California Rooftop Solar Mandate: An example of bad groupthink?
California Rooftop Solar Mandate: An example of bad groupthink? In recent news, California legislators have done a gimmick-trick that has earned the state loud applause from the environmentally-minded consumers and activists: California Energy Commission (CEC) recently voted 5-0 to add a new provision to the state’s building code.

Why we need new narratives and strategies to save the environment
Why we need new narratives and strategies to save the environment The fatalist-gloomy-future narrative around climate change hasn’t been compelling to mobilise enough individuals and communities for change.

Culture and climate
Culture and climate My purpose is to show that if cultures are to end further acceleration of the climate change they are causing, then new ways of life must be found, which no longer cause it. Tinkering with improvements to our current ways of life is futile. We must each of us change how we […]

It’s Time To Rethink What We’ve Been Proselytized Into Accepting About Weather Change And Ask Why No Investigation Is Given Regarding Weather Geoengineering As Part Of UN’s Agenda 21 Everyone complains about the weather, but no one can control it.
