I like this article because of its frankness.  That said, I think we passed the tipping point 5yrs ago and it is emission based, not some single event as theorized below.  Either way, we are in serious trouble and will suffer consequences that we can only make worse by in-action.  Although as individuals, every drop … Read more

Comments below are from David Schimel who won the Nobel Prize with Al Gore in 2007.  His comments are in complete agreement with a lot of my blogs over the last few years, so I am privileged to be in such good company.  That said, we have a long way to go in getting focused … Read more

H Recent YouTube video on what the World would look like with all the ice melted: Although this will not happen for quite a while, if we don’t get emissions under control, it will and it is happening much faster than the scientific models predicted.  Equally as important, once we finally realize this is going … Read more

Somewhere in my past blogs and referenced on my home page, I have noted that our ability to manage population’s needs for food, water, shelter and energy are rapidly depleting the Earth’s resources.  That is to say that it is not just Climate Change where we face an existential threat.  If one uses the concept … Read more

(The article below was posted today and discusses ecological collapse happening much sooner that originally expected.  At the end of the day, humanity’s hubris and arrogance will be our undoing as we view ourselves superior and different than so many of the other species we share the planet with.  In so many cases, a species … Read more

As … Read more

The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere increased to record highs in its annual Spring peak, jumping at one of the fastest rates on record, officials announced Monday. Carbon dioxide levels in the air are now the highest they’ve been in more than 4 million years … Read more

It has been about 5 months since my last post and I thought it was time to check in.  The US just passed a resolution to raise the debt limit, so this problem is now past us for the moment.  Inflation is cooling but high interest rates are keeping the investment community in limbo as … Read more

Been a while since I last put up a post and this one will be short.  As noted on the home page, we humans are pretty good at focusing on issues that are right in front of us, such as, wars (Ukraine/Russia), pandemics (Covid), economics (Inflation), etc..  However, not too much focus on Climate Change … Read more

Lots of finger pointing, damage claims and low on commitments.  I guess there is quite a bit of frank discussion on just what the future looks like and a growing acceptance that 1.5 deg C cap is just not going to happen, so now they are saying 2.0 but reality is probably closer to 2.8. … Read more
