The beach is nothing like in our past where sea level rise was not an issue. Most of the wilderness beach on almost all of Padre…
Policy Language: Forest carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a function of forest health. Current academic work on forest CDR does not consider all forest health effects of current or future warming. Specifically, extreme acute events such as drought, fire, insect attack, and disease, are not modeled sufficiently to understand the permanence of forest CDR. With…

Why are climate change impacts so much worse than projected? What does it mean? Why don’t we do something? In a nutshell, science is conservative, it’s slow, and the great climate consensus that has evolved to protect our society compounds the understating nature of the industry of science. This creates a vastly understating public facing message. …
NASA: The Last 5 Years Hottest on Record? Yes, the last five years have been the hottest five years recorded since 1880. This is a big deal. But what we hear in the media portends bigger things. One of the biggest is the meaning of the yearly average temperature and its relationship to our old…
