Join CCL's quarterly Ask Me Anything (AMA) to discuss the latest IPCC report (AR6/WG1) and broader climate science. This session features Dana Nuccitelli, CCL Research Coordinator and leader of the Science Policy Network, alongside Dr. Ben Santer, a distinguished research scientist from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Dr. Santer is renowned for his pioneering "climate fingerprint" research, which identifies human influence on global climate. For deeper engagement, explore his work on climate fingerprints and his recent essay on the IPCC report. Additionally, CCL offers a Climate Science Basics Training for foundational understanding.

This interview from The Well features Arthur Brooks discussing metacognition—the act of thinking about thinking. Brooks explains how this skill helps us reflect on our emotional life, allowing us to evaluate feelings before reacting. This practice fosters greater emotional health, much like encouraging children to "use their words" instead of screaming.

Metacognition is a learnable skill requiring patience. Brooks stresses that negative emotions are normal and healthy; what matters is how we engage with them. Mastering this ability can enhance personal happiness and the well-being of others. Watch Arthur Brooks’s next interview: There is a formula for happiness — but it’s highly misunderstood.

Naturalist, artist, and explorer Roseann Hanson highlights the value of field sketching and journaling. She argues this analog practice, from the Stone Age to today, is crucial for connecting people to science and nature conservation and personal well-being in our digital age. With 40 years of experience, Hanson is an acclaimed author (*Nature Journaling for a Wild Life*) and co-organizer of the Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference. A Fellow of the Explorers Club and Royal Geographical Society, she teaches nature writing and field notes, drawing on extensive conservation work.

Climate change is already profoundly impacting humans, biodiversity, and natural communities. Extreme weather, habitat loss, and ocean changes are devastating wildlife globally, from polar bears

Climate change is already profoundly impacting humans, biodiversity, and natural communities. Extreme weather, habitat loss, and ocean changes are devastating wildlife globally, from polar bears to desert tortoises, and causing billions in human and economic damages. The U.S. alone suffered 22 billion-dollar weather disasters in 2020.

Urgent action is needed to expand renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Defenders is actively addressing these threats by developing adaptive conservation plans, advocating for increased funding, and ensuring renewable energy projects are responsibly sited to protect wildlife.

Maintaining human well-being across generations is a core sustainability challenge, intrinsically linked to clean air and climate change. Pollutants from sources like power plants and vehicles degrade air quality and drive climate change, which further exacerbates air quality issues. Addressing both simultaneously, with a people-centered approach, is crucial for present and future health.

Noelle Eckley Selin, an MIT Associate Professor, specializes in these interconnected issues. Her research uses atmospheric chemistry modeling to inform decision-making on air pollution, climate change, and hazardous substances. With a Harvard PhD and experience in science-policy interactions, Professor Selin's expertise is vital. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

David Keith reviews the science and technology of solar geoengineering, examining its potential to reduce climate risks, associated new risks, and current uncertainties. He proposes integrating solar geoengineering into a comprehensive 4D climate policy, which includes emissions cuts, carbon removal, and adaptation.

A distinguished expert, David Keith is a Harvard Professor of Applied Physics and Public Policy. He founded Carbon Engineering, a company developing technology to capture CO2 for carbon-neutral fuels. Best known for his work on solar geoengineering, he led Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research Program. He has authored over 200 academic publications and "A Case for Climate Engineering."

The session was moderated by Greg Bronevetsky.

The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) united astronauts from multiple nations, including Germany, Japan, US, and India, to send a vital message of solidarity, hope, and collaboration to political leaders concerning climate change. This powerful initiative aims to inspire action during a crucial time.

For deeper insight into the Overview Effect and astronaut experiences, explore "OVERVIEW" on YouTube and "PLANETARY," available on iTunes. The video was produced by astronaut Ron Garan and the award-winning Planetary Collective, in association with Daria Lopez-Alegria of Space Bridges.

After rowing the Atlantic and witnessing extensive plastic pollution, Met Office scientist Kate Salmon and her "Row for the Ocean" crew founded Plastic Free Exeter. Their goal is to make Exeter the UK's largest single-use 'plastic-free' city by 2020, demonstrating how local action can unite communities in addressing environmental challenges.
