Based on surface temperature analysis from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the composition "Planetary Bands, Warming World" uses music to create a visceral encounter with more than a century’s worth of weather data collected across the...
The first observations of atmospheric carbon dioxide at over 400 ppm occurred in 2012. For the last three years measurements have topped 400 ppm for a few days a year. In 2015 global CO2 concentrations averaged above 400 ppm for an entire month. ...
This four-minute video explains how we form our environmental identity. Our environmental identity helps us understand how we interact with the world and whether or not we are motivated to conserve it.
Carbon dioxide emissions fell globally in 2014 while the economy grew by 3%. The first time that CO2 emissions have fallen and the economy has grown concurrently. Photo Credit: Ian Britton /flickr

Extreme weather events are teachable moments on climate change - they're widely reported on by the news, and are tangible impacts. However, it's a complex subject. In this document, ClimateNexus puts forth some simple guidelines for communicating...
The visitor asks the interpreter what she can do to help the situation and the interpreter uses the value of interconnectedness to provide some ideas for community scale solutions.
The visitor wants to learn more about what's impacting harbor seals in Alaska. The interpreter shares a causal chain and the heat-trapping blanket analogy to frame the conversation.
Here the interpreter uses the value of interconnectedness and the analogy of the ocean as the heart of the climate to frame the issue of harbor seal population changes in Alaska.
This is what an entire framed conversation might look like from beginning to end. The interpreter uses the value of protection, a causal chain, and an analogy to frame the issue of changes to harbor seal populations in Alaska. She finishes by offering...
