As did the Dodo, so shall we go-go
It turns out that while the Arctic and Greenland get most of the press attention partly because of their proximity to Canada and the United States, it’s actually Antarctica all the way at the other end of the globe
Climate change is a daily reality up in Greenland. This week we look at the winners and losers in this global adaptation challenge and get a glimpse of what’s coming our way in the next few years.

James Hansen, Pam Peterson, and Philip Duffy discuss how the hesitancy among scientists to express the gravity of our situation is a major block to our understanding and response to climate change. The reticence arises from political pressure, institutional
Almost half of Canada sits on permanently frozen land called permafrost, but climate change is causing it to thaw and erode rapidly. W5’s Avery Haines investigates a looming ecological disaster that poses a threat to the entire world.
Dr. James Hansen, former director of NASA’s Goddard Institute and Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, discusses the urgent need to radically change our relationship with the planet. RT Correspondent Anya Parampil looks at the accelerating pace of
A leading British global investment firm has a warning for its clients: Our planet is on course to experience a rise in global average temperatures of nearly 8℃ (14℉) by the end of the century.
A key idea in climate science is that the system contains multiple feedback loops, that can make warming worse. For instance, as white, reflective ice is replaced by dark, heat-absorbing water – more of the sun’s warmth is absorbed
Berkeley Lab Scientist, Bill Collins, discusses what we know about climate change, how we know it, and what we can do about it. Collins serves as the director for the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab. He
Ralph Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Sciences,reviews up-to-date data on temperatures of air and water, rates of ice losses and of sea-level rise and illustrate the driving forces of greenhouse gases in an energy-balance model of Earth.
There is a lot of debate about the so-called tipping point for the Earth’s climate, where scientists say warming the atmosphere two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels may cause irreversible changes that could lead to global disasters. While the
