Today we’re talking about some terms that often cause more than a bit of confusion, and are sometimes used interchangeably, incorrectly: weather, climate, global warming, and climate change.
Read moreWe’ve talked about the Paris Agreement before, the international treaty on climate change adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in December of 2015. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. But why? Today, let’s talk about what that 1.5 degrees actually means.

It’s almost Halloween, the spookiest time of the year, complete with ghosts and goblins, witches and black cats, scary stories and… climate change? Most of us have at least some small knowledge of the increasing effects of climate change on our planet—increased global temperatures, warming seas, rising seas, melting ice caps, bleaching corals, biodiversity loss, fires, floods, and more. There are, however, some spookier anomalies taking place around the world–so many, in fact, our first article on the subject screamed for a second.
Read moreHey swrmers! Welcome back to the Hive! As our world seems to become more and more divided, it becomes clearer to us at the Hive, that the only way forward is together. So, we’re bringing it back to the Sustainable Development Goals this week.
Read moreToday, we’re going to look at Climate Change Adaptation Strategies. But remember, rather than only continuing to plan and strategize our adaptation to climate change, we need to come together to minimize the changes to our climate and global warming. Innovation and systemic changes are vital to this. Research whether your local or national administrators have such plans in place and hold them accountable if they are not rigid enough–or if they don’t even have a plan–by using your vote.
Read moreWhile some still seem to find it difficult to believe, and claim that even science doesn’t know what’s happening, we disagree. And we’re not the only ones. Climate scientists, leaders around the world, and the people of our planet who are facing existential threats to their homes, lives, and livelihoods all understand that climate change is real. And it is happening right now.
Read moreToday, 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!
