An Amusing Look at the Difference Between Weather and Climate
There are lots of things in this world that have ceased to function properly, most notably a U.S. government of, by, and for the people. But there are still aspects of our culture that always come through, like the way nature takes its course when stupid people make asinine remarks, are subject to public ridicule, and, on a good day, lose their credibility.
Here’s a great example, where Texas Senator John Cornyn (pictured) tweets that snow in the Sahara is evidence that global warming is a hoax. He rightfully got his head handed to him. Hooray for this sociological system of checks and balances, and the enhanced speed with which it works by virtue of social media.
Hate to say I told you so, but it looks like 
Every Christmas since we opened in 2009, I’ve written a hopeful little holiday message in the spirit of the season and the expectation of a bright New Year.
It’s so good to see that 
For years, we’ve been discussing the impact of wireless (inductive) charging of electric vehicles. The most obvious use of such technology is in buses and other automobiles that make routine stops in predictable places, e.g., shuttle buses that deliver passengers from airports to hotels and vice versa. Each stop can be equipped with a charging plate, that delivers perhaps for instance 20 KW very efficiently, which, even if applied for only the few minutes required to load and unload passengers, is plenty to get that vehicle to the next stop.
If your New Year’s resolution is about living a greener and more sustainable lifestyle in the coming year, now’s the time to consider looking around your house for ways to cut its carbon footprint. Wintertime, for most parts of the country, means burning additional fuel to heat your home and stay comfortable during the long, dark season. 
Here are two stories whose ultimate point is that pollution doesn’t stay in the place from which it was generated; it tends to spread itself around the globe.
The world is changing quickly, but it isn’t always for the better. A lot of the things that we’re doing right now are destroying the planet, and we’re going to have to alter our lifestyles dramatically if there’s any hope in reversing some of what we’ve done. There are plenty of people out there who want to do something to help the world, but they just aren’t sure how. Luckily, there are plenty of career paths that people can take to do their part to help save the planet. Here are four career paths that pay well and help save the world. 
With each successive cabinet nomination, it becomes increasingly clear how much damage the incoming administration is going to inflict on government departments on which 330 million people depend to add various forms of value to their lives–justice, environmental safety, health, financial stability, education, etc. Albeit a disaster for our nation, and for the rest of humankind as well, I’ve often tried to poke fun at all this, because, if you discount the tragedy, it really is so absurd that it’s funny as the devil. 
Some might question the relevance of a post on other worlds. Don’t we have enough problems here on Earth? The tie-in is that humankind may, if it survives the current mismanagement of its environment, will someday need to export itself (along with, unfortunately, its insanities) onto other planets.
