The title says, Forget Glasgow. I don’t really mean that. Glasgow is important. And I know that some, or even many, will think I’m off my rocker for saying this, but it’s not the most critical factor on how quickly and how far we implement changes to our society that will mitigate climate change to allow our civilization to function with some semblance of…
Every week there is so much news that is published about so many of the topics relating to climate change upon which I attempt to keep you abreast. This week is no different. The primary one upon which I will dwell today is very revealing as to why it is so important to keep warming below 1.5 degrees celsius and how the…
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. I’ll start with the good news that should give us some level of optimism that we have the ability to do something effective to alter our society in order to…
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. First, though, I want to share a rather upbeat article so that I contest my reputation for being Mr. Doom and Gloom. The message is from one of the authors of the…
It is hard to comprehend that we are around half way through summer. It sure doesn’t seem like it to me. It’s going by so quickly and for some reason I feel like I’m missing out. Maybe because of the weather? Too hot, too dry, too wet, too cool, too windy (meaning being unsuitable to kayak on Lake Michigan). But…
I know that I am constantly pointing out how right I have been for years and years when it comes to predicting what would (and has) happened concerning the subjects which I cover. AND, that it would be worse than the conventional media was reporting. My kids tell me that I overdo that aspect of my messages. OK, I get it. But…
There’s been several articles this week that describe how we are inexorably headed for a carbon free, mostly, electric future in transportation. There have been, and still are, skeptics that don’t believe that we will get to the point by 2030, or 2035 at the latest, when every mass produced car in the US will be fully electric much less light duty…
