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 know. I said that the last post would be the last about how the warming climate is impacting our society. But I just couldn’t help myself with this article since it dovetails perfectly with my previous message. “That river is drying up. This winter, snow in the Rocky Mountains, which feeds the Colorado, was 70% lower than average.” “the…
I am continuing one more time with my messaging about the impact on the physical impact that a warmer climate will increasingly have on our society due to climate change. While skiers and the towns and businesses around the world that rely on an adequate snowfall and snowpack are well aware of the impact of a lack of snow in…
The following report that was published this morning simply confirms all that I’ve been writing about recently. The atmosphere is rapidly being altered by our combustion of fossil fuels which is releasing CO2 and causing unprecedented weather events. This revelation should focus our attention and efforts on an all out effort to initiate transition away from fossil fuel consumption to create…
The warming atmosphere is creating more and more weather turmoil and disasters. For those who decry what climate mitigation will cost they should consider the cost of NOT doing everything we possibly can to minimize the impact some of which is already baked into our future. Of course it’s not just the direct cost of cleaning up after a disaster. There…
Continuing on the climate and weather are both changing theme, I hope you are not sticking your head in the sand and thinking that “I’m not being affected.” We are ALL paying the cost of our fossil fuel addition ways. Right here in Chicagoland, the flooding is getting worse and worse and more and more frequent. The property damage is but…
Here’s more evidence of a warming climate and the affect it is having on our ecosystem the conclusion of which reflects the theme of most of my messages to you: “It is essential that we take action now to reduce emissions and move toward a low-carbon economy and climate-resilient world. It is our shared responsibility to safeguard the Arctic and…
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.…
Following is an informative article about the status of lithium production and how its supply is critical to the growth of the EV market. Here are the critical passages… “In the last two years, lithium production has not been enough to meet demand. As a result, lithium stockpiles have diminished,” said James Frith, an energy storage analyst at Bloomberg…
My articles have continuously reported to you the dramatic development of electric vehicles and predicted that their adaptation will be much more rapid than is being predicted by the mainstream media and prognosticators. I’ll repeat my belief: By 2030 all mass marketed light duty vehicles in the US will be either fully electric or drive 80% of the time on electricity. It…
