Existing global environmental governance institutions – even those designed to address climate change – are ill-equipped for such challenges. The missing knowledge is not primarily natural science. Or low-carbon energy from renewable energy systems rather than nuclear power, with its needs for cooling water.

The first climate change presentation I saw was back in the 1970s when I was working for the National Weather Service. Murray Mitchell, was the top climate scientist for NWS. While that got the bulk of the publicity, Dr. Mitchell assured us that the warming of the climate would be the biggest problem in the future.

While attending Drexel, I’ve had many environmental science fieldwork experiences, like catching treefrogs in the Pine Barrens or doing electrofishing surveys. In the past, I have had co-ops at the Live Animal Center of the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Philadelphia Zoo.

But as our climate changes toward unpredictability and green spaces decrease as human-made infrastructure increases, our precious water resources become more important — and more burdened — than ever. Gardeners also come in all shapes and sizes. Mary Alice Hartsock/ANS. Sprinkle some mulch.

Much of this water cools as it flows towards the poles, becoming denser and sinking to the ocean floor. They are easy to envision: the sun warms the sea’s surface at the equator, and the expanding water is driven away from it in the form of northerly and southerly surface currents.
