Despite birthing some one of the most obstinate climate-change thumb-twiddlers of all time, Yale University recently announced plans for an online magazine, aimed entirely at global environmental topics. Yale Environment 360 looks to centralize environmental reporting, and raise it to a world-class level.

The magazine’s first edition boasts quite a pedigree, drawing in writers from the New Yorker, Nobel Prize-winners, along with scientists and pundits from across the spectrum. Issues range from the myth of clean-burning coal to water shortages, and take place as far away as China and the Amazon rainforest.

The magazines creation reinforces the established that the environment is of primary concern among both academics and college students, but the broad-based focus and wide variety of material speaks to the growing popularity of green issues among the public as a whole.
