Christmas Eve Sunset
1 degree
The global average temperature is about 1° Fahrenheit higher than it was a century ago. This one degree has caused a lot of fuss, including one of my least favorite vice presidents, Al Gore, winning a share of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The fuss isn’t all bad. I may disagree with the way that [...]

Do these observed climate changes represent a pollution problem on [...]

“I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, ‘Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert.’ “
- Demetri Martin, New York Magazine, October 3, 2005
I just returned from a trip to Arizona. In that great land, where the cactus milk flows like honey, I realized that [...]
