The Domino Effect

Posted on August 21, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week’s title was resolutely optimistic, drawing inspiration from the game of bridge and summing up the philosophy behind my teaching. After this summer, however, this attitude is a bit difficult to maintain. One thing I am constantly learning from … Continue reading →

Giving Up is Not an Option: Let’s Focus on What We Still Can Do

Posted on August 14, 2018 by climatechangefork

Bridge used to be one of my favorite social activities (when my free time was a bit more abundant). To those not familiar with the rules, the basic structure is simple: one deck of cards, two teams of two. Wikipedia … Continue reading →

Climate Change and Federal Government Funding

Posted on August 7, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week I looked at four Republican senators’ efforts to terminate government funding for television meteorologists who mention climate change as part of the forecast. I also discussed the issue in light of the global heat wave and the havoc … Continue reading →

Science or Indoctrination?

Posted on July 31, 2018 by climatechangefork

Earlier this month (July 3rd and 10th) I wrote two blogs about a heat wave that was affecting my home of NYC and how it impacted me. The weather here now is lovely (around 85oF, with bearable humidity and no … Continue reading →

Location Sensitivities of Other Biota

Posted on July 24, 2018 by climatechangefork

My last blog ended with a promise that I would look into location sensitivity of other foods and drinks – after all, humans can’t survive on wine alone. When I Googled “climate change impact,” these were my top results: Marine … Continue reading →

Cheers – Let’s Drink to the Future of Wine!

Posted on July 17, 2018 by climatechangefork

I am finally getting around to writing the blog I promised about wine. Reuters recently summarized the current state of the wine industry: Wine production totaled 250 million hectoliters last year, down 8.6 percent from 2016, data from the Paris-based … Continue reading →

Heat Wave

Posted on July 3, 2018 by climatechangefork

My school’s academic year is over and the summer break has started in full swing. Usually I take this time for a vacation and some new research initiatives. It is not surprising that I have far more flexibility now than … Continue reading →

Uncertainties Can Bring The Best Possible Outcomes, The Worst Possible Outcomes, and Everything In Between: Ocean Currents

Posted on June 19, 2018 by climatechangefork

I have addressed uncertainty on a number of previous occasions (December 10, 2012; May 16, 2017; January 9, 2018; and other blogs) but some important work came to light recently that put this idea to a test. Most of the … Continue reading →

The Economic Impacts of Ocean Decline

Posted on June 12, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week’s blog about the Ocean Health Index stressed the importance of including the sustainability of human impacts in any discussions about ocean health (this accounted for about 50% of the indexing). This blog will focus on the economic impacts … Continue reading →
