Limits of survival are set by climate, those long drifts of change which a generation may fail to notice. And it is the extremes of climate which set the pattern. Lonely, finite humans may observe climatic provinces, fluctuations of annual weather and, occasionally may observe such things as 'This is a colder year than I've ever known.' Such things are sensible. But humans are seldom alerted to the shifting average through a great span of years. And it is precisely in this alerting that humans learn how to survive on any planet. They must learn climate.

Beneath the vocabulary, though, the research has converged on a simpler claim: we are running a civilization that is increasingly exposed on three fronts at once. The physical world is pushing…

World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds

Wealthy individuals have a higher carbon footprint. A new study published in Nature Climate Change quantifies the climate outcomes of these inequalities. It finds that the world’s wealthiest 10% are responsible for two-thirds of observed global warming since 1990 and the resulting increases in climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts. The study assesses the contribution of the highest…

Choosing Optimism amidst 5GW and Cataclysmic Change

How can we stay positive when it seems like the world is falling apart?  Geological evidence of cycles of cataclysmic polar shifts, magnetic field changes, and weather changes suggest we are at the brink of another such change, while world governments appear to be engaged in a war of information and perception. Many observers of Earth’s ancient history–including scientists and aboriginal…
