Ecotourism. Yet another green term you've seen floating around, but that nobody ever really explains. In this episode of The Cliff's Edge, you'll learn how ecotourism is different from your run-of-the-mill tourism, how it has both helped and hu
You see organic food at the grocery store, you hear people mention buying it, maybe you even buy it yourself. So it's kind of weird that you never hear anybody actually describe what it is, or why it makes any difference. Organic food actually
When is a species not a species? Pretty much always, because it turns out, biologists have no clue what a species actually is. We think we know most of the time, but nature keeps throwing us curve-balls. There are so many exceptions to any rule
In evolution, whatever works is what sticks around, even if maybe something else might have worked better. That applies to sex at least as much as to anything else. The question isn't, "Is this too weird?" Or "Doesn't that hurt?" Or "Oh my god
One of the most notorious criminals of all time, Pablo Escobar left behind a legacy that doesn't get as much attention as the drugs, crime and death he spread around the world. But, it's one that Colombia is now having to come to terms with, ye
Does an "exotic invasive" sound like the sort of surgery you'd really rather avoid having? Not sure if "endemic" is a kind of disease? Biology type folks toss these kinds of terms around all the time, but don't always stop to think about whethe

So you think you know all about evolution, eh? Did you know that natural selection and evolution aren't the same thing? Did you know that evolutionary ladders are bogus? Did you realize that evolution can sometimes happen pretty quickly? Did yo
How does a banned soup, international crime rings, and two species of giant fish lead to a rare species of porpoise being driven to extinction? As usual, the answer is people. People are just messed up. Learn about the mysterious vaquita porpoi
So what the hell is the Green New Deal? Is it just a plot by a global conspiracy to take your milkshakes away? Or is it maybe a lot less stupid than that? In this episode, I'll go over the Green New Deal for you. What's in it, how it might work

How do you want to die? Do you want to go out with a... actually, I don't care. What I do care about is, what do we do with you after you're dead? Drain your blood, fill you with poison, stick you inside a metal box, put that inside a concrete
California burned like a mother effer in 2020. Was that normal? Not really. Can we tell? Pretty much. Is it time to finally stop walking on eggshells and just say that these fires and storms and hordes of zombified rats are due to climate chang
Think you know what science is? Well, you might. But, our science education in the US is pretty spotty, and the media is crap at covering scientific topics. So there's a decent chance that you've got some pretty common misperceptions about how
So what's the deal with recycling plastic? Why has it gotten harder lately? Why can't it be easier? Does it even matter? Is it worth it?Find out what's changed in the recycling world in the past couple of years, how it has impacted Americans, w
Meet the ocean sunfish, aka the Mola mola. Have you ever wondered what would happen if a fish had to be assembled on Christmas Eve by a frustrated parent who finally gave up at 3 AM because the instructions almost weren't in English and they fi
