Why are We Still Logging Our Forests?
Why are We Still Logging Our Forests? Anyone who accepts true science realizes that today’s big forest fires are driven far more by climate warming than by a lack of “active forest management” as claimed in previous editorial opinions. Active forest management, more honestly called “logging,” has always been the timber industry’s cure-all for every […]
Europe Inundated by Snow Down to Greece & Harvard Study Shows Oceans Are Getting Colder
Europe Inundated by Snow Down to Greece & Harvard Study Shows Oceans Are Getting Colder This winter is once again extremely brutal in Europe. Extremely heavy snow has fallen as far south as Greece in the range of even 3 to 5 feet in various places. This is the third year of extreme cold in […]
Living in the Concretaceous Period
Living in the Concretaceous Period Scientists long ago determined that Earth had entered the Anthropocene period, based on a determination that humans were altering fundamental planetary parameters such as biodiversity and the chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans to the degree that it warranted an entirely new geological designation. Following another millennium of observation and […]
The FT Editorial Board has a problem with those who pretend to solve climate change. Who might they have in mind?
The FT Editorial Board has a problem with those who pretend to solve climate change. Who might they have in mind? “The depressing reality about climate change is that we could solve the problem, at manageable cost, but are failing to do so.” So the Financial Times Editorial Board concluded on 26th December. “This failure […]
The Coming Mini Ice Age & Cyclical Movement of the Tropics Belt Itself
The Coming Mini Ice Age & Cyclical Movement of the Tropics Belt Itself We have the most sophisticated and diverse client base than probably any institution covering more than 100 countries. Our business has been constructed upon one bedrock foundation – unbiased computer analysis. These forecasts are NEVER my personal opinion. There are plenty of people who seek to […]
Rising Sea Levels – by How Much, and Why? A Current Commentary.
Rising Sea Levels – by How Much, and Why? A Current Commentary. The following was published in the journal Science Progress recently, of which I am an editor. Since this blog typically covers issues of environment and energy, I am including the present topic, which I hope will be of interest to its regular readers, […]
The end of the Little Ice Age
The end of the Little Ice Age The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a recent and significant climate perturbation that may still be affecting the Earth’s climate, but nobody knows what caused it. In this post I look into the question of why it ended when it did, concentrating on the European Alps, without greatly […]
Scientists: Weak Ocean Circulation Could Signify Incoming Mini Ice Age
Scientists: Weak Ocean Circulation Could Signify Incoming Mini Ice Age A weak circulation of ocean waters in the North Atlantic could signify that a mini ice age is just around the corner. Scientists have discovered the weakening currents look similar to those that happened right before the Little Ice Age, a cold spell observed between about […]
Weather Channel: “It’s Been One Of The Most Miserable Starts To Winter On Record”
Weather Channel: “It’s Been One Of The Most Miserable Starts To Winter On Record” Across the Northeast, Midwest, and Plains, it has been one of the coldest and snowiest starts to the winter season on record. “Winter has gotten off to a fast start across a majority of the United States, particularly across the Northeast. Early season […]
The Extinction Rebellion–A Tipping Point for the Climate Emergency?
THE EXTINCTION REBELLION – A TIPPING POINT FOR THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY? The only rational response to the scientific evidence on climate change, is to declare a global emergency – to mobilise all of society to do whatever it takes to fix it. As the UN Secretary General Guterres recently stated: “We face a direct existential threat”. […]
Why This Planet Is Becoming Uninhabitable
Why This Planet Is Becoming Uninhabitable And Even Trump Now Acknowledges that Man-Made Global Warming Spells Doom There are now overt indications that this planet is becoming uninhabitable. Not only are increasing numbers of humans migrating from near the Equator, northward toward nations that have more temperate climates, but also there are stronger and more […]
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 […]
NASA Now Says They See a Cooling Trend – Not Warming
NASA Now Says They See a Cooling Trend – Not Warming “We see a cooling trend,” Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center said in late September. “High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for […]
Climate Change – Warming is Good – Cold is Bad
Climate Change – Warming is Good – Cold is Bad QUESTION: Do you think that a pole shift will be devastating to society? SK ANSWER: No. I think many turn such events into a looming existential threat destined to destroy us. That is probably up there with the Yellowstone Supervolcano. These treasured theories of our impending […]
A Field Guide to the Petrochemical and Plastics Industry
A Field Guide to the Petrochemical and Plastics Industry The shale gas industry has been trying to build demand for fossil fuels from its fracked oil and gas wells by promoting the construction of a new petrochemical corridor in America’s Rust Belt and expanding the corridor on the Gulf Coast. To help demystify terms like “natural […]
