Discovering that you’re an undocumented immigrant is a life changing moment for those who were brought to the U.S. as children. And, as research from the University of South Florida’s Elizabeth Aranda and George Washington’s Elizabeth Vaquera shows, this discovery provoked deep fear and anxiety in many – some to the point of suicidal thoughts and attempts. That all changed with DACA, which gave them not just security, but peace of mind. Now that the Trump administration has decided to rescind this policy, however, mental health issues are
bound to reemerge.
Following North Korea’s latest nuclear test, President Trump tweeted Sunday that he may sever all trade with any country doing business with Pyongyang. This, argues UC Merced’s Greg Wright, is plainly an empty and meaningless threat. To understand just how empty, consider the iPhone.
And a recent study offers some good news about global ocean resources. As Halley Froehlich and Rebecca Gentry of the University of California, Santa Barbara explain, sustainable offshore aquaculture could produce as much seafood as all of the world’s wild marine fisheries, using a total area smaller than Lake Michigan.

A new study shows that sustainable fish farming in deep ocean waters could produce as much seafood as all of the world's wild fisheries, in a space the size of Lake Michigan or Africa's Lake Victoria.

By failing to provide details on what invalidated Kenya's election, the country's Supreme Court has created an impossible timeline for organising re-elections within 60 days.

Climate scientists often bombard their audiences with facts and figures - a method of communication that often doesn't work. Perhaps this is where cli-fi can step in, with its compelling characters and just slightly embellished science.
