“The Paris Agreement will see the planet burn”
This is mostly a regurgitation of a bunch of other people’s work (specifically, props to the folks at Democracy NOW, who haven’t been distracted by other news during the COP21 meeting). I don’t know whether to be relieved or saddened that many of the information dumps coming out of the COP21 Paris meeting are confirming the […]
New Video: “What Exxon Knew”
From Peter Sinclair. A video dissecting what Exxon knew in 1982 (if not earlier). Everything that our climate activists (including Al Gore) were saying was borne out by Exxon’s early predictions. Meanwhile, 350.org engaged in a People’s Trial of Exxon over the weekend. Held in France as part of the COP21 Summit, the prosecutors were […]
More about ‘Planet Hospice’
So, thanks to journalist and activist Paul DeRienzo, I’ve got a picture of myself participating in last Sunday’s Climate March in NYC. And yes, people did talk to me about extinction. Not many (and I had to leave shortly after the march ended because though I have the heart of a lion, I have the […]
The Global Climate March NYC, November 2015
Today there was a Climate March in NYC. I was there. I made the trip in my costume for Planet Hospice. And I carried a sign designed for the moment. Many pictures were taken of me (many by people with press credentials). I don’t know whether any will be in news feeds. And more than […]
Planet Hospice–A New monologue play
So let’s pretend that you’re me (YOU call the medical insurance people :-\) I consider myself intelligent enough, but I’m not a person with credentials attesting to that. I am not a PhD in anything. By the time I finished my masters degree many years ago, it was clear that colleges were no longer creating […]
Ukraine nuclear plants facing meltdown?
Several months ago (in April), I wrote about the obstructionist mess in electoral politics in the US leading to a ‘search for a man on horseback‘–the belief that someone like Donald Trump could sweep in on a steed and (metaphorically, one hopes) swing a sword a few times and bring us to a new age […]
Extinction goes mainstream? UPDATED
Some news regarding climate and predictions. The above cover was a wake-up call for me–I started blogging about ‘doomer porn’ almost three years ago. It has been a pretty lonely business being a Cassandra. But Utne Reader is a fairly mainstream print-media outlet–a few steps ahead of most lefty places, perhaps, but not out in […]
Bill Nye gives into climate hopium
Blogger Robin Westenra has a rundown of last Sunday’s (11/1) Nat Geo documentary on climate change and whether we’re on the road to extinction. He also links to a full-length (1 hour) version of the program. In it, Science ‘personality’ Bill Nye takes a lighthearted stab at the five stages of grief around climate collapse. Per Westenra: […]
October 11 methane plume and dire predictions
Regarding the Malcolm Light prediction I reported about October 3 (if you haven’t read it, it’s here, with an update here). The above series of diagrams (and many more that are relevant to the October 11 date) was just released by the Arctic News Group. Long story short; the above rendering shows a tiny dot where temperatures […]
Words of wisdom from Dr. Malcolm Light
I had posted a few news items by Dr. Malcolm Light here before. If you’ve been following this blog, you know that he has predicted disaster unfolding at the beginning of this month. Specifically, he posted this on his Facebook page: So in honor of Dr. Light (and in order to familiarize some of my readers […]
