The author discusses the role of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), focusing on its educational impact, response to climate change, and reflections on his experience with the organization upon retirement.

The article presents the author's view regarding U.S. government policies for soil conservation and restoration from 1935 to 2013, with a focus on the environmental aspects of soil management. Topics include the effect of agricultural runoff on water pollution, work by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to promote conservation requirements for farms, and the effects cover crops and climate change on soil erosion.

The article discusses the warnings from U.S. President Barack Obama and other politicians including a group of Republican former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrators regarding climate change and its effect on the world and humanity as of October 2013. Topics include the influence of carbon-polluting industries on the U.S. Congress and lawmakers and the negative environmental bills passed by the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives.

The author discusses the threat of global climate change and its effect on the environment as of December 2012. Topics include widespread drought and forest fires due to record high temperatures, the support of burning fossil fuels which cause carbon pollution by Chief Executive Officer Rex Tillerson of the gas company ExxonMobil, and the involvement of government officials in passing legislation to protect the environment.

The article discusses how habitat changes in the U.S. as a result of climate change and the feral hog population are affecting native wild plants such as wildflowers. Topics include the author's activism to extend protection of Pennsylvania's threatened and endangered plants, feral swine's damage to plants and wildlife habitats, and the National Wildlife Federation's (NWF) efforts to protect the U.S. from environmental threats of invasive species.

The article discusses the environmental impact of the failure of the U.S. Senate to pass climate change legislation. Topics include an overview of how China and members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will benefit from the U.S. Senate's inability to pass comprehensive energy reform and the need for clean energy sources.

In this article the author discusses some of the issues that the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) will support at the United Nations Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009. Those countries, known as the G-20, that emit the largest amount of carbon dioxide pollution will be asked to establish an aggressive timetable for reducing such emissions. The NWF also wants developing nations to use clean-energy methods for development and to avoid the mistakes made in the last century. The NWF will also demand that a deal be made to protect remaining uncut forests and to provide financial incentives to prevent future deforestation.

In this article the author discusses the difficult situation that U.S. President Barack Obama faces as he begins his first term. Not only must he deal with an economic recession and huge national debt, but he must take steps to begin resolution of the climatic changes that are going to occur in the future. Climate scientist James Hansen believes that global warming is dramatically ahead of schedule and that there is a limited time frame in which remedial measures can be taken to reduce greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emissions.

The editorial offers the author's thoughts on the continued usage of oil and coal energy by the U.S. The environmental, economic, and national security aspects of oil and coal energy are discussed, noting that solar and wind energy are available to anyone willing to invest enough money to make use of them.

The article presents a discussion on global warming. Global warming is no longer just a matter of scientific intrigue. Today, it is much more than a distant concern. It is a reality that must be addressed with a sense of urgency. Its consequences are already being felt by millions around the world. It is an accepted scientific understanding that the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum coupled with the destruction of forests has lead to the ensuing 36 percent increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide buildup is triggering a profound change in the global climate system.
