The Coming Decline of US Dollar Dominance
The highest-ranking officials in the EU have been toiling away around the clock in an effort to devise a long-term solution to the worsening energy crisis. On the other hand, they do not anticipate that their current strategy will result in fruitful long-term results.

November 2022 Is A Pivotal Month For Sustainability
As we move to the fall of 2022, we should note that November is a busy month with sustainability and green growth summits and opportunities. These include the Egypt Climate Conference of the Parties COP27 and the Group of 20 summit in Indonesia. These events are taking place during an economic recession, a war between Russia and Ukraine, and a very fragile global economy affected by high inflation, supply chain disruptions and post-Covid traumas.

Russia and China Joint Military Display Hypersonic Tech Superiority That Both U.S and NATO Will Never Want to Challenge
U.S’s intention to deplete Russia military hardware seems again not be working, as the Joint military exercise conducted by Russia and China shows Russia’s hidden military might with full display of their high tech weaponries far exceeding those used in Ukraine .Yet the U.S pumping so much money and sending billion worth of values of military supports seems to be depleting itself rather than Russia instead .

Keeping Fruit Time
Gardening is an exercise in stubborn, fragrant faith: that these sticks you hold in a feathery root ball will somehow turn pliant and shoot wild into the sunshine, offering fruit when you least expect it. But that's just what happened when my husband and I planted our first blackberry bush in late February on an unusually warm weekend here in Oxford, Mississippi, just before the pandemic.

On the Moral Hazards of Carbon Dioxide Removal
Climate change science involves a lot of math. There's a great deal of calculus, plus all those formulas and models to understand how planetary physics works. But some of the most important climate math is no more complicated than basic arithmetic. Take the remaining "carbon budget" we have to avoid catastrophic environmental changes, divide that by the volume of carbon pollution industrial society pumps into the atmosphere daily, and you get the amount of time we have left. It's not a big number. Seven years and change.

Do You Know Where Your Water Comes From?
It wasn’t until she was 26 and had one degree in environmental science and another in water recycling that Nina Gordon-Kirsch learned where the water in her faucet came from. The Mokelumne River, which carries snowmelt from the Sierra through the Central Valley and out to the San Francisco Bay delta, is surprisingly little-known considering how many lives depend on it.

Do You Know the Story of The First Woman to Hike the Appalachian Trail?
Women’s History Month is almost over, but we can’t let it slip by without celebrating a woman who blazed trails literally and figuratively. Long before Cheryl Strayed’s book Wild popularized the notion of a woman attempting a long solo hike, Emma Gatewood walked the entire Appalachian Trail alone, which was unheard of in the 1950s. Author Ben Montgomery used her personal diaries and trail journals to write a detailed account of her journey in his book, Grandma Gatewood’s Walk (Chicago Review Press, April 2014; out in paperback April 2016), and his biography tells a story that still resonates 61 years later.

What I Learned From Wildfire Risk Tools
Wildfire is always on my mind: I live in a wooded rural community in southern Oregon that has been in a drought for several years. Fir trees are dying at an alarming rate, and nearby springs have slowed to a trickle. Since I moved here in 2014, at least two large wildfires have threatened our community; several smaller fires were snuffed out before blowing up.

This Is the Decade to Reduce Emissions
As the sun rose in Glasgow, over 20,000 people—delegates from individual nations, representatives of nongovernmental organizations, and activists—gathered in Scotland for the start of the United Nations’ two-week climate conference. Known as the Conference of the Parties, or COP26, it runs from Monday, November 1, to Friday, November 12, 2021.
