The United States should immediately move to create a collection of strategic forest reserves in the Western U.S. to fight climate change and safeguard biodiversity, according to a scientific collaboration led by an Oregon State University ecologist.
Talking about who is responsible for climate change is a fraught debate – even more so when it comes to who ought to pay for the damage it causes.

Wilder winds are altering currents. The sea is releasing carbon dioxide. Ice is melting from below.
The ice shelf was cracking up. Surveys showed warm ocean water eroding its underbelly. Satellite imagery revealed long, parallel fissures in the frozen expanse, like scratches from some clawed monster. One fracture grew so big, so fast, scientists took to calling it “the dagger.”
