Ecological triage and other reasons get up in morning

Environmental Century: Like many environmental scientists and educators, I struggle to keep my deep sense of loss from overtaking my belief that we must not give up the fight to preserve the living systems of Earth. The science is about as grim and daunting as it can be. We have lost much of the nature that we believed so precious and we will certainly lose much more. Bearing witness is soul crushing. Although spiritual practice eases the pain, many of us who are aware of the depth of transformation underway struggle daily...

EcoInternet: Environmental awareness must soon reach a critical mass, whereby massive societal resources are re-allocated to scale up solutions in a great ecological transition; before biosphere, social, and economic collapse become unavoidable. An approaching ecological inflection point reflects a narrow band of opportunity to repair fragmented, quivering nature, clearly at its breaking point, before it is too late. "Only by leaving fossil fuels in the ground and returning humanity to a sea of nature can...

PhysOrg: For thousands of years, the marshes at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern day Iraq were an oasis of green in a dry landscape, hosting a wealth of wildlife. The culture of the Marsh Arab, or Ma'dan, people who live there is tightly interwoven with the ecosystem of the marshes. The once dense and ubiquitous common reed (Phragmites australis) served as raw material for homes, handicrafts, tools, and animal fodder for thousands of years. Distinctive mudhif communal houses, built...

Education must focus efforts on ecological literacy, Matt Henderson says

CBC: Our species has just reached a new high. The average temperature in the northern hemisphere reached two degrees Celsius above normal for the first time on March 3 a milestone long held to be a dangerous level of warming. In fact, the Paris Agreement on the environment adopted by 195 countries in December works to limit global warming to less than two degrees Celsius.

5 Years After Fukushima, No End in Sight to Ecological Fallout
2016-03-05 16:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a tsunami, which in turn produced equipment failures and the release of radioactive material at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The disaster is the single largest release of radioactivity into the ocean and one of only two Level 7 nuclear disasters in world history--the other being Chernobyl. The environmental impacts of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster are already becoming apparent, according to a new analysis...
