Charlie Bresler, Executive Director Your suggested pledge is Peter Singer suggests that if, like you, everyone was to pledge the recommended amount for their income, we could eliminate, or at least dramatically reduce, global poverty. We wanted to find out which forms of outreach have the most impact for the lowest costs? So we did some research.Over the last year, The Life You Can Save and Giving What We Can (GWWC) have collaborated on a study to help shed light on this question

Naomi Klein: How science is telling us all to revolt
The godfather of modern climate science, James Hansen, is a formidable activist, having been arrested some half-dozen times for resisting mountain-top removal coal mining and tar sands pipelines (he even left his job at Nasa this year in part to have more time for campaigning). Which is fine, except that we happen to have an economic system that fetishises GDP growth above all else, regardless of the human or ecological consequences, and in which the neoliberal political class has utterly abdicated its responsibility to manage anything (since the market is the invisible genius to which everything must be entrusted)
He was aggressive, wasted, and sitting too close, but she smiled curtly at his ramblings and laughed softly at his jokes as she patiently downed her drink. When I paused outside a convenience store to stretch, a man sitting at a bus stop across the street from me began yelling obscene comments about my body
In addition, according to the comment by the editor of Science, "The findings support the view that the Holocene Thermal Maximum, the Medieval Warm Period, and the Little Ice Age were global events, and they provide a long-term perspective for evaluating the role of ocean heat content in various warming scenarios for the future."You forgot to mention that the pacific ocean has been much warmer over most of the last 10,000 years. Maybe your experience is different and you never got more than 3 feet offshore and faced inland all the time.Perhaps, instead of shooting from the hip with utterly invalid comparisons, you'd actually look up something to really understand what the hell you're talking about for a change
Living on Earth: PRI's Environmental News Magazine
Now new research is helping us to understand why, and how this information can be used to fight the disease-laden vectors as climate change extends their range. Ensuing civil and criminal lawsuits have kept BP in court for years, but an agreement might soon bring relief for those government agencies seeking fines and compensation
And what about all the new niche dating sites? Are you convinced that all the nicest guys are vegan? Do you want to find someone who loves Dickens or Didion? Must you fall for a Democrat, Ivy Leaguer or Apple aficionado? There's an app for that.Bottom line is that there are some good ones online, and they'll be a whole lot easier to spot on a brightly lit computer screen than in the dim recesses of your neighborhood pub.But I Won't Have A Good 'How We Met' StoryPeople love telling their "How We Met" stories. You think it'll be a bunch of lies? Could be, but don't you think the guy on the next bar stool can lie just as easily?Everyone Online LiesNowhere more than in the world of online dating does perception trump reality in the realm of love
There May Be an Ancient Earth Inside Earth, Say Harvard Scientists
Without a model of the solar system would Einstein have been as easily able to deduce relativity? This sort of science yields immense profits for humanity. It makes more sense that Moses and the people of the time could not comprehend the exact nature of creation, so through Moses, God explained it simply and metaphorically
For the purposes of our coming coverage, we will assume that the scientific consensus about man-made climate change and its likely effects is overwhelming. And we hope that many readers will find inspiration in our series to make their own contribution by applying pressure on their workplace, or pension fund, to move
Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science? - National Geographic Magazine
The (boring) truth is that it usually advances incrementally, through the steady accretion of data and insights gathered by many people over many years. We went around killing each other to get on a throne, praying to a rain god, and for better and much worse, doing things pretty much as our ancestors did
Why Care About Water?
And just less than one percent of the planet's water is available to meet the daily drinking water, sanitation and food needs of nearly 7 billion people and millions of other species. more X Why Care About Water? Fresh Water Sustainability Water Pollution There is the same amount of water on Earth today as there was when the dinosaurs roamed
There should be a regulatory framework that treats carbon dioxide emissions as pollution, setting upper limits on how much pollution companies and nations can release. The most efficient solutions to the problem of malaria turn out to be simple: eliminating standing water, draining swamps, providing mosquito nets, and, most of all, increasing prosperity
