No matter what we do now, we’ve already baked in increasingly severe consequences from a warming climate. That said, if we do nothing and stay on the trajectory upon which we are currently headed, the future of our civilization is in extreme jeopardy. As it stands right now, we will unquestionably have to adopt to some changes but by being proactive…
Back in the 80’s when it was obvious to me that the science of global warming was clear and convincing I began trying to get others to believe it was happening as well. That has been a long, gradual and uphill process. Nevertheless, in the last two years or so it seems like a critical mass has been achieved here in…
Reading the following article from Rolling Stone Magazine, I don’t know where to begin. If you’ve ever read one of their feature articles you know how long they are. So, I am reluctant to use them in my postings. Yet, this one is so compelling. It is about the impact of extreme heat that is coming as a result of climate change.…
The last post I sent you emphasized how dramatically the earth is heating up and consistently smashing heat records worldwide by huge margins at a vastly higher pace than anytime in the past. This is one of the results. “What was once exceptional is becoming more frequent today.” “The melting has reached parts of Greenland that typically stay frozen all year…
I ran into a friend at a party a short while ago who I hadn’t seen in quite a while. He gets this newsletter and remarked to me that he appreciated getting the info and my passion for the subject matter. And then he asked me if we were really in any big trouble. Of course I answered with a…
On June 15th I sent you this article: Can Concrete Really Save the Planet? As a follow up to this is the following article which describes the pressure that investors are placing on cement companies to reduce and ultimately eliminate their CO2 emissions. “Members of the Institutional Investors Group on Climate change and the Climate Action 100+, a coalition…
The last article I sent focused on dangerous heat events occurring all over the world but especially devastatingly in SE Asia. This article delves into developing knowledge and research into the complications of how the changing climate is not linear but rather causing multiple factors of climate change to interact making climate disaster events exponentially worse. Scientists are learning more and…
Normally I wouldn’t send you another piece of news so soon after my last post but this article was simply too compelling and extreme for me to wait. All I can say is read the whole thing. It is horrifying. And it’s coming to your city or town eventually. Especially if you are in Phoenix, LA, Las Vegas, Atlanta or…
I’ve been telling you for years and years that our warming planet was headed for consequences much greater than was being predicted by main stream scientists and reported by the main stream media. I warned that consequences would happen faster and with more impact than most people were willing to say to the public. But as I’ve delineated in the last…
“India last week was in the grip of its worst heat wave… The capital, Delhi, reached a daily record of 118 degrees Fahrenheit, or 48 degrees Celsius, on June 10.” “San Francisco peaked at 100 degrees Fahrenheit on June 12, also a daily record” “Even Helsinki, Finland, way up north on the Baltic Sea, practically turned into an outdoor sauna when…
