More on Arctic methane–are we really f**ked?
Wow, this is a headline I didn’t want to read. “If we release a small portion of Arctic carbon, ‘We’re fucked’: Climatologist Yup. That’s (more or less) what Dr. Jason Box, a widely published glaciologist, tweeted. He had been following the developments from an expedition into the Arctic in search of data on methane releases. Scientists […]
They DON’T plan to tell us
For those of you joining late, several weeks ago, authorities in Russia were taken aback to find that a giant hole had appeared in a field in Siberia. Latest news from the climate front–TWO MORE LARGE HOLES have appeared in the Siberian tundra. One has been around since last September–noticed by the locals, but not reported. […]
Hip Hop Happy Time!
Yes, I’m depressing to read lately. Don’t know why anybody would follow my posts. And this week just passed was the week that crap blew up all over the place. The week of the Methane Bubble in Siberia. The week when a Malaysian airliner got shot down over Ukraine. The week when a whole lot […]
People’s Climate March: an antidote to despair
If you’ve been following me here, you know that I’ve put out some… dystopian commentary lately. Some progressive news sources have finally become aware of Guy McPherson’s dire predictions about irreversible climate collapse. If you believe the climatologists that McPherson has been writing about, we’re a few decades from extinction for the clever ape. Of […]

Quick note about open carry
This is an old post from 2014 but it applies to the recent mass-shootings. Being that I’m ostensibly a good liberal, I’m getting the pictures and fundraising e-mails and Facebook links of the Open Carry ‘activists’ congregating at stores. Target is not the only such store–open carry advocates are packing heat in malls, restaurants and […]
Hi Fukushima, nothing to see here, move on…
Is everybody getting tired of me posting about this again? I am. But since nobody else is doing this (and by ‘nobody’, I mean none of those paid media guys at the ‘news networks’ busy telling us crap like this matters. Okay, maybe this matters. Nope? what about this?) I feel some responsibility here. At […]
Cecily McMillan’s sentencing: the state gets what it wants
Monday, when it was all said and done, Cecily McMillan received a three month prison sentence plus five years probation after being convicted of assaulting a police officer during an Occupy Wall Street demonstration on the six-month anniversary of the original occupation of Zuccotti Park. Many believe that any sentence including jail time–indeed any sentence at all –was […]
Newark’s $100 M School Debacle
A long-form report just published in the New Yorker caught my attention. Five years ago, then- Newark Mayor Cory Booker persuaded Mark Zuckerberg (mister FaceBook) to donate $100 M to improving the schools of the city of Newark NJ. There were a number of conditions put on the money, but the upshot was that […]
