The Arctic is warming at three times the rate of the rest of the planet. This will release evermore methane gas and accelerate sea-level rise.
According to the World Meteorological Organization, the average global temperature during 2023-27 will likely be the hottest recorded five-year period, ever. Health, famine, water management, the environment, growing mass migrations, and political instability will intensify as a result.

On a related note, many of you have viewed some of my environmental photos via the many links I have sent from my online gallery. If you would like to see more of these, and some non-environmental photos as well, click here to see more photos of our threatened environment.

I'm a retired medical sociologist from the University of Rochester. Climate change is one of the two great challenges facing humanity (the other is nuclear weapons). In writing about the impact of climate change I read reputable books and articles on the topic. So when I make statements about climate change you will see a link taking you to the scientific source(s) of the information I provide.
As for my independently published photobooks, each has gone through several layers of editing and peer review for both readability and accuracy.
This is not to say that everything I say is accurate. Even the New York Times makes mistakes. So, if you find something that is factually incorrect, let me know.
I hope you find reading my blog a positive experience. If you do, please encourage your family and friends to have a look.
You can find photos from my other photo work by clicking on the My SmugMug Gallery tab, above.
Best wishes,
-Steve
