Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Nature is known to be both kind and cruel; but regardless of what mood strikes, Nature is always wonderful. However, there are times when bad things happen that Nature did not intend; things that are caused by too much intrusion and interference. Due to these interferences, far too many creatures have suffered and it may [...]
Although a global treaty on climate change is not likely to happen this year either, we may at least see a decent amount of effort put into stopping deforestation.
During the COP-15 event, along with the “accord”, 6 nations also pledged a total of 3.5 billion dollars towards helping developing nations fight the ongoing deforestation [...]
The main opposition to legislation connected to climate change seems to stem from a public and corporate outcry against paying higher taxes. This could in many instances be interpreted as a selfish reason to oppose any government-backed climate or environmental action. A more sympathetic take on the opposition to regulating global emissions could focus on [...]
The lowest country in the world may have found an interesting solution to a rather alarming problem.
The Maldives is an absolutely amazing place, consisting of 26 atolls (a ring of coral reef) and nearly 1200 small islands. It’s also severely affected by climate change. Some people say the islands are sinking. In fact, they only [...]
For the longest time, CO2 was considered the main culprit in global warming. Many would pin climate change issues on this particular greenhouse gas. However, it seems another such gas intends to make its presence feared all the same: Methane.
This greenhouse gas has been sneaking its way into the atmosphere more rapidly than scientists previously [...]
The politicization of science class in the American public education system is nothing new, the main issue of contention being the teaching of evolution or natural selection in biology classes.
Recently, however, teaching climate change in state schools has come under fire from skeptics in much the same way that evolution in the science curriculum has [...]
The world today faces two main problems: the economy and the environment. Some would suggest these 2 issues go hand-in-hand. Many have different ideas on how to deal with them. However, very few can agree on what should be done about them. Recently, I was sent a rather interesting video that gives some interesting ideas [...]
