Climate Science

Drought, soaring populations and population densities, changing diets, and increasing living standards are allWater shortages are on the rise, from Mexico, the Andes, northern China, southern India, Spain, to Pakistan. factors. Is this an issue that technology can fix?

Making landfall today as a devastating Category 5 storm, Hurricane Felix is the second Cat 5 Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in as many weeks, carving a path of destruction across Central America.

When you think about the climate crisis, which image, a polar bear cub or a human child stands out as the face of climate change? Global warming certainly poses an unprecedented environmental and ecological catastrophe. But the climate crisis doesn’t just threaten cute and cuddly animals and their less charismatic cousins. I would argue that the real face of climate change is, or should be, a human face. Today, I join over eleven hundred others in the Climate Emergency Fast to raise awareness of these human impacts of climate change.

More than a story about global warming, Hurricane Katrina is a story about a people left to die by their government before, during, and well-after a disaster most of us could never imagine. Last November my friend Jeca and I made the trip down to New Orleans to gut houses and help in the recovery effort. Below are two stories from my experience posted in my blog last year.

There are some shocking revelations in Lomborg’s new interview with Salon over his new book. Lomborg apologizes for his “reckless hyperbole” in “comparing Gore, Bill McKibben, the Natural Resources Defense Council, New Scientist magazine to the leaders of the Inquisition“, admitting in retrospect ‘That’s actually a little disturbing‘.

In a shocking abuse of politics over science, NASA has mothballed the most significant climate monitoring project of the decade. This story exposes the details of this abuse of power and the launch of a muckraking investigation into this scandal.

A provocative question. Is a 80% by 2050 national emissions reductions target actually going to prevent the worst impacts of global warming? Will we hit dangerous tipping points? Are there risks we are taking by trying to act too slowly? This post takes a hard look at certain assumptions the U.S. Climate movement has taken.

This articles explores the trend of stronger and more dangerous hurricanes in a warming world. What is the connection, is there a clear pattern? How do you think we should talk about it?

The tipping points in the Global Climate systems just keep getting scarier. What do we do to avoid the risk of hitting them? Are we really willing to gamble the future of the human species like this?

World's leading climate scientist shares ideas about coal, youth engagement, carbon sequestration, and China. Calls for a Coal Moratorium, action from youth activists.
