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…

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…
Investment firms that manage TRILLIONS of dollars are well aware of how climate change challenges the financial risk of their investments. Even if our federal government says they are pro business, their actions to address climate change in any way and alleviate the enormous economic cost to business as the climate warms up, is contrary to this reality. They are totally…
With a warming planet raising sea levels at unprecedented levels, costal communities are already trying to cope with their property being inundated with water. “It’s not clear where relocated communities should go to remain safe, said Steven Bingler, president of Concordia, an urban planning group.
