What is The Venus Project and Why Can It Never Be Attained?
What is The Venus Project and Why Can It Never Be Attained? Something which is difficult to get away from when it comes to the predicament of ecological overshoot and all of its offshoots such as climate change is the wide array of different plans for so-called “solutions” for these predicaments. Perhaps, ironically, the most […]
Activities Which Can Help Us Deal With Climate Anxiety
Activities Which Can Help Us Deal With Climate Anxiety Lake Powhatan Swimming Beach, Asheville, North Carolina Recently, it has been brought to my attention that I’m getting older. [Well, big DUH there – as if any of us is getting younger!] One of the things that growing older often brings is more wisdom. Human beings […]
New Documentary: Headwind”21
New Documentary: Headwind”21 Wow, I was taken aback somewhat by this new documentary just released in September. Of course, I’ve known for quite some time that the “green” and “clean” and “renewable” labels affixed to different projects are nothing more than hype and PR. However, the fact that the people in charge of all of this actually […]
What is Surplus Energy?
What is Surplus Energy? I’ve been meaning to write an article featuring Dr. Tim Morgan’s blog for quite some time due to the fact that he has quite an awesome site. You can find his blog here, Surplus Energy Economics. Many people may find the word economics in the name somewhat off-putting, but these economics are more about energy […]
Does Climate Change Increase Earthquakes and Volcanic Activity?
Does Climate Change Increase Earthquakes and Volcanic Activity? From top; Columbia Glacier, Mount Blackburn, Worthington Glacier, Matanuska Glacier Something many people aren’t aware of is just how climate change is affecting natural disasters once thought to have no connection to weather and/or climate – earthquakes and volcanic activity. Unfortunately, these two phenomena are predicted to […]
Why is Promoting Technology NOT Good?
Why is Promoting Technology NOT Good? Recently I wrote this in one of the groups I manage after reading several comments from members who clearly did not understand the facts behind several of my posts, quote: “I think it is important to point out why promoting technology is NOT a good thing. First of all, […]
What Should We Want to Hold Onto?
What Should We Want to Hold Onto? The ongoing debates in many different groups (and on social media in general) are really beginning to show that some people have a good comprehension and grasp of the predicaments we face. On the other hand, I still see so many folks who want to try to hold […]
The Fantasy of Electrification
The Fantasy of Electrification Recently, I have come across literally hundreds of people defending EVs, their batteries, and electricity generation of all flavors. Of course, this is all fine and dandy, as I am used to the typical arguments in favor of technology of all stripes and often simply post my article about Problems, Predicaments, and […]
The Myth of The “Energy Transition”
The Myth of The “Energy Transition” Today I want to tackle once again the subject of the much-hyped “energy transition” which has been thoroughly debunked from articles, books, documentaries, and presentation videos such as Planet of the Humans, Bright Green Lies (also located here), Life After Fossil Fuels, Earth and Humanity: Myth and Reality, The Hydrogen Economy Myth, Energy and Human Ambitions on […]
More Cognitive Dissonance, Part Two
More Cognitive Dissonance, Part Two It is truly saddening to see so many articles which proclaim complete nonsense. The worst part is that so many people are culturally indoctrinated to the point where they cannot see through these false claims. In this particular one, the claim is made that we need to protect nature (true), […]
Pulling Back The Curtain On The Energy Transition Tale
Pulling Back The Curtain On The Energy Transition Tale OK, I am going to try to keep this quite short and to the point. Everyone familiar with me knows that I have been rather outspoken against what are commonly called “technofixes” for a considerably long time. Of course, this has always been for very good […]
More Cognitive Dissonance
More Cognitive Dissonance In my last post, I expressed my concerns regarding methane emissions along with the growing speed which our collective predicaments appear to be gaining. Then I explained precisely why we have thus far not made any real progress on these predicaments based upon our collective denial, which has a considerable amount to do with […]
What is the Root Issue of Our Unsustainability?
What is the Root Issue of Our Unsustainability? Two pictures from Falls Mill, Tennessee, depicting life in the late 1800s. The mill now houses a museum and is open for tours and a bed and breakfast is also on site. Last week, I updated the files here with over 250 new articles and studies (see this list). There were […]
It’s a Trap, Don’t Do It
It’s a Trap, Don’t Do It My last article focused on mindsets and how they can lead us into traps. One of the most pervasive of these traps is the energy trap. People are constantly searching for new types of energy, new energy generation, and/or ways to improve energy efficiency, ALL of which unfortunately are ultimately […]
Problems, Predicaments, and Technology
Problems, Predicaments, and Technology We often see people bring out certain ideas that they claim are some sort of “solution” or that “they work” and I want to try to explain why (once again) these ideas are nothing more than ideas and not “solutions” of any sort. One of the things I most would like to […]
