It’s simple math: we can burn 565 more gigatons of carbon and stay below 2°C of warming — anything more than that risks catastrophe for life on earth. The only problem? Fossil fuel corporations now have 2,795 gigatons in their reserves, five times the safe amount. And they’re planning to burn it all — unless we rise up to stop them.
PSR Wisconsin joins Clean Wisconsin, 350 Madison, Citizens Climate Lobby and others in calling on the UW to divest from fossil fuel companies.

There's a boom taking place in natural gas drilling, thanks to advances in the technology known as hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." But concerns about fracking's health effects are bubbling up almost as fast as the gas coming out of the ground. What do the experts say about air pollution, water contamination, methane leaks, diesel fumes, noise, and other fracking byproducts? To find out, read this month's Policy Institute as it answers the question: What does fracking mean for human health?
The nuclear weapons danger is real and growing: nuclear terrorism, proliferation, and thousands of weapons still on hair-trigger alert in the United States and Russia. Fortunately, there also are new opportunities to eliminate this threat.
More on Nuclear Weapons »Toxics and global warming create pervasive threats to health. PSR responds via chemical policy reform, climate policy advocacy, practitioner education, and “Code Black,” a campaign to reduce pollution and global warming.
More on Environment & Health »Wisconsin can build an energy future that gives us affordable power, creates jobs and improves our environment. So why gamble on costly nuclear reactors that generate radioactive waste? Wisconsin can be carbon free and nuclear free -- if we demand it!
More on Carbon-Free, Nuclear Free Wisconsin »An op-ed from PSR Wisconsin's Paula Rogge.
