Emissions reductions alone allow Earth’s temperature to continue to rise, sea level to continue to climb, and our beaches to mostly disappear. What can we do to not only prevent…
The “moral imperative dilemma” is that thing where we feel it is our duty to create a fossil fuel extinction in order address climate change. This is something our climate…
In 2015, new energy generation construction from wind and solar accounted for 70 percent of the total globally. Natural gas was 27 percent and coal was relegated to the 3%…
Observations on Declining U.S. Emissions: It's a widely held belief that the U.S. has been reducing emissions since the peak 2005-2007 before the recession. This is just barely valid today,…
South Padre Island sea level rise erosion, mile 11 beyond end of pavement, Spring Tide, April 2014, non-storm conditions: Spring Tides in April and King Tides in October are the…
One of the biggest myths about climate change is that emissions reductions cool Earth. This is nowhere close to reality. Even the Paris Commitments of 80 percent emissions reductions by…
The IPCC changed their fundamental philosophy on how they evaluate scenarios of our future climate in their 2013 reporting, but they have yet to acknowledge the most common and meaningful…
A quick note on the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's review of climate pollution reform technologies: Climate Intervention -- Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration, June 2017. Theoretical academic…
It's a widely held misconception that implementation of Paris Climate commitments would tame the climate beast. This has no more been the case in the past than it is today.…
Sea level rise erosion, South Padre Island, about mile 20 up the four-wheel drive beach. This erosion is occurring during normal, non-storm tides when the sun and moon align to…
President Trump it seems, has given us permission to backslide with our thinking about climate change. Until we have rule or law that tells us we must do something about…
The Thermometer Series: The fifth of six articles on the next steps in climate reform and why we need to advance current climate change strategy. We have entered the non-linearly…
The Thermometer Series: The third of six articles on the next steps in climate reform and why we need to advance current climate change strategy. Scientists have been planning for…
The Thermometer Series: The second of six articles on the next steps in climate reform and why we need to advance current climate change strategy. For 24 years we have…
Record Greenland Melt August 2012. This image is from 35 miles inland from the edge of the ice sheet due east from a place called Point 660, which is about…
And they also say that Elvis is not dead. But alas... the answer is no, we are not saved. Things are actually getting worse because of the so-called "flattening emissions."…
