As governments discuss climate change in Paris, they’ll be referring to the dire predictions of climate scientists. Here are three visualizations of possible futures based on detailed climate models and summed up by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in their 2013 report. The deeper the red - the hotter things are getting.

The message is clear: we better act fast.

How did they come up with these models? Read or listen to Nell Greenfieldboyce’s story.

The golden landscapes of fireflies captured byTsuneaki Hiramatsu

| 500px

Artistic recognition is not a priority for Tsuneaki. His main intent is to encourage respect for nature. The photographer follows the laws implemented by the Japanese government to protect fireflies. The number one rule: to shoot without flash. Source: lanciatrendvisions

Beth Moon: Diamond Nights

As night falls over the Makgadigadi Pans, large trees stand  starkly against the  horizon, leafless branches reach for the light.  As the sun sinks lower, the sky drains of all color until just red remains.  On the opposite side of the sky, Earth’s shadow is rising, bringing a curtain of indigo and the promise of a clear night.  Science and art merge as  a myriad of stars burn fiercely overhead, dissolving into infinitude, and our thoughts follow.
