I recently watched the History Channel show "Alone" and for all but one season(1) it is just what it sounds like. They take 10 people and throw them into a difficult situation where they have to survive alone.

I've never commissioned a survey of e-cigarette users, because surveys are unreliable (on surveys, for example, few deny vaccines, they all invoke choice) but in years and years of talking to e-cigarette users I have never found one who uses nicotine flavor.Some used a little nicotine, some used more, the Wild West aspect of vaping is why CDC is able to link 250 illnesses with vaping and declare it a crisis when 3X as many people will get sick from raw milk - but no one I have spoken with uses nicotine flavor.The reason is simple; it tastes like the cigarettes they quit. Instead, they use flavors.

While a vegan diet is fine for adults, in children it is a human rights violation - and it can send parents to jail.John P. and Katrina Miller of of Crestline, Ohio, have been indicted on one count of kidnapping, a first degree felony; one count of felonious assault, a second-degree felony; two felony counts of child endangerment, one second-degree, one third-degree; and a first-degree misdemeanor count of child endangerment. They face up tp 22 yeards prison.

Fat shaming, slut shaming, you name it and someone is complaining that other people are being judge-y about we choose to live our lives. On Twitter the only things it is okay to shame in 2019 are Republicans, scientists, and vapers.

Call it Atlantis if you want. but geologists have reconstructed the quarter-of-a-billion-year-long history of a long-submerged landmass. It just isn't beneath an ocean, it is below southern Europe.The tectonic history of the landmass known as Greater Adria has been under study for a while but the new study is the first systematic time-lapse reconstruction.

Four years ago, I can't recall having heard of JUUL despite ending smoking, which means supporting smoking cessation and harm reduction tools like vaping, being a cornerstone of my science and health mandate.Then suddenly they were everywhere. A vaping culture that had no market leader, and certainly did not appeal to young people - as if Blu using Jenny McCarthy was appealing to anyone except old former smokers - had a clear favorite almost overnight.

How cool were astronauts? If you were born in the 1960s or earlier, just about as cool as you could get.They were fighter pilots, they were smart, they had The Right Stuff, and if you were an automobile company that wanted to market a car named after a warship, it made sense to get astronauts in your cars.

Earthjustice, originally created by Sierra Club so they would have yet another group to sue companies and government for stuff Sierra Club wanted to sue over, is at it again, this time claiming 40 percent of bees are dying (a lie) and that the neonicotinoid sulfoxaflor is causing it.There is no evidence for that, which is why EPA approved it, yet the trial lawyers insist a $200 billion pollinator market is at risk unless EPA settles with them quickly so environmental groups can then sue the company (Corteva) that makes the product.

To mark New York Fashion Week, Dana Thomas' new book, Fashionopolis, notes that between 2000 and 2014, the annual number of garments produced doubled to 100 billion: 14 new garments per person per year for every person on the planet, on average being worn only 7 seven times before being thrown out.If it's sold at all, and 20 billion clothing items go unsold., Thomas says, and that the fashion industry accounts for at least 10 percent of global carbon emissions and 20 percent of all industrial water pollution. 

Among the more ridiculous campaigns by environmental lawyers against the Trump administration, protesting the Department of Energy canceling a last-minute Obama regulation that was never going to survive lawsuit challenges was among the silliest.Until EPA decided to cancel California's 2009 waiver for federal rules on emissions out of spite
