Scientists are predicting that one-third of land animals could suffer dramatic losses over the course of the century due to one awful thing…

CLIMATE CHANGE!

Even worse is that over half of all plants could be hit just as hard as their environments become unsuitable for their disposition.

As different ecosystems begin to collapse, there will be major consequences to us humans.

The Chicago Department of Aviation has awarded a contract for sustainable grazing services for Chicago International Airport.

That means that instead of paying humans to take care of their lawns, they're going to have a herd of goats take care of it!!

Yes, that's a real thing that's going to be happening!

Oh NO! This must have been so scary!

An El Lay-area wildfire has burned over 28,000 acres in two days and is threatening close to 4,000 homes, and it appears that Britney Spears' Calabasas residence may be one of them!

Apparently, he was spotted driving toward the flames and smoke yesterday afternoon…presumably to get her children Sean Preston and Jayden James and HIGH-TAIL IT OUTTA' THERE!

Witnesses saw the pop sensation and a bodyguard in her white Jaguar convertible as they

THIS. IS. AMAZING.

So the Weather Channel is understandably pumped about Tornado Week — a week of everything tornados for the channel and their website. We get it, it's like Shark Week but for weather! LOLz!

Well, to celebrate and promote it, some evil genius came up with a fantastic idea: they're recreating a Twitter powered Tornado in their office, claiming the interns were so excited that they HAD to do it… and sat them right in the middle of the wind blasts!

The best part? YOU are in control of the wind! Every public mention of #TornadoWeek on Twitter raises the scale and boosts the winds and you can tweet at the interns by sending messages to @TornadoWeek as they try and survive! If they hit 1,000,000 mentions… well, let's just say that they'll start a full blown EF-5 tornado inside the Weather Channel offices!

BEST IDEA EVER!!

Watch the live feed (above) and go nuts on Twitter to see it all happen in real time!! HA!!

Bumblebees always seem the friendliest of all the bees!

They usually don't sting, and they look kind of funny as they bumble along.

But apparently it's hard out there for a bumblebee!

Here's some TERRIFYING bumblebee info from a recent science-tastic report:

Awww!! Poor guy must've been so scared and confused!

There was a large earthquake in China's Sichuan province on Saturday.

Video from the Bifengxia Giant Panda Reserve shows a panda running for cover once the ground begins shaking.

He tries to climb a tree but is shaken to the ground.

Poor panda!!

No pandas were injured in the quake and now they're receiving extra food and attention from their handlers to help calm them.

Check out the video (above) to see how a panda reacts to a serious earthquake.

The Obama administration is considering using seismic air gun blasts to search for oil and gas under the ocean seabed.

The problem with this is that the blasts are 100,000 times louder than a jet engine and they'd occur every 10 seconds for months!!

There's a very good chance that 138,500 whales and dolphins will be injured and maybe even killed by these blasts.

Luckily, they have Ted Danson fighting for them. He said:
