    Climate scientist: I witnessed Australia on fire. Climate change is already here.

    Originally published: The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on January 7, 2020 by Michael E. Mann (more by The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists)  | (Posted Jan 11, 2020)

    Prior to beginning my sabbatical stay in Sydney, I took the opportunity this holiday season to vacation in Australia with my family. We went to see the Great Barrier Reef—one of the great wonders of this planet—while we still can. Subject to the twin assaults of warming-caused bleaching and ocean acidification, it will be gone in a matter of decades in the absence of a dramatic reduction in global carbon emissions.

    No, Iran didn’t exit the nuclear deal. And no, its nuclear announcement is not revenge for Soleimani.

    Originally published: The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on December 10, 2019 by Soheil Shayegh (more by The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists)  | (Posted Dec 16, 2019)

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. In recent years and in the face of unprecedented changes in the climate system, some previously unknown and risky solutions have been proposed to put a halt to the chain of climate disasters, or at least to slow down the speed of their onslaught.

    Adults won’t take climate change seriously. So we, the youth, are forced to strike.

    Originally published: The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on March 7, 2019 by Maddy Fernands, Isra Hirsi, Haven Coleman, Alexandria Villaseñor (more by The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists)  | (Posted Mar 11, 2019)

    The authors are the lead organizers of U.S. Youth Climate Strike, part of a global student movement inspired by 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg’s weekly school strikes in Sweden and other European countries.
