Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
The consensus over global warming, which is as strong as ever among scientists, now appears unstable in the eyes of the public.
–London Times
If the conservative leaning London Times says so, then it must be true. But joking aside, as George Monbiot has bemoaned, people are not scientists and their opinions on climate change are generally [...]
High population density equals less waste, fewer emissions and more efficient use of resources. In short, urban living is more environmentally friendly than rural or suburban lifestyles. This is the argument of David Owen, author of the book Green Metropolis: What the City Can Teach the Country About True Sustainability.
This isn’t an argument that naturally [...]
Today is a day for busting out all the green clothing you can find and celebrating all that is Irish. Parades are happening, taverns and pubs are overflowing, and many places (and even people) are decorated with shamrocks.
Well, perhaps everywhere but Ireland itself.
It may sound strange that the country St. Patrick’s Day is all [...]

The much-anticipated novel on climate change from the man known as ‘England’s national author’ is finally hitting the shelves.
Solar by Ian McEwan follows a Nobel laureate physicist named Michael Beardwell, who later becomes a green energy entrepreneur. According to a review in Saturday’s Guardian by Christopher Tayler, Solar is a timely, yet non-preachy story set [...]
Sandstorms have been plaguing China’s western province of Xinjiang, significantly lowering visibility and causing temperatures to drop.
The locals said they had not seen such strong winds in 10 to 15 years and some authorities expressed concern the storm might have affected agriculture in the region.

Here is a video (with Chinese commentary) from China’s state [...]
Tropical Cyclone Tomas hit Fiji’s northern islands Monday evening (local time) with winds of up to 275 km/h (170 mph) and heavy rain showers. Currently, there is no immediate report of extreme damage.
The Category 4 storm is supposed to be the heaviest cyclone to hit the islands in the past twenty years, and it’s the [...]
Over the last few years I’ve read a lot of science fiction – or rather ’speculative fiction’ on floods. Massive, destructive, Earth-drowning floods. You know, when runaway climate change causes the polar ice caps to melt and suddenly the Statue of Liberty is nothing but a torch thrusting out from the waters of the New [...]
There is a saying that “birds of a feather flock together”. However, that’s not always a good thing—especially when it means that climate change is pushing 67 bird species towards extinction.
All of these particular birds are of the oceanic variety—albatrosses, puffins and so forth. They are at risk for 2 main reasons:
They don’t produce many [...]
