Following up on my last posting about the fuel economy standards that the Trump Administration is attempting to reduce, I want to remind you of another theme that I have harped on for years: that technology is progressing, and going to continue to do so, much more rapidly than “conventional wisdom” perpetrated by mainstream sources would have you believe. Battery capacity, size, price…
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…
It is easy to look out the window and think that climate change is just a theory that is not happening because everything seems kinda the same where I live. And hey, what about that polar vortex last winter with -23 degree temperatures. But increasingly, more and more people are looking out the window and seeing something drastically different. And…
Continuing on the theme of changes in the weather due to a warmer planet, this article points out how climate change is affecting people in ways that are not obviously clear. Take a guess what kills more people worldwide than alcohol use, kidney failure or too much salt. Smog. I know that quite a number of you reading this…
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…
There have been a great deal of articles recently with information and developments which I want to share with you. My practice has been not to deluge you with emails from me and limit my posts to 2 or 3 a week. I’ve decided to alter that practice for the time being and write to you more often, if I can find the time.…
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…
