Much of the confusion around committed warming stems from mixing up two different concepts: a world where CO2 levels in the atmosphere remain at current levels; and a world where emissions reach net-zero and concentrations begin to fall.

The term rewilding is being used more broadly these days to refer to restoring diversity, variability, and function so that ecosystems can once again support the full diversity of species and become self-regulating and resilient to climate change.

As a writer, my work involves a search for small islands of coherence – that I can later describe – in which social and ecological relationships thrive together.

The more we wall ourselves off from nature, the more likely we are to continue on the path of climate chaos and extinction. Join Asher, Rob, and Jason on their search for how to reconnect with nature.

India has been added to the UK ‘red list’. With the country setting a global record for case numbers reported in a single day and reports of oxygen shortages and hospitals becoming overwhelmed, a year into this pandemic we may well be facing its most serious crisis yet.

Wasps are important facets of the natural world and have much to offer us, if we’d only take more notice.

Aviation’s core problem is not the 2.5% (or more of carbon emissions it contributes worldwide). Its problem is that carbon emissions are baked into its business model.

It may sound strange to suggest the fate of President Biden’s climate agenda will parallel that of Liz Cheney, Wyoming’s at-large Republican congressional representative, but hear me out.

This is a story about those people of the Congolese forests, about how their unique way of life is threatened by the very people who should be defending them and how rainforests actually thrive when humans adapt to a different way of life.

So, is green growth happening? The answer is no, not really. As of today, economic growth is still a vector of resource use and environmental degradation.
By Asher Miller, Rob Dietz, Jason Bradford, Resilience.org
But what, exactly, is progress, and is humanity preordained to achieve it? What if the modern concept of progress costs more than it’s worth and turns out to be a harmful myth?
