It's a Climate Emergency & we're working for

A just & sustainable planet for all living creatures

“I’m terrified of the hotter future we’re heading toward; I’m even more terrified of heading there in the dark, without NASA Earth-observing satellites, without NCAR, without an ocean heat observing system, without grants supporting scientists, without weather forecasters. And I’ve never seen the fossil fuel industry so emboldened. Their deadly profits. Their ads and outrageous disinformation. Trump’s idiotic war in Iran, and his idiotic war on solar panels.” 

Peter Kalmus, climate scientist, from his Substack, June 9, 2026

Brett KenCairn explains that the man-made desolation of foundational, life-supporting ecosystems has resulted in our planet now operating at roughly half its biological productive capacity. By altering our use of the land we can help regenerate lost capacity. Brett describes how his team and other regenerative experts are attempting to do just that.
