The University of Nottingham is helping to battle climate change on the home front — with the construction of a new experimental house on campus that will cut 'greenhouse gas' emissions by 60 per cent.

Its findings are startling. A global study lead by Dalhousie's Boris Worm shows current trends projecting the collapse of all currently fished seafoods before 2050. The international group of ecologists and economists show that the loss of biodiversity is profoundly reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter pollutants, and rebound from stresses such as over-fishing and climate change.
