Chocolate eggs and bunnies cost more than ever this Easter -- but the farmers who make these treats possible are in dire straits.

A school-wide presentation event at the Village School of North Bennington illustrated a remarkable level of student engagement.

Changes in the climate and land use are combining to dramatically shrink the numbers of insects pollinating key tropical crops. As those problems intertwine and intensify, it will likely hit coffee lovers right in the mug, according to a new study. And that one-two punch will melt some chocolate fans’ dreams too, scientists said. Scientists looked at thousands of

The more we learn about climate change, the worst it gets.

A new study suggests that the loss of pollinators due to climate change and tropical deforestation will have a pronounced effect in the global coffee industry

A new study finds that changes in the climate and land use are combining to dramatically shrink the numbers of insects pollinating key tropical crops. Thursdays study says as those problems intertwine and intensify, it likely will hit coffee lovers right in the mug. And that one-two punch will melt some chocolate fans’ dreams too. Scientists looked at thousands of species and sites and found when temperatures warmed up beyond the normal range and that interacted with a shrinking habitat of...

Warming and habitat loss shrink pollinator numbers

Changes in the climate and land use are combining to dramatically shrink the numbers of insects pollinating key tropical crops. As those problems inter wine and intensify, it likely will

Climate change–driven declines in pollinating insects will result in less successful coffee, cocoa, watermelon and mango crops.
