The Keystone XL pipeline is a proposed pipeline that would transport oil from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to Steele City, Nebraska, USA. The project has been the subject of heated debate for years due to environmental concerns. The company behind the project, TC Energy, has been fighting for the pipeline’s approval for years.

Climate Change and the Great Lakes
A new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found that the Great Lakes, which are the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth, are facing significant changes due to climate change. The study found that the lakes are warming more quickly than the global average and that this could lead to more frequent and intense storms, higher sea levels, and increased flooding risks. The study also found that the lakes are becoming more acidic, which could lead to changes in the ecology of the lake ecosystems.
