1. "Humans have lived underground for millions of years, but only in fits and starts. Our cave-painting ancestors left behind handprints and hunting scenes. In Tunisia, many people still live in what the The Atlantic calls “crater-like homes,” with rooms built into the Earth, and a central circular patio open to the sky. And in the “dugout” village of Coober Pedy, Australia, locals pray in a subterranean cathedral and visitors sleep in sediment-streaked hotel rooms."

2. "Typically, he says, people are screened for traits that would allow them to thrive in a stint aboard the International Space Station, or a sabbatical at a remote research outpost in the Antarctic. Characteristics like openness to new experiences, for example, are often deemed essential.". Source:https://www.popsci.com/humans-survive-underground#page-3
3. “"Over time, one could imagine that people would become adjusted to living underground and adopting new patterns of behavior that would enable them to live comfortably with no adverse effects on health and well-being,” Palinkas says.".

4. “Because of climate warming, plants grow earlier and more in spring, but they cannot sustain this until summer and autumn,” said Wolfgang Buermann, who led the study while at the School of Earth and Environment at Leeds, in the UK, and now is based at the University of Augsburg in Germany. “
5. ""There is also the fact that “the lifetime of leaves is limited,” he added. “If leaves emerge earlier, they will also die earlier and hence cannot do photosynthesis in late summer.” Americans can see this process is already underway. “These changes do not happen at remote places, but in our backyards,”".
6. "In a nod to the Corn Belt, President Trump told crowds Tuesday evening that he has directed the Environmental Protection Agency to make a rule allowing year-round sales of gasoline containing up to 15 percent ethanol, or E15." Source:https://www.popsci.com/corn-ethanol-smog
7. "While ethanol fermented and distilled from corn is considered a renewable fuel because corn growth, which removes carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis, offsets carbon dioxide emitted during combustion, its production also takes a sizable toll on the environment."

8. "And while ethanol contains only two-thirds the energy of pure gasoline when burned, ethanol use in gasoline is subsidized by the government, to the dismay of oil producers." Source:https://www.popsci.com/corn-ethanol-smog
9. "However, after the additive used to improve octane ratings in gasoline was found to have contaminated the drinking water supply, ethanol emerged as a cheap replacement to increase octane ratings, which is important for controlling combustion speeds. When blended, ethanol helps prevent the gasoline and air in the cylinders from burning too quickly and damaging the engine." Source:https://www.popsci.com/corn-ethanol-smog
10." When genes work like they’re supposed to, they regulate skin cell production—telling the body to create new skin cells as older ones die" Source: https://www.popsci.com/genetics-skin-health
