Just Hot Air?

Posted on August 28, 2018 by climatechangefork

A few days ago I got a message on Facebook from my friend who edits this blog. She sent me the cartoon above by Rex A. Jones with the caveat that it seemed reductionist and inaccurate. I was a bit … Continue reading →

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 →

Feedback

Posted on July 10, 2018 by climatechangefork

I wrote my last blog in the middle of a heat wave that covered the city where I live along with great swaths of the East Coast and other parts of the world. The heat wave lasted almost a week; … 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 →

Vulnerabilities: Coral Reefs

Posted on June 26, 2018 by climatechangefork

In one of my earliest blogs (July 31, 2012), I talked a little bit about the start of my interest in man-made contributions to global climate change. Up until that time my main academic interest was focused on energy use. … 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 →

Ocean Health Issues – How Do We Measure Health?

Posted on June 5, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week’s blog was an introduction to the vulnerabilities that we face with the deterioration of our oceans. It paid particular attention to the recently published study of evidence associating the 4th mass extinction with ocean deoxygenation – which effectively … Continue reading →
