A World without ice

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

Its the Population, Stupid

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

Ecological collapse could happen much sooner than expected

(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

COP27 – will it make a difference?

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

Don’t say I didn’t tell you

Quote from UN: There is “no credible pathway to 1.5C in place”, the UN’s environment agency has said, and the failure to reduce carbon emissions means the only way to limit the worst impacts of the climate crisis is a “rapid transformation of societies”. I have been blogging now for around 2 yrs and here … Read more
