More on Exxon Revelations
A Democracy NOW interview with a reporter from Inside Climate Change who broke the story about Exxon’s knowledge of Climate warming back in the late 1970s. Worth 13 minutes of your time. This is Not Cool Interview with Neela Banerjee, lead reporter on the bombshell series of revelations from Inside Climate News, – what Exxon […]
California Governor Warns of Coming Climate Refugee Crisis
Governor Moonbeam says what no one else in the US political arena will say regarding US climate warming producing its own stream of refugees. One year of decent ‘normal’ rain and snow will not begin fix California or the rest of the drought stricken areas west of the Mississippi. There’s no fixing this absent some […]
The Arctic sea ice watch 2015
I don’t have much to contribute here except to note that Robin Westenra, whose site I’m sending you to, has been doing the real leg-work on climate collapse and NTHE. I am merely here to offer you an introduction to his work. If you’re joining late, the question is how big this year’s Arctic Sea […]
Near Term Human Extinction 101
I have had a number of wonderful/sad/bittersweet/ conversations with people over the past few months regarding the probability of near term human extinction as a result of climate disruption. One of the problems for people who haven’t followed the discussions from people who understand near term human extinction is that the threads don’t fit together easily. Dr. […]
Hostage Capitalism, the ACA and RIP Medical Debt
(a CBS promo for a story about RIP Medical Debt) I don’t wish to join the conventional chorus of nay-sayers about ‘Obamacare’ (formally the ACA), but results are in after the Supreme Court upheld the law a few weeks ago, and it ain’t pretty. It appears that the insurance companies are jacking up insurance rates some […]
Are Climate Deniers Racketeers? or just Good Fellas?
Exxon first figured out that carbon emissions were a significant threat to world environment in 1981. They kept that little fact to themselves until someone hacked into old memos and found out. This is the tobacco industry argument–if the executives of Big Tobacco knew their product was death even for non-smokers, why weren’t they being […]
Half a Million Acres Burned in Just One Day — Alaska Shatters Record For Worst June Wildfire Outbreak Ever
Originally posted on robertscribbler:
All throughout the mainstream media last week we heard the same myopic litany — ‘a massive wildfire outbreak ongoing in Alaska is not abnormal.’ Well, today, all pretense that there was anything normal about the 314 wildfires still raging throughout the state has gone up in a cloud of boreal forest,…
Not a Tea Party, a Confederate Party
Originally posted on The Weekly Sift:
Tea Partiers say you don’t understand them because you don’t understand American history. That’s probably true, but not in the way they want you to think. Late in 2012, I came out of the Lincoln movie with two historical mysteries to solve: How did the two parties switch places…
Thanks Dr. Evil! Fossil Fuel Propaganda Misfire Goes Viral
The PR agencies retained by the fossil fuel people push back on negative perceptions. Their villain is Bill McKibben for wanting to keep all of us from burning all the energy we can because we’re ‘Muricans. While this is a misguided attempt to move the guilt onto climate activists, the reality is that (as I […]
Calling it what it is–the euphemism of ‘Climate Change’
The story has recently broken through the MSM that we’ve reached 400 parts Per Million of carbon dioxide in Mister atmosphere. The thing we breathe. We’d hit the number before but we hadn’t stayed at it for a month the way we did in April. 400 is the new normal. 350 is so ‘last century’. […]
