They are concerned about the state of our planet, and eager to ease their anxieties by discussing solutions. I embrace these conversations, if not for the selfish desire of easing my own existential angst, but since taking the Climate Change Palma Seminar, which began with a crash course in climate science, I have come to realize that the cold hard facts of climate change are not always clearly grasped.

Craig Engels is a rock star. Not the kind that plays the electric guitar and has records go platinum, but the athletic variety. When he arrives at a track meet, crowds gather, often wearing t-shirts bearing his visage or, occasionally, sporting a fake mullet, one of Engels’ characteristic hair looks.
