    GROTON, Conn. -

    We don’t need to ask experts to know that our planet is slipping into a deep crisis. We see daily news of people dying from increasing natural disasters all over the world - floods, hurricanes, storms, droughts, heat waves, and earthquakes. We feel the weather in each approaching season getting extreme - hotter, colder, dryer, or wetter. We hear reports of an alarming rate of animal, insect, and plant species on the brink of extinction. And we fear the spread of deadly (…)

    I have watched for years the "development" of articles about so called chemical trails. I have an advanced degree in the sciences and I am here to tell you there is no such thing as a chemtrail spraying program.
    I know science and work in the media presenting weather to the general public at FOX TV. Contrails can last for hours and hours and this is what you are seeing. You can think of the atmosphere as a column of air. Planes fly at differenct levels and moisture flows in these (…)

    Drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is again on the table in Congress, this time in the budget bill. How many times must Americans say it? Leave our wilderness alone!
    Human beings need wilderness and open space. Some years ago, a friend teaching at a rural Michigan campus invited high schoolers from Detroit to study ecology. At first, the students were frightened and hesitant but the woods slowly drew them out. They found things, camped out, (…)

    I have been an environmental advocate for twenty years, and I’ve been disciplined during that period about being nonpartisan in my approach to this issue. The worst thing that can happen to the environment is if it becomes the province of a single political party. Most of the environmental leaders in our country agree with me. Five years ago, if you asked the leaders of the major environmental groups in America, What’s the gravest threat to the global environment?, they would have given you (…)
