I am continuing one more time with my messaging about the impact on the physical impact that a warmer climate will increasingly have on our society due to climate change. While skiers and the towns and businesses around the world that rely on an adequate snowfall and snowpack are well aware of the impact of a lack of snow in…
The following report that was published this morning simply confirms all that I’ve been writing about recently. The atmosphere is rapidly being altered by our combustion of fossil fuels which is releasing CO2 and causing unprecedented weather events. This revelation should focus our attention and efforts on an all out effort to initiate transition away from fossil fuel consumption to create…
Sorry that this summary is so late getting to you. There were some extenuating circumstances that caused the delay. But here it is! Usually I try to summarize the theme of the meeting and reflect on how it all went. But I am thinking of something different this time. So, I’ll be very brief about this past in person Board…
This is very scary stuff. And I think this article says it all. Usually, I only highlight the salient items of articles I send out so that you can find the most important info quickly and easily if you don’t want to take the time to read the entire piece. This time I find myself highlighting almost the entire article!…
The warming atmosphere is creating more and more weather turmoil and disasters. For those who decry what climate mitigation will cost they should consider the cost of NOT doing everything we possibly can to minimize the impact some of which is already baked into our future. Of course it’s not just the direct cost of cleaning up after a disaster. There…
Continuing on the climate and weather are both changing theme, I hope you are not sticking your head in the sand and thinking that “I’m not being affected.” We are ALL paying the cost of our fossil fuel addition ways. Right here in Chicagoland, the flooding is getting worse and worse and more and more frequent. The property damage is but…
Here’s more evidence of a warming climate and the affect it is having on our ecosystem the conclusion of which reflects the theme of most of my messages to you: “It is essential that we take action now to reduce emissions and move toward a low-carbon economy and climate-resilient world. It is our shared responsibility to safeguard the Arctic and…
Continuing on the theme of showing the evidence and impact of a warming planet, here’s more on how the melting of the glaciers in Greenland is speeding up. This, of course, will raise sea levels. The impact of that will be enormous especially for all the human (and plant and animal life as well) life and infrastructure along coastlines. Not…
I am continuing on with a series of messages about how the climate is warming and what the impact is on the ground. The next several articles are designed to provide a broad overview of the many ways a warming planet is changing and the science behind this phenomenon. One particular trend to note is that all the changes are happening…
I am going to be sending you a few posts to insure that you don’t get complacent about the climate. It is changing dramatically and fast and costing hundreds of billions of $$$$$$$ not to mention the human suffering. Usually I highlight the most salient parts but it will take you only about a minute to read the whole thing.…
