The real realisation here is that forest stewardship is actually going to look messier and more counterintuitive than our climate policy models often predict. It means accepting that safeguarding these sinks might actually require stepping back into the woods with chain saws and planting bags while punching holes in the dark canopy and thinning out the rows. Maybe, it's time to give up the neat, comforting illusion of the orderly green fortress in exchange for something patchier, less predictable, and actually equipped to survive what's coming...

Lake ice is mostly seasonal ice that forms on water bodies such as lakes and lagoons when the air temperature is below 0°C for long enough to drop the surface water temperature to or below 0°C. First, some ice crystals begin to form at the lake surface and then develop into a continuous layer that covers the surface partially or completely.

New research shows that 2,000 years ago, remnants of an Arctic ice sheet began growing again, marking the start of a new glacial period--what we commonly call an ice age. But by the 1960s, global warming had raised summer temperatures enough to reve...

Martin Fenner, who created and maintains Rogue Scholar, has tentatively proposed a simple split into seven categories, and is seeking feedback.

Aberfan is located in the South Wales Valleys and developed as a coal mining village during the industrial revolution in the mid-1800s. The village is much like any of the other villages scattered across the region - rows on rows of small terrace houses, nestled into the sides and bottom of steep, glacially eroded valleys. However, this quiet, beautiful village is also known across the world for its connection to one of the UK's worst mining disasters.
