Coronavirus versus global dimming
The above information came my way a couple days ago in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak. The chart came to my attention because it was claimed to be authoritative about the virus. The information is cross-referenced here: https://rentry.co/covid-19-is-not-like-the-flu As I type this, NYC has found its second patient today. The fiftysomething male individual infected […]
A video you should check
I know, I said I was slacking off on writing, but I’m just sharing someone’s work and not composing an essay myself. My addition here is from a video first uploaded to Youtube in February. It’s a long view of where we are vis global warming and the dire nature of what we face. What […]
Ending a blog (maybe)
I started this blog (BROOKLYN CULTURE JAM) back in 2012. I did it after HOW TO STOP THE EMPIRE, a solo play I’d done for Occupy Wall Street ended up on YouTube and I started getting hundreds of Friend requests on Facebook. I figured this was a good place to publicize my plays and also […]
Cue the traveling music
When you’ve lost everything, sometimes you need to travel. Hell, when you’re about to lose everything, you need to travel. We’ve all become enamored of changing the scenery over the years. And Joni Mitchell had it right all those years back–that we’d tear down Paradise to put up a parking lot. That we’d tear down […]

The Clown of Death: FAQ
(Preface: Apologies for the title. I wanted to say I was the ‘angel of death’ but that brings up Holocaust imagery in a way I didn’t want. I feel like I was representing Death, the character in the movie ‘Seventh Seal‘. But I wasn’t sure people would remember the movie. Remember this scene? I thought […]
The McPherson Paradox (updated)
So THIS happened–a group of earnest committed young people went to Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office to ask her to sign on for the ‘Green New Deal‘ program being pushed by progressive Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders (technically not a Democrat, but Progressives will take you if you’re warm). Things went badly. Someone took […]
Reblogging–Religion, Science and Gaining Traction
This is a post from Guy McPherson’s NATURE BATS LAST website that’s relevant in context of the Malcolm Light assertion about our survival being down to months. There’s a 46 minute video that Guy made in light of the dire message we’ve gotten in terms of the near certainty of earth experiencing a Permian style […]
Our path to the end
This post started as a response to a question on Quora. I spend way too much time on Quora and Facebook and other such time-vampire sites, but somehow I’ve worked up to the point where I’m a frequent responder on topics around climate change. I’ve become a most frequently-read poster ‘expert’ on Quora, which means… […]
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 […]
