Global Cooling is Real – Major Temperature Low 2046? While NASA has now confirmed that the outer atmosphere is getting cooler, it seems desperately insane for people to keep denying the possibility the Global Cooling is taking place rather than Global Warming when the former brings famine and the latter brings economic expansion as […]
The Scourge of the American Petroleum Tankers That Prowl the British Columbia Coast
The Scourge of the American Petroleum Tankers That Prowl the British Columbia Coast November 26 marked a dreadful anniversary for the tanker-bedraggled British Columbia coast.

Good news (maybe) “encouraging news” is a better description, as Negative Emissions Technology (“NET”) starts coming into focus.

Thoughts From The Precipice
Shutterstock Thoughts From The Precipice Things are worsening. But we’re not over the edge quite yet. As you already know, things are unraveling. The narratives of the past are being revealed as false and fraudulent — even harmful. For example, the fallacy of pursuing “ever more” growth. Growth up to a point is beneficial, but […]
