Every week brings a wide array of articles that relate to and provide updated information and developments regarding many of the topics about which I report to you. Sometimes I will feature one subject in more detail while also now providing you with headlines and a brief quote from the featured article and others so you get the salient point(s)…
Those of you who have been getting and receiving my postings know that I make a lot of predictions based on data but using my premonitions and judgement to forecast what is coming often long before the “experts” will. And when what I have projected comes to pass, I love to say “I told you so!”. Sure, I have an…
Besides my showing you the science of climate change and the actual real world physical consequences of it (i.e. more and stronger hurricanes, more intense storms, melting glaciers, changes in the jet and gulf streams, tropical diseases moving north, flooding, mud slides, drought, fires, etc.) I have tried to alert you to the impact that a warmer climate is having…
Last week I presented you with a smorgasbord of environmental news. This week I’m going to display a variety of good and bad news that has been published in the last number of days.

It’s been a few weeks since you’ve heard from me as I was on vacation. My son Zack (35) and I went on a wilderness kayaking trip on the Allagash River in very northern Maine with a group from Sierra Club. We had a great time. It was so very nice to get removed from civilization for 8 days and just relax.…
Today’s post will be mostly about current news/headlines to keep you current on some of the themes upon which I report. Of course, a great deal is happening.

It’s been a few weeks since my last post as I took some time off to enjoy the summer as it quickly slips away from us all. Unfortunately, the deteriorating climate doesn’t take a vacation.
