societies mastered long-distance ocean navigation and began to spread their cultures, animals and diseases to new continents.

EcoWatch: President Obama has just passed a little-noticed milestone, according to The New York Times: Obama has now been at war longer than any president in U.S. history--longer than George W. 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. Just last month, President Obama announced the deployment of 250 more Special Operations troops to Syria in a move that nearly doubles the official...
