Five Ways To Make Your Life More Sustainable – State of the Planet

Photo: Lukasz Kobus/European Commission As exciting as it is when certain records are bested, others are better left alone.  Case in point: Last year was the warmest year on record. Global temperatures in 2024 were 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.28 degrees Celsius) above NASA’s 20th-century baseline (1951-1980), which tops the record set in 2023. The new […]

Paved with good intentions?

Occupation The issue was further detailed in the article “BR-319: Narratives, Business and Power”, published by Revista Cenarium in February.  According to the article, NGO Instituto Internacional de Educação do Brasil (IEB) produced a document falsely claiming that the Indigenous community had been consulted and had agreed to the reconstruction of the highway, provided that an […]

Melting Glaciers Reveal Clues to Climate Adaptation in Norway’s Mountains – State of the Planet

Glacial archaeologists have recently discovered the second prehistoric ski of a pair of skis at Digervarden, a mountain in central Norway. Found just five meters from where the first one was uncovered seven years earlier, the ski was radiocarbon-dated to 1,300 years ago. As global warming leads to more glacial retreat, many artifacts have surfaced […]

The consequences of oppressing diversity

But when diversity is constrained, whether by a dam or by the eradication of a top preditor, ecosystems become fragile and unravel. When diversity is suppressed, surprises can become more catastrophic, and novel pathogens are more likely to emerge and spread.  The story is much the same in human contexts – diversity of cultures, languages, […]

Why Is Modeling Climate More Complex Than Forecasting Weather? – State of the Planet

Satellite image of Hurricane Matthew.
