The Arctic Heats Up in the Dead of Winter
The Arctic Heats Up in the Dead of Winter Photo by NOAA Photo Library | CC BY 2.0 Every once in a while a climatic event hits that forces people to sit down to catch their breath. Along those lines, abnormal Arctic heat waves in the dead of winter may force scientists to revaluate downwards […]
Global Warming Zaps Oxygen
Global Warming Zaps Oxygen Photo by Todd Huffman | CC BY 2.0 Take a deep breath. A recent scientific study reveals disturbing loss of ocean oxygen. Unnerving climatic events like this justify ringing and clanging of the bells on the Public Square, all hands on deck. In particular, and as expected, the culprit is too […]
Two Minutes to Doomsday
Two Minutes to Doomsday Photo by Toby Scott | CC BY 2.0 Not since 1953, when the U.S. and the Soviets exploded thermonuclear bombs, has the world been such a powder keg! Only recently, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock forward 30 seconds. It now registers two minutes to midnight. Verily, […]
Global Warming Stirs the Methane Monster
Global Warming Stirs the Methane Monster Photo by Jeremy Buckingham | CC BY 2.0 It’s January, yet methane hydrates in the Arctic are growling like an incensed monster on a scorching hot mid-summer day. But, it is January; it’s winter, not July! On January 1st Arctic methane at 2,764 ppb spiked upwards into the atmosphere, […]
The Menacing Insect Omen
The Menacing Insect Omen The world is experiencing a massive loss of insects. In turn, this threatens ecosystems with utter total collapse, and, by way of direct association, loss of human civilization. Zap, it’s over! Insectageddon! Insect populations around the world are under massive attack and dropping like… well… like flies. The negative implications run […]
Pesticide Suicide
Pesticide Suicide Photo by jetsandzeppelins | CC BY 2.0 Pesticide suicide refers to toxic chemicals mucking up the health of animals, plants and insects. This worldwide causatum may be totally out of control or maybe not; nobody knows for sure. Therein lies the scary part. However, what is known is not encouraging: “Industrial toxins are […]
Dying Ecosystems
Dying Ecosystems Photo by Richard Allaway | Public Domain Earth’s ecosystems support all life, though collapsed ecosystems would be like stepping outside of the international space station not wearing a space suit. Pop! Bam! Gone! A recent academic study about signals of ecosystem collapse throughout history fits the space suit analogy. Terrifying truth is exposed: […]

The Ecosystem is Breaking Down
The Ecosystem is Breaking Down Photo by Richard Allaway | Public Domain The ecosystem is the quintessential essence of life on our planet, and this crucial life system is showing signs of breaking down. It is likely a more pressing problem than climate change. Time will tell but time is short. The ecosystem consists of […]
Hidden Danger of Ecological Collapse
Hidden Danger of Ecological Collapse Photo by Phil Fiddyment | CC by 2.0 A recent landmark study that investigated alarming loss of insects is leaving scientists dumbfounded, deeply troubled, potentially the biggest-ever existential threat, risking ecosystem collapse too soon for comfort. In contrast to global warming, this may be much more imminently dangerous across-the-board to […]
The Great Acceleration Death Trap
The Great Acceleration Death Trap The Great Acceleration, post WWII humanity forcing the earth system, is charging ahead at exponential speed, including record temps year-after-year-after year-after year and on and on it goes, relentlessly. Fatally, many parts of the world become uninhabitable with a 2°-4°C increase in temps, too hot for human physiology. Under the […]
Climate Armageddon Revisited
Climate Armageddon Revisited It was only five years ago that Scientific American published this article: Climate Armageddon: How the World’s Weather Could Quickly Run Amok, d/d May 25, 2012. The subheading to that article read: “Climate scientists think a perfect storm of climate ‘flip’ could cause massive upheavals in a matter of years.” Well now…. […]
Harvey: Fierce Climate Change at Work
