Miami Herald: Now more than ever, it is crucial that we acknowledge the reality that is the Earths changing climate. Without question, this is one of the major challenges of our time and directly threatens the communities of South Florida. If left unaddressed, the consequences of a changing climate have the potential to adversely affect not only our families and neighbors, but the entire country. To view climate change through partisan lenses only detracts from efforts to discover practical solutions. This...

Salon: Democracy has not been doing well. For this reason, now is an awkward time to argue that it must be the fulcrum of the Anthropocene. In the United States and Europe, democracies have rushed into foolish wars and stumbled in the face of economic crises--or created those crises. At the time of writing, the North Atlantic democracies are splitting into elite technocrats, who wish they could govern without consulting the masses, and angry populists, who would like to liquidate the technocrats. Nondemocratic...

Don't dismiss the link between wildfires and climate change, scientists say

LA Times: Was Gov. Jerry Brown wrong to blame this year's epic California wildfires on climate change? An Oct. 18 Times article said he was; scientists and activists responding to that article say it's a lot more complicated. Tuesday, two letters that didn't weigh in on the science underpinning The Times' reporting were published. Since then, several experts have written to say the article was wrong to assert that climate change isn't fueling the state's historically large fires. Here are some of their...
