Branham: The planet is hurtling toward 1.5 °C (opens the original)
Read excerpt
First, here are the facts. We are going to cross the 1.5 °C global warming threshold within the next few years. Yes, the red line that every scientist and expert said we should not cross. We are about to blow right by it. Second, the climate problem is as much a consciousness crisis as it is a fossil fuel one. Despite valiant efforts, we’ve not reduced fossil fuel dependency fast enough to make a big difference. Last week, a pretty harrowing report by the United Nations Environmental Program la
Branham: A drought, hungry bears and how to help (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bears and humans know hunger in the same way. Our brains receive nervous system and hormonal cues, our stomachs feel empty, our blood sugar drops. It’s time to find food. But for bears, there is so little of it, that they are getting desperate. We would too, if we were them. Due to a record drought and weak acorn and berry crops, bears are coming straight into dorms, towns, kitchens, alleys, restaurants and even the city of Denver to find food. For bears, in late summer, their bodies go into a s
Andreas Weber heading to Aspen’s ‘Frontiers of Knowledge Symposium’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect that the symposium is co-produced by Centre for MINDS, California Institute of Integral Studies and the Mays Family Foundation. Biologist, philosopher and author of 15 books, Andreas Weber said that, lately, he is finding himself “surrendering to truth.” Weber is one of a line-up of speakers, including the musician Garth Stevenson â a double bassist who composes music with whales â coming to the Wheeler Opera House on Sunday, Aug. 23,
Branham: Writing as a potent spiritual ecological practice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wrote a book to save my own life. I had no choice but to express what I had to about trees, sickness and our entwined futures. I was at the mercy of a sacred obsession. Any person who writes has felt, or feels, the same at times. We write because we must. Because sitting in the tangle of how your own life presses up against the world and, like a deep-sea diver, descending to find pearls to bring back to the surface, is worth it.  T.S. Elliot, in a letter to a young writer seeking advice, wri
Branham: A balm for climate change is to cultivate soliphilia â a total love for land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Extreme drought has punctured our pocket of paradise. The Roaring Fork Valley is in tectonic trouble. For the first time ever, North Star Nature Preserve is closed. The water levels are at an unprecedented low. Some Aspen leaves have shriveled to a crisp. There is one tree outside my window I’ve watched steadily drain of all their green this summer. They are dying. What can we possibly do? How do we pray down the rain? Protect the trees from pounding heat domes? Resurrect a river’s roar? The ste
