In my last post the other day I wrote about how a new method of producing concrete has the potential of removing massive amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere if adopted as the only way of cement production on a world wide scale. It is becoming increasingly certain that to keep the climate from destroying our way of life we not only need…
Last June after the Trump Administration announced that is was going to roll back the Obama era fuel economy standards I told you not to worry about that. Here’s the link to that posting. Don’t Fret CAFE Rollbacks 10 months later the message is still the same and what I said then is being reiterated again now… “”It’s a global…
I know. I know. I keep sending you articles about extreme weather and its consequences. It’s because it’s my perception that most people, especially those in the US, haven’t yet come to grips with how bad the circumstances are that we are already experiencing around the planet due to the increased heat in the atmosphere . And, therefore, how much worse it is…
If you are still thinking that extreme weather from a warming planet is still years away and that we have time to react, you’d better start paying attention to what is already happening all over the globe. It’s time to listen carefully to the scientists and start making dramatic changes NOW before things get really out of hand or we move past…
In the last article I sent out it mentions the world’s ‘Third Pole”. That region is the Hindu Kush Himalayan mountains. And a warmer climate is melting it as well. “Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, which spans eight countries in South Asia from Afghanistan to Myanmar, could lose more than a third of their volume by the end…
There is so much quotable news in the article below I don’t know where to start. Basically, this piece consolidates many of the warnings I’ve been writing about forever. The main points: A warming planet will melt glaciers and ice sheets around the world. This will lead to sea level rise that will put costal communities in grave danger in a multitude of ways. Changing…
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…
There are untold numbers of articles reiterating the fact that regardless of what the Trump Administration does about reducing the current CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards it would be insane for the auto manufacturers NOT to continue pushing forward on maximum fuel economy for their ICE’s (Internal Combustion Engines) and rollout of electric vehicles. The article below is one…
Since I’ve been writing about how horrible the impact of Global Climate Change is likely to be, I thought I’d pass on a more optimistic view. Besides, some of you have been responding to me siting information showing that things aren’t as dire as I make them out to be. Let’s hope that I am over inflating our grim future. I…
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.…
