Last night the NOAA administrator gave a public lecture to a packed auditorium here on campus. Although her talk wasn’t particularly beefy, I captured a few interesting tidbits: It was refreshing to hear a government official state her steadfast optimism, and urge scientists . . . → Read More: Jane Lubchenco’s message to scientists

First, it’s good to know that most skeptic arguments begin with a fact. At best, this fact is taken out of context. At worst, this fact (or data . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on Confronting Climate Change Skeptics

Do you think this is an article describing the latest research on how human-generated carbon dioxide emissions . . . → Read More: From the Editor’s Desk: Confronting Climate Contrarianism
If the impending coral death in the Caribbean didn’t make you nauseous… International marine scientists say that a huge coral death which has struck Southeast Asian and Indian Ocean reefs over recent months has highlighted the urgency of controlling global carbon emissions. Many reefs are dead or dying across the Indian Ocean and into the Coral . . . → Read More: Worst coral death strikes at Southeast Asia
