The new IPCC report on Climate Change. It is a little bit of a long read…
The report spends some time on probabilities, including what “business as usual” looks. BAU gets ugly, and uglier, and ugliest.
Starting early, not later, seems to make sense…!!!
New Look at Oil Reserves, Renewables and Climate Change There is a long term energy competition battle ahead between renewables and fossil fuels. Just as the prices for renewable energy sources, mainly solar and wind, have fallen markedly, our irrepressable technolgy advances have enabled us to find vast new oil reserves under our feet. Check this out to see what we have in billions of barrels: http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/12/04/us-oil-reserves-hit-38-year-high So, this likely means the prices of gasoline…
In comes another commentary saying 10 reasons why there is definitely no such thing as global warming. This one includes evidence that the mooses (moose population) are doing much better. Huh!… I simply direct people to look at the multiple databases of actual real-live data related to each and every conceivable measure of global warming. Look at the data yourself. Draw it out, and then start discarding junk that misrepresents the facts. There are between…

As we go into Love Bug season in May, seeing no lovebugs may leave us allwith mixed emotions:happiness and dismay! [There have been some lovebug sightings, but not many… Let’s see how the season goes.] This is one of our GenAI assisted articles using an approach we call Regenerative Dynamic AI. (You can redo with your favorite GenAI at…
Climate change: Sea ice, global cooling, and other nonsense: I was rather pleased in my travels last week to get a glimpse of the news that the Arctic ice caps had been expanding again. They had been shrinking, and getting smaller at an increasing rate, so statistically, we were certainly due for a recovery. I saw a 60% recovery, however, so I was a little skeptical. So I just now get a chance to check…
A Song Of Fire And No Ice: We Just Had Our Fourth Record-Breaking Hottest Month In A Row This Year | ThinkProgress: Oh poop, crap, scat!. Each month of 2016 has been a record hot month. (Even though 2015 was wicked record hot with 10 months matching or exceeding record highs!) April blew past the last record in 2015 by a mile or two (+0.28 C or +0.43 F). [See NASA summary data here.
