Here’s yet another article on the legal action that’s being taken, all around the globe apparently, against the oil industry for its conspiracy to cover up the truth about climate change during the period of time in which humankind could have dealt with the problem more quickly and inexpensively.

Here’s an article called “Drop in city’s emissions chalked up to coal plant closures.” How totally unexpected. It’s along the lines of “Birth control reduces unwanted pregnancies.” (more…)

As you watch this time-lapse video of the melting of the arctic sea ice, keep in mind that the thickness of the ice is decreasing as well. That, of course, is not obvious from what you’re able to see, which is why there is an entire team of scientists dedicated to determining what’s happening under the surface; I had the pleasure of having dinner with the leader of the group at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) a few years back.
