It would be strangely terrible if the beginning of humanities decline was prefaced with something known as the “Big Burp”. The methane in the arctic is a super green house gas, and if the facts are correct, it is going to over salt our soup sooner than later.

Dead Wild Roses: Global Trumpism – Mark Blythe – Worth an hour of your time.
Mark Blythe seems to have a very good grasp of the current political and economic situations we now face. If you want a no bullshit update to the state of the world, watch this.

Paul Street writing for Counterpunch illustrates the problems humanity faces as a whole and how completely useless our insular elites and mainstream media would rather madly fiddle for short term profit that tackle the larger issues of the human habitability of the earth. “The 2020 elections and their aftermath (including

We humans are really bad at responding to the necessity of long term change. It doesn’t help that we also happen to be locked into political systems that strongly bias short term thinking and solutions. I’m thinking when most of Florida is underwater and New York City looks more

We have a NIMBY problem here. The bad news is that said NIMBY problem is on a planetary scale and my backyard is really everyone’s back yard so to speak. The doom of our time is coming, human driven climate change, and we merrily continue to do that very things

Our actions are causing the earth to warm. This is easy slam dunk science. Yet somehow the leader of the free world didn’t get the memo. Michael Klare writes: “In energy terms, what does dominant mean in practice? For President Trump and his cohorts, it means above all the

I’m not sure why people are having such problems dealing with factual reality. Whether it be the gender-queer crowd and their patented ability not to understand that sex and gender are not the same thing or here today with this story about the head of the EPA not accepting the

Some of us have the strange need to grease the skids toward our doom by climate. Bill Nye describes his experiences with these fools. Filed under: Science Tagged: AGW, Climage Change, Denialists, Science, Stupid People

We are on course to have a ice-free arctic during the summer months. This is yet another indicator of traumatic warming of our world due in part to our activities and policies. The climate is changing rapidly and a new dynamic equilibrium is being established. “Waves rearing as

This is what we get for not changing the system that is killing us – a half-assed, piecemeal romp toward oblivion. “Richard Smith, in a tour de force paper published in the Real-World Economics Review, “Green capitalism: the god that failed,” summed up the dilemma: “[T]he problem is not just

I’m amused. The denizens of Bullshite Mountain just *will not* give in to reason. We are messing with the earth’s climate and the best the right wingnutz can do is blame the government for attempting to infringe on their right to destroy biosphere. I’m thinking that when New York

I’ve discovered what ‘sardonic’ means. I mean this is a perfectly workable plan isn’t it? And after all, Carbon Dioxide isn’t strictly speaking a chemical weapon or poisonous gas. Plants love it! Not like Sarin or Chlorine. Best of all, nobody suffers. They just fall asleep. Filed under: art Tagged:

Recently on Twitter I engaged first the execrable Ezra Levant who had retweeted some obvious climate change denialist trolling to #cdnpoli (apparently the fact that it is cold at the coldest place on Earth in March is somehow proof that climate change is a lie) and later another persistent climate denier going off

CTV: Toronto sets warm weather record, Manitoba digs out from storm : This weekend, Toronto and other areas of southern Ontario set all-time high records for temperatures in January. In response, short-sighted morons express glee about spring-like weather when it is supposed to be winter. They spout idiotic slogans like:

There’s a big bright future ahead for coal and we’ll pay dearly for it. The International Energy Agency warns that, within five years, coal will rival oil as the fossil fuel energy source of choice. Coal consumption is increasing all over the world – even in countries and regions with

Imagine 2.4-million pounds of something, anything. Now imagine 2.4-million pounds of that something each and every second, 60 times a minute, 36-hundred times every hour; 604,800 times every week. That’s a lot of something, isn’t it?Sure it…

We used to get climate change reports once, perhaps twice a week. Now they’re flooding in daily. That’s not surprising given that scientific research papers on various aspects of anthropogenic global warming are now coming in at…
