Imagine Earth Day in ten years
Imagine Earth Day in ten years It’s a bit of a challenge, to imagine what Earth Day will look like in ten years. Part of that challenge arises from the fact that it depends on what we do throughout that decade to deal with and try to correct the ravages of incipient climate change effects. […]
Are we Headed into Another Ice Age?
Are we Headed into Another Ice Age? Our model has projected we are entering another “grand-minimum,” which will overtake the sun beginning in 2020 and will last through the 2050s, resulting in diminished magnetism, infrequent sunspot production, and less ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching Earth.

Why mitigation will never stabilize the climate
Why mitigation will never stabilize the climate I have previously shown that it is too late to mitigate, by at least fifty years (see my earlier blog post of 18 January 2021).

Biden’s Climate Plan: It’s Too Late for Gradualism
Biden’s Climate Plan: It’s Too Late for Gradualism Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair President Biden gave us his climate plan on March 31. It was buried inside his American Jobs Plan. The 12,000-word Fact Sheet about it released by the White House hardly acknowledges the climate emergency. The plan is presented as a jobs through infrastructure program. […]
Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap
Climate scientists: concept of net zero is a dangerous trap Sometimes realisation comes in a blinding flash. Blurred outlines snap into shape and suddenly it all makes sense. Underneath such revelations is typically a much slower-dawning process. Doubts at the back of the mind grow. The sense of confusion that things cannot be made to fit […]
With ‘Piecemeal’ Budget, BC Is Headed Towards Climate Failure, Critics Say
With ‘Piecemeal’ Budget, BC Is Headed Towards Climate Failure, Critics Say Province’s investments are ‘very, very small compared to the challenges.’ BC’s budget is a ‘missed opportunity to invest in things like a worker transition, electrifying the transportation sector and protecting our strongest environmental assets like old growth forests,’ says Green Leader Sonia Furstenau. This […]

Europe is under Control of World Economic Forum
Europe is under Control of World Economic Forum I have received some emails from Europe saying there is no proof that Europe is being controlled by Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum.

Geoengineering the climate: The zombie idea that just won’t die
Geoengineering the climate: The zombie idea that just won’t die Just when you think the last boomlet for geoengineering the climate has expended itself and we might be rid of any serious consideration of it as a strategy for addressing climate change, it rises zombie-like from the dead and starts roaming the Earth again. The […]

As temps rise, so do water protector arrests AITKIN COUNTY, Minn. — Spring is bringing the heat to opponents of the Enbridge Line 3 tar-sands oil pipeline, as levels of arrests and citations for demonstrations against the private Canadian infrastructure project rise faster than at any time since construction began on it in December.

Sorry Cranky Conservatives! Carbon Pricing Wins the Day
Sorry Cranky Conservatives! Carbon Pricing Wins the Day The Supreme Court ruling is good news for anyone invested in a habitable planet.

What taxpayer-funded mischief […]
