Access to clean drinking water is becoming more and more problematic. More and more watersheds, aquifers, groundwater are being polluted, contaminated. Obviously, this is very serious problem that can

I discuss the accelerating pace of polar ice loss in both hemispheres.

As the planet warms, the energy imparted into the oceans is making for waves that are bigger and stronger packng more power. This can lead to devastating effects on coastlines, but also provide opportunities

I discuss recent findings that are troubling. The permafrost is being affected more so than previously thought with the potential for more thawing deeper down. This of course has the potential to release

I discuss some of the parameters used to assess the health of forests.

Earth is warming at a higher rate than previously thought. The ramifications of this to humans is and will be severe.
