400 PPM: Are we even going to try to deal with...
On May 9 it was announced that the Carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere has passed the 400 parts per million (ppm) mark. The last time our planetary atmosphere was this carbonic, the world was a radically different place absent of arctic sea ice, covered in massive deserts with sea levels 40 meters higher than they are today. There were even camels in the Arctic. When I imagine this time I...

Rupert Murdoch, of no realtion to Rupert the bear,...
We at the TSES have been heartened by the recent surge in conversation about fossil fuels and their future in the United States. Due largely to looming deadlines, activists and advocates alike have been entrenched in public battles over fracking and the proposed Keystone Pipeline expansion. The rhetoric of this debate has become a kind of “he said she said” about environmental impacts,...

National relationships are infinitely complex. They are governed by a network of local, national and global regulations/laws/agreements that overlap, intersect and contradict. To compare international relations to a high school, in many ways trivializes the complexity of the situation at hand.

Have you fallen prey to the Game of Thrones book series? If you haven’t read them yet, you really should. If you have, you’ll know that the expression, “winter is coming” is a Stark family saying that refers both directly to the actual approach of cold weather but also metaphorically to the unavoidability of winter.
