The Nova Scotia government is preparing to move an iconic strip of coastal road that has been repeatedly battered by storm surge, marking the latest example of a need to modify public infrastructure to mitigate the effects of climate change.Lawrencetown Road, also known as Highway 207, slopes down from a headland just west of Lawrencetown Beach and comes within a few metres of the high-tide line.

Some of them are a little bit different, but it'll use a litr
Researchers have found a thriving ecosystem of animal life in an unlikely place: beneath hydrothermal vents under the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean. A community of marine life was found below the East Pacific Rise, a volcanically active ridge located where two tectonic plates meet on the floor, according to a paper published Tuesday in Nature Communications.

STORY: Europe must cancel its plan to ban new fossil fuel-emitting cars from 2035.That was the message from BMW CEO Oliver Zipse on Tuesday (October 15).He believes such a move would help reduce reliance on China's battery supply chain.Zipse has long pushed for regulators to permit various technologies, including hydrogen fuel cell cars.However, he said Tuesday the mood in Europe was "trending towards one of pessimism".He also argued the region needed a new regulatory framework to stay competitive.Last year, EU countries approved a landmark law that would require all new cars to have zero CO2 emissions from 2035.The move effectively banned diesel and petrol vehicles.But carmakers including BMW, Volkswagen and Renault have called for the CO2 targets to be loosened or delayed.They fear the impact of heavy fines because of lower-than-expected EV sales.But Zipse's home country of Germany has rejected an early review of the targets.Authorities cite the need for clarity for industry and the urgency of tackling climate change.
