In the fight against climate change, the dairy industry is coming under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact, and consumers are beginning to care more about the carbon footprint of their food. According to the 234

Is anybody home? Astronomers have pinpointed two planets orbiting a nearby star that meet pretty much every requirement for supporting life. They're almost exactly the same mass as the Earth, they are billions of years old (which means life could have had time to evolve), and they're orbiting their star at a distance that would support things like water flow and habitable temperatures.The two planets orbit Teegarden's star, an ancient star that is only 12-light-years away from the Earth. ("Only" is relative -- 12 light-years is equal to 70,540,000,000,000 miles.) Research on the planets and their sun, 621

In a sea of young people fighting for their future, there's a 13-year-old girl named Haven Coleman.In many ways, she's just like any other teenager, but she's also the co-founder of a national organization called U.S. Youth Climate Strike. She spends every Friday striking outside the Colorado State Capitol.“So the story... involves sloths," Haven says.Inspired several years ago to save the sloths she deeply loves, Haven decided to become a climate activist."I was trying to do everything and anything, and I'm still doing that to stop climate change because this is something that's so like... big, so terrifying, and that's gonna be following me and my generation," she explains. "And it has been for our whole lives."Growing up during a time when climate change is a common topic, Haven wasn't shocked when she found out carbon dioxide has now reached a level in the atmosphere that hasn't been seen for three million years. On May 11, sensors at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii measured concentrations of the greenhouse gas to be at 415 parts per million. That means for every 1 million molecules of gas in the atmosphere, 415 were carbon dioxide. Compare that to 315 ppm 60 years ago, and 280 at the start of the industrial revolution. Without human interference, carbon in fossil fuels would leak slowly into the atmosphere through volcanic activity over millions of years. That's how the Earth has had these levels before. But a process that is normally very slow has been accelerated by the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas."Those greenhouse gases, that carbon pollution that we're putting into the atmosphere, much of that is going to stay there for a very long period of time and affect our climate for decades to come," Tony Dutzik said.Tony Dutzik with Environment America says what's most concerning about this data, is that human beings have never lived in a climate as hot as the one that existed three million years ago. Sea levels were approximately 50 feet higher than where they are today.According to Scripps Institution of Oceanography, vegetation records from that era called Pliocene show forests growing in the Canadian arctic, and savannas covering what is now known as the north African desert. The impacts of a changing climate are already evident in the United States."We're beginning to see supercharged storms -- storms that are gaining energy from our warmer oceans -- that are dumping immense amounts of rainfall. Storms like Hurricane Harvey, and Hurricane Florence in just the last few years," Dutzik says. "Sea level is rising at about a tenth of an inch per year, and that rate of rise is accelerating, and so cities like Boston and Miami increasingly have to deal with coastal flooding. And in places in the west, we're seeing larger more intense wildfires that burn hotter and are harder to control."As catastrophic as these events may seem, Dutzik says change is possible if everyone plays a part."Every day we have the opportunity when we're making energy efficiency upgrades to our homes, when we're purchasing our next car, when we're choosing where to live -- whether we live some place that's close to the places that we need to be or far away," Dutzik says.However, Dutzik notes a majority of change necessary to alter the course the earth's current projections will take a lot of political power. Power that young people like Haven are strongly pushing for."I hope that we fix this," Haven says. "We have 11 years...because 11 years is the only time we've got to fix the worst effects of climate change."Many U.S. students are pushing for 100 percent renewable energy by 2030 and want to stop any new construction on fossil fuel infrastructure, including pipelines, coal plants, and fracking facilities. *******************If you'd like to contact the journalist of this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 3880

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- This time of year, it's easy to overspend on gifts for friends and family, but sometimes it's the gift of a handwritten card that can be the best one of all.Annie Taylor visited Hallmark, the world's top greeting card maker, to learn more about the art of this century-old gift.Amy Goodnow is among those who know how special cards can be. Every holiday season, she remembers her dad by pulling out the cards she once wrote to him.“We were a big card sending family,” said Goodnow. “I had it instilled in me from a very young age to write thank you notes for everything.”Now that she has a daughter of her own, every Christmas they've made it a tradition to send greeting cards to friends and family.They’re not alone. About 1.2 billion cards are sent every holiday season."Greeting cards date back hundreds of years," said Samantha Bradbeer, the keeper of the vault at Hallmark, where cards from every decade are kept. "It was popularized under Queen Victoria during her reign in the 1830s."One of Hallmark’s senior writers, Kat Stano, says sincerity is key to crafting a good holiday card and remembering that everyone’s Christmas is different. "You want it to be honest,” said Stano. “You want to think about people’s current life situations and what they are going through."Geoff Greenleaf, one of Hallmark’s most famous artists, tries to encompass the classic American Christmas with each card he paints. "I grew up in Massachusetts,” said Greenleaf. “I just love the winter and find it’s a beautiful time of year."His paintings begin with intricate sketches."The way you can draw people in with a road or going home, there's a lot of emotion around that," Greenleaf said. Greenleaf’s art has been so well received, it became the inspiration behind Hallmark’s Christmas movie, “Evergreen.”If you’re looking for a gift that creates a lasting memory, Goodnow suggests giving a handwritten card. It might be the best way to show someone you care. 1981

Kansas health officials confirm the death of a person in connection with an outbreak of a lung disease related to the use of e-cigarettes. It’s the sixth death reported nationwide that’s connected to vaping.Other deaths have been reported in California, Illinois, Indiana, Oregon and Minnesota.The U.S Food and Drug Administration is being urged to take action on vaping, especially when it comes to teen use.Phillip Furman knows the teen vaping epidemic first hand."I liked the cool feeling in my throat, and the feeling that it gave me,” he says.The 16-year-old teen is part of Parents Against Vaping E-cigarettes and testified before Congress this year. He claims he bought e-cigarettes on websites without age restrictions or in stores that didn't ask his age.“I realized it was hurting my body, and I couldn't play sports as well or just walk down the street as well,” he says.Now, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is donating 0 million to stop teen vaping.“Unless we do something very rapidly, it threatens to erode decades of progress of reducing smoking amongst our kids,” says Matthew Myers, president of Tobacco Free Kids.Myers and Bloomberg want to get flavored e-cigarettes off the market."We know kids who start using e-cigarettes, who have never smoked before, are far more likely to become cigarette smokers,” Myers says.They're also want the FDA to take a closer look at vape products before they're sold.Last week, Michigan became the first state to ban flavored e-cigs. This summer, San Francisco became the first city to ban the sale of all e-cigarettes.But Boston University School of Public Health's Dr. Michael Siegel says a ban isn't the answer."We need to be encouraging adult smokers, if they are unable to quit, [to use] other methods to consider, using e-cigarettes as an alternative,” Dr. Siegel says.However, when it comes to flavored e-cigs, Myers says there's no evidence they can help smokers quit. 1952
