Trump’s Stance on Science Is Starting to Look Uncomfortably Soviet

The young scientist, who learned to read as a teenager during the Russian Revolution, dismissed the rapidly advancing field of genetics. He believed nature could be bent to human will.

Why recycling isn’t enough to address the plastic problem

And looking into the future, emissions from plastics are only set to grow.
