My current favourite conservative meme is a video showing Joe Rogan proposing to his guest, "You have people like Bill Gates saying that ‘planting trees to deal with carbon is ridiculous, that’s a ridiculous way to do it…’ How is that ridiculous? They literally turn CO₂ into oxygen. It is their food." There’s so much to love about this, but we can just stick with the planting of trees and carbon offsetting and don’t need to get into the politics around Bill Gates or how ‘20s

A team of researchers from Conservation International conducted a survey in the heart of Peru during the summer of 2022. Their rapid assessment bulletin was just now published . In their report, Conservation International’s Rapid Assessment Program  team (a kind of biologist Special Forces unit, like the Green Berets but instead of suppressed rifles and thermal goggles they come carrying microscopes and PhDs in butterfly reproduction) revealed a remarkable diversity in Peru’s

In 2020 a massive wildfire, known as the CZU Lightening Complex Fire , broke out in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Initially, several small fires were sparked by lightening. Those fires eventually grew and coalesced into one much larger conflagration. Part of that fire surrounded and consumed the ancient old-growth forests of Big Basin Redwoods State Park , along California’s central coast, just south of San Francisco and north of Monterey Bay. Though ignited by an unusual lightn

Though I bought " A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency " the moment it came out, back in 2020, only now did I finish reading it. ( You should go buy five copies .) Obviously, as the title suggests, it's a book about transforming our society with a reorientation toward a concern for climate and addressing the problems we face. In spelling out just how all this will work, the author starts by quoting Gramsci. * And, well, it goes downhill fast from there. Am

This week, authorities have given us things like: “ July 2023 is set to be the hottest month ever recorded in human history .” “July isn't even over and it's projected to be the hottest month humanity has ever experienced.” “The North Atlantic just reached its highest temperature in recorded history just two days after the Mediterranean Sea reached its highest temperature in recorded history.” I love this. These folks consistently tell us how passionate they are about precisi
