Young Climate Warriors Take Center Stage

A New Generation Takes the Helm — The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. That was at a time when the Apollo program was pushing the frontier of space further from home with each new mission. We were thrilled to watch every countdown, every blastoff, every spacewalk, every splashdown. …

The Willamette in Winter

I just returned from an Oregon scouting trip where Eugene, Salem, Portland and many of the small towns and rural byways of the Willamette Valley were on my itinerary. I’ve been to so many places in the United States that it’s rare for me to experience entirely fresh scenery. …

When the Messenger of Fate appears, each must choose a path forward — One evening four brothers — Prym, Puck, Paco, and Pepi — came together to grieve the passing of their father. After a while, the conversation tilted towards their own mortality, and they began to explore their end of life wishes. Prym pondered the uncertainty of it all, “How much time…

Earth Day and the Importance of Being Optimistic

Each year on April 22nd we measure our shortcomings, repledge our commitment to a healthy Earth, and assess the work yet to be done. We’ve been doing this for more than five decades. Some years we have reason to be proud, other years we see nothing but doom and gloom. …

The Temperature Threshold We Don’t Want to Reach

What Does 2°C Mean in Terms of Human Survivability? — Climate change models foretell of rising sea levels and large-scale coastal inundations.

The Forgotten Father of Climatology

Alexander von Humboldt’s Contributions to Natural Science Were Ahead of His Time — Wikipedia has a list of people considered to be Father or Mother of a Scientific Field, but it fails to nominate anyone for the study of climatology.

Fifteen Minutes

Who is this author, poet, healer, dreamer? — Was it Warhol who proclaimed that we each could gain fame or was it Finkelstein who grimaced — “just for fifteen minutes.” Either way, it became more like a game with virals and spirals of repeat tweets where the cheats keep gaining acclaim.
