Bill McGibben says that, because of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which, as of December 2011, is now

After clicking on a picture here, you will be taken to the slide show that is a relatively new feature of Blogger. Once inside the slide show, using the zoom feature will increase the size of each picture. Personally, I keep my screen set at 125% but find that zooming to 200% makes it possible to pick out more of the details available in these pictures.
