🌍 Today is World Environment Day — a moment to celebrate the beauty, complexity, and resilience of our planet — and to remember just how much it needs us right now.

As climate misinformation spreads, science comes under attack, and environmental organizations face funding cuts, our voices and actions matter more than ever. The health of our planet is not a partisan issue — it's a human one.

From rising sea levels to biodiversity loss, the signs are clear. But so is our power. Whether you're reducing waste, supporting climate education, planting trees, or holding leaders accountable, your contribution counts.

💚 Our environment protects us — it’s time we return the favor.

It’s not that humans haven’t been to Mars. In an age when much of our human interaction and experience of the external world is mediated by some form of technology, we’ve seen video feeds from Mars almost as good as a Zoom call.

Exploring the solar system is a worthy goal, critical for understanding reality and our place within it. Exploration shouldn’t imply colonization.

I’ve been a space nerd since I was a kid in the 60s. I still feel that boyish excitement of following the NASA Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.

Mars is different.

In this short episode, I review the highly informative and thoroughly entertaining City on Mars, by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith. With a wry sense of humor, the book takes down the idea that colonizing Mars is technically, ethically, or politically feasible.

Environmental advocates have launched a legal challenge against former President Donald Trump's directive permitting commercial fishing in a protected Pacific monument. This lawsuit seeks to counter actions that threaten vital marine ecosystems and emphasizes the need for stringent conservation efforts. The Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, established to safeguard diverse marine life, now faces significant risks due to increased fishing activities.

Environmentalists argue that the order undermines years of conservation work aimed at preserving these critical habitats, which are home to numerous endangered species. They assert that allowing commercial fishing could have detrimental effects on the fragile ecosystems within the monument, disrupting the balance of marine life and leading to long-term ecological consequences.

The case brings to light the tension between economic interests and environmental preservation, highlighting the ongoing debate over the management of national marine resources. Such policies, the plaintiffs contend, should prioritize sustainability and protection over profit, ensuring the health of our oceans for future generations.

As this lawsuit unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the crucial role that environmental stewardship plays in safeguarding our planet’s biodiversity. The outcome may set a significant precedent for the future of conservation efforts and fishing regulations in protected areas.

The Parrot and the Igloo: A Long, Winding Road from Climate Science to Climate Denial

The climate scientist’s lament: “Global warming isn’t an opinion; it’s an equation.” That’s how David Lispky, author of the bestseller The Parrot and Igloo, summed up the fracture between climate science and the misguided narrative that has hobbled our response to climate change for more than a century.

“Global warming,” Lipsky writes in the book, “is a long history spent in the hall of ironies.”

Listen to our conversation in this episode of the Global Warming is Real podcast.
