How the U.S. Military Is Destroying the Planet w/ Abby Martin

But its long-term rainfall record suggests the Southern Ocean—the engine room of global heat and carbon uptake—is changing faster and more dramatically than we thought.

The next challenge is to determine how far this signal extends across the storm track, and what it means for the climate system we all depend on

Storms in the Southern Ocean are producing more rain—and the consequences could be global

If you ever find yourself on Macquarie Island—a narrow, wind-lashed ridge halfway between Tasmania and Antarctica—the first thing you'll notice is the wildlife. Elephant seals sprawl across dark beaches. King penguins march up mossy slopes. Albatrosses circle over vast, treeless uplands.

I liked this anthology a lot. I was particularly interested by the excerpts of Richard Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Ward, Hans Jonas and Peter Sloterdijk. #ecology

Climate change threatens Europe's remaining peatlands, study shows

Only 7% of Europe's original area of peatlands remain. What's more: their climate boundaries are shifting

Climate change threatens Europe's remaining peatlands, study shows

Only 7% of Europe's original area of peatlands remain. What's more: their climate boundaries are shifting. An international study led by Wageningen University as part of the WaterLANDS project analyzed the current distribution of peatlands and mapped their likelihood of remaining under future climate scenarios. They conclude that climate change will massively impact peatland functioning except for the most cool and wet parts of northern Scandinavia, Ireland, Scotland and in the mountains.

I’ve been thinking about why helping others feels so natural.

What if we’re not separate at all?
What if people, animals, plants — all of us — are just different expressions of Earth itself?

I wrote a small piece about this idea, and how seeing ourselves as one organism changes everything.

If you’re curious, have a read and share your thoughts.

We’re One: Why Helping Others Feels Good and What It Says About Earth

Exploring the idea that all living beings are expressions of one planetary organism — and why kindness, cooperation, and compassion feel so natural when we see ourselves as part of Earth rather than separate from it.

Floods and Storms Are Ravaging the Jersey Shore. Why Do We Keep Building It Back?

The government has spent more than $3 billion on beach replenishment over the past four decades. But with worsening climate change, experts say more dramatic change is in order

Floods and Storms Are Ravaging the Jersey Shore. Why Do We Keep Building It Back?

Floods, storms and rising seas at the Jersey Shore prompt continual beach replenishment and rebuilding. Experts say more dramatic change is needed.
