This just lays it all out: humans are causing the rapid climate changes we are now experiencing and will experience for some time, regardless of what we do at this point.

This is a good article that points out what many forget: it doesn't really matter to nature whether there are people who believe in climate change or people who deny it. It's happening, and it's happening much faster than even the worst case scenarios of just a year or two ago suggested. Good info about the ice sheets in Antartica.

There's No Negotiating With Nature
NT Rating: 2.0 | See All NT Reviews »

While it only deals with one study on the subject, this article effectively communicates the results of a study that shows that humans have a psychological need to see their social and political strucures sound and just. Hence the difficulty in changing any system of governance or way of life. For climate change, finding a way around this psychological roadblock is essential.

This is a great article about a study that describes the different reactions to the word "tax"; especially as it relates to climate initiatives.

"Tax" Is A Dirty Word

A great article from Chris Wood, it points out the huge environmental costs of cotton, how the US subsidizes cotton farmers, and the environmental costs, world-wide, of "natural" cotton textiles.

A good use of humor to illustrate a point: if guilt worked all the time, climate change would no longer be an issue. Activists have to take psychology into account if they want to be successful at changing the world.

This is a devastating article about how and why the VA fails so many veterans with PTSD. It should be required reading for anyone who supports the troops.

This is a look at studies of human nature, and how/why humans insist on fairness, even at great cost to themselves. Extrapolating this aspect of human psychology to explain resistance on climate change may strike some as far-fetched, but I think it explains a great deal.

This is a very short article that basically just announces and summarizes a new study that examines the effects of adolescent health on education outcomes. I'd like to see it developed a bit more. Otherwise, it's good to know about, and there are links at the bottom of the story to similar articles.

This is a good article with important information for people diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. How unfortunate for John Edwards to have such a thing named for him, "The Edwards Effect". Support needs to be available from the initial diagnosis of an illness to keep families together.

This is a good piece that about the realities of identity theft and it avoids the sensational. It isn't the computer genius hacking your computer you have to worry about, it's the dumpster diver getting information from your trash, or buying off someone at the DMV for information, that you have to worry about.
