photo: Matthew McDermott According to new statistics by the Florida Department of Health (via CNN ) Key West has seen 24 cases of dengue fever through mid-July that have been confirmed to have been contracted locally. That compares to an additional 49 cases in people who had recently travelled to areas where dengue is more prevalent. What’s the green angle? Basically it’s just an illustration of what Florida, as well as 28 other … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via Live Science Its name is Bluefin, which holds several meanings from homage to the endangered bluefin tuna that represents all we’re doing wrong in our fishing industry to the fact that it’s going into frigid waters to explore Arctic marine life. The robot, or more appropriately, the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), is central to a unique study to collect samples of the critters living in water too cold for humans to explore in other ways. Researchers are hoping that the specialized tools and techniques used by Bluefin … Read the full story on TreeHugger

The red dates for 2010 are observed days with temperatures above 90°F; the red dates in 2050 are projected accounting for climate change. Images: Climate Central . For most of us in the United States, and particularly on the East Coast, July’s temperatures were a bit outside our usual summer comfort zones. As you can see in the graphic above, from Climate Central , in Philadelphia there were 17 days above 90°. The striking thing is that in four decades time, at current rates of greenhouse gas emissions and … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via divemasterking2000 Nitrates are commonly found in groundwater, ending up there after they’re used for fertilizing crops or from storm-water run-off. Typically a contaminate to worry about, a group of engineers from Stanford University have figured out how to turn the problem of nitrates in the water in to a possible solution for energy generation. While their design started out as a nitrous oxide thruster for spacecraft, they figured out how it could also be used at wastewater treatment plants to turn decompose nitrous oxide gas into… Read the full story on TreeHugger
