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.…
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…
I’m sure you are aware that over half of US coal fired power plants have been closed since 2002 when the Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign began. (281 retired and 249 to go) And almost no new ones have been permitted for construction. This has not only reduced significant amounts of CO2 but also small particulate matter and other emissions…
Still not convinced that the climate is getting warmer and that the outcomes will be no big deal? Well, Australia is now suffering unheard of heat and the following article describes an outcome of climate change that is truly frightening. What the “alarmists” have been predicting is not occurring at some vague time in the future but RIGHT NOW and in a…
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…
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…
