Planet Hospice at Ithaca Fringe!
It has come to pass that I will be performing my play Planet Hospice (a lighthearted exploration of the sixth stage of grief, gallows humor) at the Ithaca Fringe Festival this coming April. Dates of the festival are April 14-17. Tickets are going to be amazingly cheap. Planet Hospice is a lecture/clown performance on climate […]
2 C temp increase is already here
When I was younger (which could be any time in the recent past, actually), I was posting here that world temperatures had already increased due to warming by a number of around .85 c (or 1.5 F). That number was based on a lecture I viewed on Youtube by my go-to expert on such matters. […]
Donald Trump has already won
So people are FINALLY taking Donald Trump seriously now that he’s won several decisive primary battles. There are still opportunities to derail his bid for the White House. The ‘country club’ branch of the GOP is panicked (and rightly so). Trump represents a challenge to the Republican status quo that’s pretty hard to quantify. But […]
My article makes Huffpo
Thanks to my FB pal Angie Cordeiro (whose work I championed here a few weeks ago), the better part of my post ‘We Interrupt this Election…‘ has made the Huffington Post. Thanks to Angie for her work to make me seem smarter. It’s an unforgiving task. Now, if you want to help support this effort […]
We interrupt this election…
I’m stepping away from the election coverage I’ve been doing over the past month. While such blogs have driven traffic here, I have some opinions about the futility of the election that would probably drive traffic away. Simply put, I don’t expect any presidential candidate to change the issues coming up with climate collapse. And […]
Just to be clear(see ya later)
I’ve taken a step back here–I’m going to be going away for a few days, and I probably won’t be posting again til the 20th. I’ve also got to admit I’ve been drawn into the election (and neglecting other stories of note), especially the Democratic primary. I’m a political junkie of no small level, and […]
Blocked by Huffpo–UPDATE
UPDATE: DANGER WILL ROBINSON! I’m pleased to announce that Huffington Post finally put this article on their website. Huzzah! You can find it here. Background: I have this FB friend named Angie Cordeiro. She has what has been called an ‘eclectic’ background–studying (and writing about) everything from human nutrition, early childhood development, religion, natural and holistic […]
Going after Exxon in the court of public opinion– UPDATED
Image from DailyKos article on what the oil companies knew and when they knew it. In this case the illustration shows temperature anomalies for the last week of December 2015. (Scroll to bottom for important update). Peter Sinclair, the blogger behind Climate Change Crock of the Week, put the highlighted text as the title of his […]
They won’t tell us: ‘Crazy’ NTHE allegations
I’ve delayed posting this for over a week now. I’m still not sure I should. As all of you who’ve been paying attention might have noticed, I’m a reluctant convert to the idea that humanity has already passed all the tipping points on mitigating the damage we’ve done to the earth. I know this is […]
