As did the Dodo, so shall we go-go
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
More than 15,000 scientists from 184 countries released a letter earlier this week warning about the escalating dangers of climate change. The letter is meant to reaffirm another letter signed by more than 1,700 scientists 25 years ago. The nearly 10-fold increase
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.
If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible. It is, I promise, worse than you think.
I’m often accused of downplaying the horrors associated with the breakdown of this type of living arrangements. In a similar vein, I am accused of failing to provide the mechanism by which 7.5 billion people will soon die. I’m here to set both records straight.
Bill McKibben (http://350.org), Jim Hansen, Katharine Hayhoe, and others give us an update on the science and solutions to climate change. You can find Bill’s books at Amazon.com.
We’re entering the Earth’s sixth era of extinction — and it’s the first time humans are to blame. CNN introduces you to the key species and people who are trying to prevent them from vanishing.
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
The US national security industry is planning for the impact of an unprecedented global food crisis lasting as long as a decade, according to reports by a government contractor. The studies published by CNA Corporation in December 2015, unreported until now,
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
