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…
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…
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…
I’ve been writing quite a bit about the economic consequences of climate change. Less and less we’re hearing the outcry that doing anything about climate change will have negative, if not devastating impact, on the economy. Besides the fact that there is not ONE study that shows this to be true, actually the opposite, what is overlooked by those that…
Two themes that I have written about a great deal come together in this article. One is that risk of climate change is increasingly becoming factored into financial markets and financial decisions. I’ve cautioned about being invested in fossil fuel industry assets especially those companies that have trillions of dollars of fossil fuels on their balance sheets that could end…
This post reverts back to the one I sent recently about peak oil growth. In that post I highlighted this point: “Investors are increasingly sitting up and taking notice”. The following article, maybe not unintentionally published on 9/11, a day that changed the world, is about the financial consequences of the shift away from oil (and other fossil fuels). As the article title indicates, energy companies…
As the flood waters recede in the Carolinas, the cleanup begins. And billions of our tax payer money will be used to help the victims of Hurricane Florence recover. My guess is that most of us want to help our fellow citizens in their time of great need get back on their feet and using our tax dollars is a…
Two reoccurring themes in my posts are that mainstream thinking is wrong and that changes are going to happen much, much faster than the experts project. One of those changes is how fast the transition from a fossil fuel economy to one that is powered by renewable energy will happen. Usually when I make some bold statement about how fast things will…
