Climate Change and Environment
- Wiped out: America's love of luxury toilet paper is destroying Canadian forests. Major brands’ refusal to use sustainable materials is having a devastating impact on forests and climate, new report says.
- Hurricane Dorian Was Worthy of a Category 6 Rating. The residents of the Bahamas would probably agree.
- How Big Agriculture Is Preventing Farmers From Combattimg Climate Change. Small farms couild help save the planet, if we let them.
- New Studies Warn of Cataclysmic Solar Superstorms. We need to be better prepared for huge solar storms.
- How Chaos Will Unfold if Trump Opens the Tongass to Logging. This is America's Amazon and Trump wants to kill it.
- Climate Change Will Cost Us Even More Than We Think. Economists greatly underestimate the price tag on harsher weather and higher seas. Why is that?
Politics
- Political Scenarios for Climate Disaster. "There is no realistic scenario for addressing climate change that does not involve a comprehensive reorganization of human societies in the reasonably near future."
- The silenced: meet the climate whistleblowers muzzled by Trump. Six whistleblowers and ex-government scientists describe how the Trump administration made them bury climate science – and why they won’t stay quiet.
Technology
- 'Almost No One Out There Thinks That Isaac Asimov's Three Laws Could Work For Truly Intelligent AI'. I think most SF wirters figured that out years ago.
- The Russian hackers who hit the 2016 election have been very busy since. They just don't give up, and I would be very surprised if they were not active in the recent Canadian federal election.
- Climate change could hasten deterioration of US bridge infrastructure. Study demonstrates need to rethink nation's priority order of bridge repair
