Climate Impacts Day: A chance to connect the dots
Climate change is happening now, and it's up to all of us to connect the dots between the climate crisis and the extreme weather we've seen around the world. So we're thrilled that in just a few days, our friends at 350.org are hosting Climate Impacts Day in order to share the message that climate change truly does affect us all.April 20, 2012 | 9:03 AM
Oyster-lovers beware ... this delicacy could become a rarity
As an ardent foodie, I was concerned to see the results of a new study last week. The study warns that oyster production may decline due to rising carbon dioxide levels. Researchers found that higher levels of carbon dioxide in ocean water made the water more acidic and reduced the ability of oyster larvae to develop shells. This impaired the ability of oysters to grow at a normal pace, and led to a decline in yield.April 10, 2012 | 12:59 PM
March 2012: The warmest March since 1895
In many ways it's been a beautiful spring, but something about it just hasn't been right. The cherry blossoms here in D.C. bloomed early, the bright pinks and reds of the azaleas at the Masters were missing, and it seems like allergy season is taking on a whole new meaning.April 09, 2012 | 2:02 PM
Butterflies: Indicators of climate change, models for solar energy?
Can you think of other examples in which the natural world has served for such inspiration? Where else in nature can we look to support our metamorphosis from a fossil-fuel to clean-energy economy? Leave a comment and let us know.March 30, 2012 | 12:10 PM
"I'm betting on the future"
Every year we give billions of our hard-earned tax dollars to oil and gas companies that continue to pollute our planet even as we pay ever-higher prices at the pump. We pay high prices at the pump, while they receive billions in taxpayer dollars. The President couldn't have said it any better, "It's like hitting the American people twice."March 29, 2012 | 3:18 PM
Climate change and mental health
At The Climate Reality Project, we often say "climate change is happening here, now and everywhere." We are learning that "everywhere" is really "in every way" from a remarkable new report released by the National Wildlife Federation that reveals how climate change will affect mental health.March 29, 2012 | 12:10 PM
5 reasons why early spring isn't that great
As the world warms because of carbon pollution, spring may become less and less familiar. Or, as Yogi Berra is famously credited with saying, "The future ain't what it used to be." How are springs - or your spring plans - changing in your neighborhood? Tell us your story belowMarch 29, 2012 | 10:37 AM
Paying twice for the climate crisis

Is the soundtrack of spring changing in your backyard?
My spring soundtrack is early, but in other parts of the country it has been just plain weird. The Great Backyard Bird Count reports that 2012 was "the most unusual winter for birds in the count's 15-year history."March 22, 2012 | 12:25 PM
In Full Bloom?
Earlier this week, I rode my bike down to the National Mall to see the cherry blossoms. I needed to go because I had to see with my own eyes that the trees were blooming on March 19. This is well ahead of the time they normally bloom. Going to see the Cherry Blossoms usually happens near the end of March or beginning of April, not closer to mid-March.
