Photo via USA Today Glenn Beck isn’t exactly the most respected voice in the climate change conversation (though he may strive to be the loudest). Yet all that may change after people realize that he actually hit the nail on the head with his predictions last year for what woes climate change would bring upon the world.

Photo via the Tehran Times A new study published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience suggests that the estimates for the rate of ice loss in Greenland and West Antarctica from global climate change should be significantly reduced — by as much as half. The study posits that current ice loss estimates fail to take into account a process called glacial isostatic adjustment, which involves the rebounding movement of the Earth’s crust after the last ice age. Here’s what’s happening, according… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via Research4Development A recent paper in the September issue of BioScience took on the so-called ‘Environmentalist’s Paradox’. That paradox poses a question along these lines: Why is it that human well-being has increased over the years, while the planet’s resources have been severely degraded — and how is that trajectory continuing today despite increasing damage to key ecosystem services? … Read the full story on TreeHugger
