Just two weeks ago, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made an extraordinary announcement: Pollution from global warming would no longer be considered a threat to public health. 　　Known as the endangerment finding, the Obama-era policy empowered federal officials to regulate pollution caused by vehicles and power plants. It also led to electric vehicle subsidies that boosted the...

　　Living in a ski town means frequently driving to the ski resort or bus stop. Often, loading, locking, unlocking, and unloading a roof ski rack takes me as much time as driving up the resort (except when I cant find a parking spot). 　　Roof racks can be awkward to load, create noise at highway speeds, and add drag. After a season...

　　There’s nothing quite like the freedom of running fast across a rocky ridgeline with massive relief on all sides. Alpine terrain is where I really hit my stride.

Finally I slashed it to $1200, and got three buyers immediately. One guy said hed buy it sight unseen. I was out of...

　　The wildfire smoke rolled in quickly and was thick enough that I felt it in my lungs after just 20 minutes. When I started hiking, it was clear out, but the wind changed and haze from the forest fires now obscured the mountains around me. I felt wheezy, my eyes started itching, and I stopped jogging the flats. I was...

　　Each year, thousands of people from around the world flock to Mount Everest for a chance to reach its distant summit. Now, Nepalese tourism officials are trying to encourage climbers to try one of the countrys many other peaks, instead. 　　For the next 2 years, nearly 100 mountains in the Nepalese Himalayas will be free to climb — no government...
