Short but sweet today. Following up on my last two messages to you to reveal the widening acceptance and understanding that we should learn and take advantage of our current circumstances regarding the COVID – 19 pandemic as relates to climate chaos. The two concepts to which I am referring are: 1. There is a connection from this pandemic to…
The last couple of messages weren’t particularly encouraging. This one brings a better message: The message is getting through. The message is that climate change is REAL, something to be concerned about and will have a personal impact. “Nearly three-quarters of respondents also said they were worried about the current global climate, with 34 percent saying they…
The following Newsweek opinion piece’s principal message is that the current COVID-19 pandemic should teach us the lesson about the cost of failing to recognize foreseeable disasters and take actions to mitigate them.

Before I start my overview of the attached article I want to address the feedback I received from many of you about my format. Thanks to all of you who responded.

Several of my recent posts have been focused mostly on renewable energy. Today, I am going back to what we can expect from a warming climate and the implications thereof. As readers you know that I have been preaching about how projections of the horrid outcomes of warming the atmosphere of our planet will be much worse and come faster than the “experts”…
First of all, click on the video below and enjoy some Bee Gees music while you read this. You’ll get the connection. As I wrote about in my last post, renewable energy is blowing away fossil fuels. It’s not only a prediction any more. It’s reality. “Renewable energy beat coal for generating electricity for the first quarter of…
I am thinking of all of you that receive and read my posts. I am confident that, while it make take much longer than any of us would like, we will emerge from the pandemic in time. I certainly hope and pray that we and all of our loved ones and friends are healthy and sound now and at that time. I imagine…
