Yale Environment 360: Estimates of the amount of natural gas that can be extracted from U.S. reserves is much too high and the boom may last just half as long as predicted, says a new report in the journal Nature.

Warmer seas could cause faster melting of Antarctic ice leading to rising sea levels, says study
