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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
In following up on my last post about how insurance companies are retreating from providing coverage for the coal industry, here is information published by Sierra Club reaffirming that the retirement of coal plants is continuing unabated by anything that is happening in Washington right now. The information presented below speaks for itself but here are some of the highlights. …
In case you or someone you know still has any doubts about the fact of human caused climate change or of its devastating consequences and effects this article should make you think twice a hundred times. Events are unfolding along the lines that have been predicted for a few decades now. Have you seen any of the articles about how…
