It was titled \u201cThe Stormwatch Project\u201d \u2014 why, yes, I was a Jethro Tull fan back in the day; how did you guess? ? \u2014 and it never did get any noticeable traction, so I let it go the way of all websites in due time. Yet the name, not to mention the underlying image of eyes turned to the turbulent heavens, watching for signs of trouble to come, seemed worth keeping, so I\u2019ll be repurposing it here.<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>I considered just doing a monthly link roundup, but there are already quite a few good sites that provide that service on a daily basis \u2014 two that I visit regularly are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nakedcapitalism.com\/\">Naked Capitalism<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/collapse\">Collapse subreddit<\/a> \u2014 so reinventing that particular wheel didn\u2019t seem like a good idea. Instead, I\u2019m going to try a monthly post with links from the internet and commentary from me, focusing on one theme at a time. This month we\u2019re going to talk about the current pace of anthropogenic climate change.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s perhaps the most massive story of our time; it\u2019s happening a good deal faster than I expected \u2014 though in all fairness, a great many climate scientists have been caught flatfooted by the pace of change as well. It\u2019s a measure of how drastic the situation has become that so many people have fled into a flat denial that anything of the kind is taking place, or the equal and opposite insistence that we\u2019re all going to die soon so it doesn\u2019t matter. That\u2019s understandable, as the alternative is coming to terms with the impending failure of the myth of progress and the really messy future we\u2019re making for those who come after us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 2017 Stormwatch: Climate Change Many years ago, not long after I first got onto the internet, I created a website to try to encourage community groups to make preparations for the hard times to come.
