The data from scientists just gets scarier and scarier. Despite the fact that you may look out your window and not see much change in your immediate landscape, massive changes are happening around the globe that are already having a significant impact on our planet and many other people around the globe are already feeling the pain. The recent…
In my last two posts (https://franklytalking.com/6049-2/ & https://franklytalking.com/climate-change-costs-allstate-3-billion-in-9-days/) one was about record breaking heat in Australia and the other referenced “Our own Pentagon has sited climate change as the biggest threat to the planet and peace”. In the last couple of days, two additional articles have been published which relate to these two posts and reiterate the point. First is a new…
In my last post (https://franklytalking.com/co2-emissions-hiccup/) I wrote, “Our own Pentagon has sited climate change as the biggest threat to the planet and peace.” I have mentioned this before over the years. Today, another article came out that reiterates this fact. While this piece does not mention the Pentagon reports that have been published, it does discuss the Pentagon’s fears of the risk…
One of the first consequences of a warming climate that I said would occur is now happening and being confirmed by data. Scientists predicted that the snow pack in the Rocky Mountains would shrink as a result of shorter and warmer winters. The principal problem that was foreseen was less water flowing into the rivers which flow into the Great Plains that provide irrigation for…
The following headlines and articles are becoming more and more frequent as the consequences of a warming climate are becoming increasingly evident and consequential. It’s one thing to say, “get used to these headlines”. It’s an altogether different thing to get used to what is and going to happen. The frequency of the headlines is only a small sampling of…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything and this one is out of my normal lane. As you know, mostly I write about environmental news that is not reported in the mainstream media that is important to knowing and understanding about how we citizens are being effected by events. I try to alert you early on to trends that…
Recently, I’ve been writing quite a bit about the financial risk climate change presents to the capital markets and insurance companies. And the last post was about the consequences to people who live in the path of hurricanes that cause catastrophic rain and storm surge and other weather events that create climate refugees. Now, I want to turn to the…
The urgency of fighting to limit the affects of climate change is becoming quite clear in the consequences that are already occurring. In the last post I described the impact to real estate that is near the ocean coastlines. Continuing on the same theme this article describes just some of the consequences from forest fires that are becoming more frequent…
One of the reasons that I write this blog is to provide information on the consequences of climate change early on that you may miss in the main stream media. I try to keep it relevant to people so you can use it to make smart decisions under changing circumstances. This post is another pertaining to protecting the value of…
As I have written about on many occasions, the world is increasingly moving on from fossil fuels to renewable and distributed energy. One of the reasons is that renewable energy now is cost competitive or cheaper that fossil fuels. This is especially true if the fossil fuel energy is from a new plant. Secondly, more and more it is being…
