Veterans target US military’s outsized impact on the climate crisis
Veterans target US military’s outsized impact on the climate crisis With no mention of military emissions at COP26, a coalition is mobilizing to force the Pentagon to disclose and reduce its enormous carbon footprint. More than 100,000 people protested the United Nations Climate Change Convention, or COP26, in Glasgow last month, where they networked, forged […]
Not enough fossil fuels left to trigger another mass extinction
Not enough fossil fuels left to trigger another mass extinction Preface. Since both conventional and unconventional oil peaked in 2018, we clearly won’t be burning fossils at exponentially increasing rates until 2400 as the IPCC expected.

Strike for the Environment, Strike for Social Justice, Strike!
Strike for the Environment, Strike for Social Justice, Strike! Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair A very large chasm exists between those in power, including most of the 2020 presidential candidates, and environmentalists and scientists intent on acting now to resolve growing environmental crises. To reiterate what is known, the United Nations, through its IPCC and the IPBES committees, has […]
Global Warming, Carbon Dioxide and the Solar Minimum
Global Warming, Carbon Dioxide and the Solar Minimum Since Climate Change (CC) has been a constant of life on Gaia with the evolution of photosynthesis 3.2 billion years ago and has more complexities than this one essay can address; ergo, this article will explore co2’s historic contribution to global warming (GW) as well as explore the relationship […]

What Will You Say to Your Grandchildren?
What Will You Say to Your Grandchildren? Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Facing oncoming climate disaster, some argue for “Deep Adaptation”—that we must prepare for inevitable collapse. However, this orientation is dangerously flawed. It threatens to become a self-fulfilling prophecy by diluting the efforts toward positive change. What we really need right now is Deep […]
As the World Burns: Hurtling Towards an Unlivable Planet
As the World Burns: Hurtling Towards an Unlivable Planet Drawing by Nathaniel St. Clair The media and political establishments are diddling while the planet burns. Are we really supposed to take their games seriously as humanity veers ever more dangerously off the environmental cliff? In 2008, James Hansen, then head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space […]
Climacide: Survival Rebranding
Climacide: Survival Rebranding A 15-year old Swedish girl bitch slapped the world’s representatives at the recent climate conference in Poland. She stood before them and called them frauds and fakers, while they sat in limp silence. She said they’d had their chances to do something effective about the climate crisis, and they had failed. It […]

Can an Unequal Earth Beat Climate Change?
Can an Unequal Earth Beat Climate Change? Some 250 million years ago, life on Earth survived an existential climate crisis. But that Earth had a distinct advantage. No rich. We either keep fossil fuels in the ground, or all of us are going to fry. So essentially posits still another new blockbuster study on climate […]
