Climate expert: Alaska has resources to be global leader in energy
“Alaska is on the front lines of experiencing the impacts of a changing climate. The average temperature here in Alaska and across Northern Canada is changing twice as fast as the rest of the world,” said Hayhoe. “So what we’re seeing is longer wildfire seasons, more smoke days, invasive species spreading north, rising sea levels, thawing permafrost, crumbling coastlines, receding glaciers.”
This Texas climate scientist wants to help Alaskans address global warming – by talking about it – Alaska Public Media
Alaska’s relationship with climate change is complicated. It’s warming faster here than in any other state – wildfires and thawing permafrost are wreaking havoc on infrastructure. Weird things are happening to salmon. At the same time, there’s no consensus about how to deal with that – Alaska’s economy runs on fossil fuels, and the state lacks a formal policy to respond to global warming.
How Has Climate Change Affected Hurricane Dorian?
The links between hurricanes and climate change are complex, but some aspects are getting clearer. Tropical storms draw their energy from ocean heat – and more than 90 percent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gas emissions is being stored in the ocean. Storms that survive the cradle of formation can intensify quickly and become immensely powerful.

One of America’s top climate scientists is an evangelical Christian. She’s on a mission to persuade skeptics. – The Washington Post
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was shapeless and barren, so God added light and water and land and sky and plants and animals and humans. If you extend this belief forward, then God also created coal and oil and gas, which we began burning to do our own creating, on a massive scale.
