Twenty Blocks North of the Rock Pile–a new play coming to Florida
I’m pleased to announce that my play TWENTY BLOCKS NORTH OF THE ROCK PILE has been selected in the Orlando Fringe Fest lottery (Okay, third tier) and thus will be one of the pieces performed in Orlando next May. I had despaired of ever getting this play produced, and I thought this was the way […]
Voting controversy and how elections work
Donald Trump was very upset about the way the mid-term elections turned out. When you are involved in politics and your side loses, you are supposed to walk away quietly unless you have provable allegations of fraud. This is what we heard this week: “The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” […]
Scientific Mal-Practice from the Mann Himself
Originally posted on Kevin Hester:
In an August the 5th 2018 article in Salon titled “On Climate Change it’s time to start panicking” Michael E Mann bare faced lies to an unsuspecting public saying that it is still possible to avoid a dangerous 2C temperature rise on this beleaguered planet. “The good news is that humanity…

The Homeless Congresswoman-elect
A political earthquake hit New York last June. A young woman named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knocked off a longtime incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley, who was being positioned to possibly take over Nancy Pelosi’s position as speaker. Crowley, a ‘centrist’ Democrat who in many ways the epitome of the politicos who turned off the electorate in 2016, […]
The Norwegian Blue Society (‘pulchritudine vestiuntur’)
This is a proposal. For most of the last six years I’ve been writing about a variety of causes and issues. Most are political and most of these are climate related. There are now a multitude of Facebook pages on the topic of climate change as it relates to human extinction. The oft-mentioned Dr. Guy […]
UPDATE: Children’s Lawsuit on climate approved
I’d written about this a couple months ago. This is the case of children and young people suing the US Federal government over climate change. If you need to catch up, you can look up my earlier article (link above). Those of us following the trial knew that would not be the end of the […]
Let’s back up here…
This is a moment to back up a bit. I have put out lots of info on climate over the past five years, and some of it has changed. There are assumptions that people are making now, what with the sixth IPCC assessment now out. A lot of folks reading my blog lately don’t understand many […]
We’re screwed– evidence no longer matters (updated)

Exxon (the world’s most profitable company) purchases ad space on YouTube’s video of 350.org’s People’s Tribunal VS Exxon. If you click on this link about Exxon’s lies, you’ll be ‘treated’ to an Exxon ‘feelgood’ ad about why we need oil. #ExxonKnew. This has been on my mind for…
‘They don’t plan to tell us’ 2018 edition
Explosions of methane in the Siberian permafrost. I first used this title four years ago, when there was scant news coverage of the explosion of methane out of the Siberian Permafrost (satellite pic from Siberian Times). I was more optimistic back then… The big news in Media Matters on Monday–of the 50 largest largest US newspapers, […]
