EPAja Vu
Failing to stop the assault on the tools to even track our GHG emissions will mean at best the U.S. becoming a pariah state, at worst it can derail the global efforts to curb climate change and progress to transition beyond fossil fuels. Not an optimal outcome in either case, and certainly worth fighting to prevent—one public hearing at a time.
How journalism facilitates action
Journalism at its best doesn’t demand credit. It demands results. And it earns them by doing the mundane things that make democracies and markets less blind: showing up, listening, checking, publishing, and then following up until the record itself begins to do the work.
Can authoritarians solve our environmental problems?
Frustrated environmental advocates sometimes in frustration think that only a dictator can solve our environmental problems. They should think again.
Can We Save the World’s Largest Flowers From the Brink of Extinction?
The 42 known species of the genus Rafflesia are under threat due to deforestation and habitat destruction.
Is the 6ME Hyperbole?
To the extent that modernity remains “real,” so does a 6ME: they go together. Maybe, then, it’s modernity that’s hyperbole. It still rhymes.
Another Orca Mother Spotted Pushing Her Dead Calf
The Lummi, who consider themselves related to these whales and have lived amongst them for millennia, say these mother whales are not only grieving, they are communicating, calling out for us to see their plight.
When We Restore Forests, We Also Preserve Bird Habitats
Lands vital for climate resilience and the forestry industry are also critical habitats for declining bird species, offering a rare opportunity to align conservation with ecosystem services and secure a resilient future for both birds and people.
The myth of managing the biosphere
A recent piece in New Scientist has reminded me that it is a myth that humans, if they are wise and clever enough, can learn to “manage” the biosphere.
Allowing Space for Nature: Rewilding to Heal the Earth
Thus, although rewilding is often thought of as keeping humans “away”, in fact, people must be integrated into much of the rewilding process, living alongside and allowing space for “wildness”.
Why We Need Forests: Their Vital Role in Climate Dynamics, Rain, and The Biotic Pump
In this episode, Nate is joined by physicist Anastassia Makarieva about the critical yet often overlooked role forests play in maintaining ecological balance and climate stability.
Banking on Pollen
Researchers in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture bank pollen for some species, but the strategy has been largely overlooked for wild plants. Wolkis sees it as an exciting possibility for conserving the genetic biodiversity of exceptional species with little need for extra infrastructure investment.
