Below are three graphs.  The first of these is representative of a linear increase in something.  That is to say, this graph shows a steady increase leading to a predictable impact.  Our minds work best in a linear context where we can see a trend and readily extrapolate the impact on our lives.  We can […]

Three and four years ago, when I was giving Planet In Distress seminars, I would point to a food insecurity map of Africa and say of the countries that were indicated as food insecure, “This is where we will see conflict next.”  All the food insecure countries at that time were in Northern Africa.  As […]

A landmark lawsuit has been making its way to court over the past two years.  A group of 21 young people and pre-eminent climate scientist James Hansen are suing the federal government in an attempt to force the government to base climate policy on current science.  This would have the practical effect of forcing the […]

I have written many posts here about the speed at which the oceans are collapsing and disorganizing.  I have also suggested that all earth systems are in accelerating decay at roughly the same rate, but we have the best historic data (and best current data sources) on our oceans, so the decline is most obvious […]

I don’t often publish two posts in one day, but after writing my last post I came across a short article in the New Yorker.  Now, because I think the New Yorker is the best magazine in the world,  I am of course predisposed to link to articles there.  Especially this one, which talks about a […]

Yes, it is an El Nino year.  And yes, this El Nino is one of the strongest on record, if not the strongest.  But still, what we are seeing on a global basis is far more than just El Nino.  In fact, El Nino only serves to both exacerbate and mask the disruptions going on.  […]
