A few days ago I brought to your attention that flooding caused by storm surge is becoming more frequent and severe due to rising ocean levels caused by climate change. In that message I pointed out that regardless of where you live in the US or, whether YOU have flooding, we are all going to pay for this phenomenon. The following article details…
Over the past decade or so, I have been somewhat engaged at my alma mater, The University of Chicago, with their EPIC (Energy Policy Institute Chicago) program. I had been told of a new tool that was being developed that would be able to model future climate impacts on a very localized basis. The initial product from this endeavor is now public with…
There’s not much I can say that will add to the following article. I am posting it here in its entirety since I know that most of you don’t actually click through to read the underlying articles on which I base my posts.

First of all, a happy Father’s Day to you all. I am so incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful family all of which live close.

It was once described to me how CO2 warms our planet. Emitting CO2 into the atmosphere is like putting a blanket around the earth. The more…
As you can see from the photo above, I marched in the Peoples Climate March yesterday in Chicago with 5000 others. It was wet and cold but who cares when the fate of science and our planet are at stake. I know that most of those that read my blog agree with me that Climate Change is real…
The following article from yesterday’s Huffington Post boggles the mind. All I can say is, watch what Trump does not what he says. It is incomprehensible, given all that we know about how he is attempting to not just slash environmental budgets but to actually eliminate the programs that are protecting our air, water, wild lands and wildlife, to fathom his Earth…
