How Scientists Respond to Science Deniers
Official Title: How Scientists Respond to Science Deniers | Edge Of Knowledge | Ars Technica "We never landed on the moon." "Climate change is a hoax." "Vaccines are ineffective." Our culture feels riddled with anti-science sentiment and there's no one factor to blame or easy solution to address it. How did we get here and... Continue Reading →
Greenhouse gas has undergone rapid acceleration and scientists say it may be due to atmospheric changes . Methane is four times more sensitive to global warming than previously thought, a new study shows. The result helps to explain the rapid growth in methane in recent years and suggests that, if left unchecked, methane related warming... Continue Reading →

Five Ways Canada Can Reach 2030 Emissions Target
A new United Nations report released Wednesday shows farming, mining, and logging has marred more than half of the planet. In a portrait of land degradation across the globe, the report describes entire forests razed for timber or pasture; sensitive grasslands and wetlands lost to sprawling cities; and over-exploited lands that have dried up into...

United Nations warns that humanity has ‘degraded’ 40 percent of Earth’s land
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 →
Why we need to confront denial over the climate 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 →
