Is Global Warming an Existential Threat? Probably Not, But Still a Serious Issue.
Is Global Warming an Existential Threat? Probably Not, But Still a Serious Issue. During the recent presidential debate, a number of candidates suggested that global warming represents an existential threat to mankind, and thus requires dramatic and immediate action. Governor Jay Inslee has been particularly generous in the use of this term, but he is not alone. […]
Do electric cars take more CO2 to build than they save?
Do electric cars take more CO2 to build than they save? EVs take a lot of CO2 to manufacture but should save more over a lifetime of use Listen 2:33 (click on above link to listen) This week’s question comes to us from John Stinner in Prince George, B.C. He asks: Do electric car batteries […]
CO2 levels pass 3-million-year record

Image: By Tony Webster, via Wikimedia Commons The modern world is about to pass a temperature peak dating back for millions of years – because CO2 levels have already passed an ancient record.. LONDON, 8 April, 2019 – German scientists have confirmed, once […]
Amidst Global Warming Hysteria, NASA Expects Global Cooling
Amidst Global Warming Hysteria, NASA Expects Global Cooling Those promoting CO2 as the reason for global warming are hucksters and those taken in by hucksters. Please consider NASA Sees Climate Cooling Trend Thanks to Low Sun Activity. “We see a cooling trend,” said Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center. “High above Earth’s surface, near the […]
End Times, Dead Ahead
End Times, Dead Ahead “It is time we consider the implications of it being too late to avert a global environmental catastrophe in the lifetimes of people alive today.” (Jem Bendell) In other words, the world is coming to an end. Of course it is… but when? Professor Jem Bendell’s brilliant seminal work, “Deep Adaptation: […]
It’s Time to Get Serious About CO2 Pollution
It’s Time to Get Serious About CO2 Pollution Fifty years ago, a bipartisan U.S. Congress enacted novel, far-reaching legislation that changed our country and the world for the better. At that time, the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act were new, untested approaches to combating pollution. The U.S. had a huge problem in the […]
Is This The Answer To Global Warming?
Is This The Answer To Global Warming? In my previous article – Indisputable Facts On Climate Change – I addressed some of the things we know to be true as it relates to carbon dioxide and global temperatures. Note that I didn’t try to connect any number of potential threads, nor make dire predictions. My article was […]

COP24: climate protesters must get radical and challenge economic growth What do we want … when do we want it? Now. Etienne Laurent/EPA At the COP24 conference in Poland, countries are aiming to finalise the implementation plan for the 2015 Paris Agreement. The task has extra gravity in the wake of the recent IPCC report declaring […]
Carbon Capture – Does it Work?
Carbon Capture – Does it Work? Photo Source Nicholas A. Tonelli | CC BY 2.0 Harken! Good news (maybe) “encouraging news” is a better description, as Negative Emissions Technology (“NET”) starts coming into focus. Conceptually, carbon removal or direct air capture removes CO2 from the atmosphere, which would be great for suppressing climate change. In […]
Build More Gardens, Phase out Cars
Build More Gardens, Phase out Cars Because plants convert CO2 (a greenhouse gas) into oxygen, gardens combat global warming. Right? Isn’t this, as Sherlock Holmes would say, elementary? So why then is the mayor of a major coastal city, one whose very existence is threatened by global warming, intent on destroying community gardens? Could it […]
Is There Hope and a World Warming at 1.5 Degrees Celsius
Is There Hope and a World Warming at 1.5 Degrees Celsius Photo Source NASA’s Earth Observatory | CC BY 2.0 The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change has concluded the finalization of a special report on the impact of a 1.5 degree Celsius global warming above preindustrial levels. Meeting in Incheon, South Korea (October 1-5), its three working […]
UN Puts $2.4 Trillion Annual Price Tag On Mitigating Climate Change
UN Puts $2.4 Trillion Annual Price Tag On Mitigating Climate Change Climate scientists are not known for giving good news, and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that convened in South Korea was no exception: the scientists that compiled a special report on the climate situation on the planet slapped optimists in the face: […]
Is Nature Preparing for a New Ice Age or a Pole Shift?
Is Nature Preparing for a New Ice Age or a Pole Shift? There is a very curious connection between lakes and volcanos in the Arctic. I just posted how there are kilotons of CO2 coming out of volcanos. There is a similar thing now showing up in lakes in the Arctic as well. There are about 300 […]
