Climate science is not new. In fact, it’s been around for hundreds of years! Let’s do some time travel and explore the comprehensive history of climate science. Let’s see what climate science theories hold up, 250+ years later.

So… Are Carbonated Drinks Bad for the Planet?
Before you swear off everything fizzy, let’s take a closer look…
Read moreCan I be eco-aware and still enjoy carbonated drinks?
It might not be the first thing you think when you hear that fssst when you open a can of soda, but you’ve just released some carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Gasp. IKR? But before you swear
Read moreDo Volcanoes Contribute to Global Warming?
Volcanic eruptions are often discussed in relation to climate change because they release CO2 (and other gases) into our atmosphere. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens shot about 10 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 9 hours. It currently takes humanity only 2.5 hours to put out the same amount.

A molecule of CO2 emitted in India or China has the same effect on the climate system as a molecule emitted in the United States. No matter where we are, climate change affects us all the same.
Read moreThe Truth About Carbon Offsetting
We’re often asked our opinions on carbon offsetting. It’s a tough subject to talk about because people generally have a preconceived idea that this is a solution to Climate Change. We’ll cut you off at the pass – it’s not.

Today, we’re taking a look at the ocean and why it’s so important to sustaining human life. Off the top of our noggins, half the oxygen we breathe comes from plankton in our oceans, 15% of our global diet is from seafood, and the ocean helps to regulate our climate through carbon sequestration. Phew!
Read moreOur Warming Waters – devastating for so many reasons!
When we think about global warming, our first thought is usually about heat trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases. But the phenomenon of global warming, one of the major symptoms of climate change, is also causing the warming of our oceans. A while ago we explored the rising sea levels — and touched on the reasons and expected impacts. But it’s time to wade deeper into the health of our oceans.
