I am going to write about some topics other than climate change and other directly related issues for a while and spotlight different environmental issues of grave concern. You can read in the mainstream media about the temperature in Siberia above the Arctic Circle being over 100 degrees and at the bottom of the Grand Canyon over 115 degrees and melting peoples’ boots. Today I…
Let’s stay on the topic of the demise of fossil fuels to boil water to create steam to run the turbines that create electricity for the power grid. In a recent article I sent you I said “it’s clear that fossil fuels are toast.” And the hits keep rolling. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to figure this…
I have been writing for a long time about following the money as it relates to climate change. More recently I’ve been revealing how more and more finance entities have been committing to begin redirecting their capital away from fossil fuel projects and into renewable energy assets. This started with a trickle and becoming a torrent. When this started it was tentative and…
Science matters. While there aren’t many climate change skeptics any more, unless you belong to the Republican Party, it is worthwhile to see graphically what is happening to our planet’s atmosphere so we can be confident of the rationale for demanding aggressive action to avoid the worst consequences that a quickly warming climate will cause. So short and to the point today. A quick…
As I have been writing about for years and in many of my most recent articles, follow the money. Fossil fuels are being abandon like a hot potato. As predicted, costs of renewables have dropped more than dramatically. In 10 years solar has gone from $300 a megawatt hour to $38 in China today. And wind in the last 10 years…
In case you haven’t been paying attention, it’s becoming more and more clear that the horse is out of the barn: we’ve passed a tipping point. When you can read this in Forbes, things have changed. “After all the suffering of the pandemic, let’s make investments that will preserve life as we know in this planet and strengthen our…
On February 9th I sent you an article about a Supreme Court case that would have tangible consequences for the quality of the water that we drink, play in and use for all the other things for which we depend on clean water. Clean Water Crisis Well, the decision came down and from what I gather the Court revised…
I am staying on the finances of climate change. The last post related to the IMF (International Monetary Fund) warning that: “nations must do all they can to promote a recovery that also fights against the climate-change crisis” IMF Gets On Board More and more pressure is coming to bear on investors to take into consideration the risk of directing capital…
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…
