How do Climate Change Models Work?
Climate change models are complex computer-based tools used by scientists to simulate and understand the Earth’s climate system and make projections about future climate conditions. These models are essential for studying the potential impacts of climate change and for informing policy decisions. Watch a TedX video on Climate Modeling Here. Here’s an overview of how […]

What does it mean that Humans Have Crossed 6 of 9 ‘Planetary Boundaries’?
The concept of “Planetary Boundaries” was introduced in environmental science to describe the limits within which humanity can safely operate to maintain a stable and hospitable planet. These boundaries represent key Earth system processes and are defined to help us understand the environmental limits beyond which human activities could lead to irreversible and potentially catastrophic […]
How Can Water Restoration and Agroforestry Mitigate Climate Change?
Water restoration and agroforestry are two important strategies that can work together synergistically to significantly mitigate the impacts from climate change. They address different aspects of the issue, but both have the potential to sequester carbon, enhance ecosystems, and improve overall environmental resilience. Let’s look at each of these approaches in more detail: Water Restoration: […]
