Those who are not in denial about the climate crisis are in despair. And no-one has a good argument as to why the protesters are wrong. I don’t have time to write this article. I am submerged under a snowdrift of undergraduate marking, overdue corrections on a book manuscript, labouring through a PhD thesis I will... Continue Reading →
We speak with one of the leaders of a new study that finds one in five reptiles are threatened by extinction. The results of the first comprehensive study of over 10,000 reptile species around the world were just published in the journal Nature and found multiple causes, including deforestation, urban encroachment, hunting and the climate...

World Risks Losing 1 in 5 Reptile Species as Human Activity Destroys Ecosystems, Says Report Author
Regenerative Systems: How we could redesign a thriving lasting economy | William Reynolds | TEDxDuke
While our economic systems have brought us so much good, we also face increasingly complex environmental and social issues. Our economy has existed for the last 300 years. Common (regenerative) patterns across natural systems might offer the basis for a new economy that humanity can grow upon for millennia. Will Reynolds left New Zealand in... Continue Reading →
We speak with a leading Indian climate scientist about the punishing heat wave that produced the hottest weather ever recorded in April for India and Pakistan. Temperatures have climbed above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, causing power outages, school closures, crop damage and health warnings. Scientists link the early onset of the region’s intense summer to the... Continue Reading →
Climate Injustice: Those Who Face Record Heat Wave in India & Pakistan Did Not Create the Crisis
A team of scientists at MIT have created a device that transforms brackish seawater into clean drinking water at the push of a button—and can be especially helpful for people living in seaside places like California who are dealing with climate change-fueled droughts. The new desalination device (a term used to describe a machine that... Continue Reading →
MIT Engineers Created a Portable Device that Zaps Seawater to Make Drinking Water
We believe climate change is a fundamental threat to the lives and livelihood of every human and future generations here in the United States and across the globe. We believe that bold action by public officials — at all levels of government — is essential to addressing the threat posed by climate change. Too many... Continue Reading →

The UN’s annual report on mitigating calamities shows that a radical rethink is needed to protect those who suffer most If the world seems beset by constant disasters, from the pandemic to drought, we only have ourselves to blame. Over the past two decades, we have experienced up to 500 disasters a year as a... Continue Reading →

Tropical regions show the greatest risk for insect declines The combined influence of climate change and expanding agriculture are causing insect populations to plummet in some parts of the world, according to a new study that determined the abundance of bugs has dropped by half in the hardest-hit places. That’s a big concern for both... Continue Reading →
Insects Are Dying Off Because of Climate Change and Farming
What is the Anthropocene? Have human beings caused permanent changes to the planet? This question has sparked discussions between environmental advocates and geologists regarding what to call the current period we live in. Officially, according to the International Union of Geological Sciences, we are in the Holocene epoch and have been for the past 11,700... Continue Reading →
The Anthropocene: Are we Entering a new Epoch?
There is a small group of scientists that have proposed replacing 100% of the world’s fossil fuel power plants with nuclear reactors as a way to solve climate change. Many others propose nuclear grow to satisfy up to 20 percent of all our energy (not just electricity) needs. They advocate that nuclear is a “clean”... Continue Reading →
