There was no ambiguity to the title of the juried science journal article: “Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.” Any year within this century, ocean currents will completely stop if we continue to emit the same level of greenhouse gasses as we do today. When the movement of the Atlantic…
Excessive greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere are warming our planet, damaging ecosystems, and increasing extreme weather events with devastating costs. There are currently 422 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, but scientists have set the critical goal of reducing those levels to 350 ppm. The question is, where can that carbon go? Soil is the…

Because we in a drought” “Fertilizer creates sunspills. I feel that could be lower down.”…
Off the coast of Maine, an explosive exhalation of air swept my attention over the sailboat’s starboard rail.
