Climate Change: Ice Age Unlikely, Golf Courses Outsize Solar Land Use

A Science study refutes claims of an imminent ice age, predicting the next one in 10,000 years but deeming it unlikely due to CO2 emissions; a separate study shows that German golf courses occupy 25% more land than all solar plants combined.
