Most climate debates have focused on cutting the use of fossil fuels. But besides a few high-profile scuffles over fuel extraction in vulnerable wild places like the offshore Arctic, political leaders have ignored fossil fuel production as a necessary piece of climate strategy.
We procured from an Indian a weasel perfectly white except the extremity of the tail which was black: great numbers of wild geese are passing to the south, but their flight is too high for us to procure any of them.
Strapping Young Lad is a vehicle for me to be wild and extroverted and ridiculous. It gives me the chance to say, 'Look at me. I'm a heavy metal guy. I'm Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson or whoever.'
Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
'Fargo,' man, with so many actors playing so many great characters, and then they do another season, and it changes all over again? It's wild.
There the wild animals wandered and fed as though they were in a pasture that stretched much farther than a man could see, and there were no settlers. Only Indians lived there.
The reason that I keep writing is that all my most powerful messages about the fates of wild places that I care about need to have words as well as images.

The wild open-market theory that died in 1929 had a run of just over thirty years. Communism, a complete melding of religious, economic, and global theories, stretched to seventy years in Russia and forty-five years in central Europe, thanks precisely to the intensive use of military and police force.
I have always brought home stray animals - everything from squirrels to wild rabbits to foxes and turtles.
Bahia is the Amazon's geographical next-of-kin: the same climate, forest canopy, diverse floor. But there is no wild cacao; the tree was introduced, most likely by a Frenchman, Louis Frederick Warneaux, who, in 1746, sowed seeds near one of Bahia's large rivers.
I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogs.
We were at the dark end of the L.A. punk scene, and that scene was full-on and violent and aggressive and wild and intense.
The rush of a herd of bellowing yaks at a wild gallop, waving their huge tails, is a grand sight.
Wild geese have so much less fat than their domestic brethren that, as far as the kitchen is concerned, the two birds should be considered different species altogether - so much so that they require opposite roasting methods.
I used to tell strange, wild, improbable tales akin to ghost stories, and discovered a taste for spinning yarns.
The banks are not lending, at least from what I see. They were so wild and reckless back in the good times that they got burned terribly.
Maine is the largest producer of wild blueberries in the world. The woody plants occur naturally in the sandy gravel understory of Maine's coastal forests, where little else bothers even trying to grow.
But even if I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.
