A new study just validated that plant-based food products, e.g., Impossible Food and Beyond Meat, are healthier than their animal-based counterparts, while reconfirming that they’re better for the environment. We all need to expect the first assertion (about health) to …

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Rise in Earth’s Temperature
From a reader: What I can’t understand is this, supported by about every climate scientist on the globe: If the U.S. stopped producing 100% of all CO2, it would change global temperature by year 2100 a negligible amount (-.246°F) according …

America’s Biggest Mistake
Based on our current trajectory, my guess is that Trump will be held accountable for his attempt to overthrow the U.S. government, and will be regarded by history accordingly. No one expects this to be smooth, but I for one …
Our Experience with Donald Trump Could Have Been Far Worse
Most people don’t realize how far wrong this could have gone. America’s reputation on the world stage was temporarily dashed to pieces, but it will return intact. Our handling of the pandemic was butchered, but most of us will recover. …

My Goodness, That’s a Bold Move
The photo here (that I altered) reminds me of the Earth Day celebration in Santa Barbara a few years ago. As a band had just finished up and was leaving the stage, the lead singer took the mic and said, …
