The reason you’re reading this right now is that you, like me, feel the duty to change the world for the better; this is a core aspect of who we are as people, regardless of the size of the contribution we make.
We’re all familiar with the beautiful, self-empowering quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” (more…)
It comes as no surprise that California has the strictest clean air legislation in the U.S., culminating in our bill “SB 32” that recently passed the state assembly and is not on its way to the senate. Yet, as one can readily imagine, the oil companies are working feverishly to eviscerate the terms of SB 32 and destroy our clean air standards. (more…)
According to this article, the projected cost to our children associated with repairing the climate change-inflicted damage to our planet is $8.8 trillion, which works out to somewhere between $125K and $180K per child in lifetime earnings.
But not to worry. If elected, Donald Trump will remove all regulations on energy production, and provide $20 trillion in new jobs by renegotiating trade deals with China, in combination with other pieces of mumbo-jumbo.
The situation is completely under control. Believe me. 🙂
Here’s a story about a small town in Northern Alaska whose 650 citizens are currently voting whether or not to relocate, as the melting of the sea ice due to climate change is allowing the incoming waves to erode their land at an ever-increasing pace.
Now, my wife (pictured) has urged me not to write so many depressing posts, and, since I (almost) always do what she suggests, I need to find a positive spin to put on this. (more…)

For a majority of people, purchasing a house is one of the crucial moments in their life, a dream come true. It might be both lovely and an exhausting experience as it is undoubtedly a huge investment and it requires a large financial commitment. Moreover, It is necessary to take a number of factors into consideration and carry out an in-depth research during the process of home-buying. However, in order not to make terrible mistakes and regret it afterwards, it is always advisable to consult home inspectors. (more…)
I need to get a few of these.
Of course, I live in a hugely “God and country” town; the walls of the local diner are covered with pictures of John Wayne and Ronald Reagan; I kid you not. This may be a good way to get beaten up.
As reported several times earlier, numerous state attorneys general have begun to explore the role that ExxonMobil played in covering up the truth about (possibly irreversible) climate change.
I can already hear the comments rolling in about how this investigation is fanciful, unfair, misguided, etc. All I can say is: 1) If true (and it appears to be), this is by far the most egregious act of corporate criminality in the 2000+ year-old history of the laws and governance of corporations, and 2) As to whether this is fanciful, we’ll see.

Here’s an unusual twist on attacking climate change at the community level: make it happen at the community level, with lots of peer pressure, but in the complete absence of politicians.
It hasn’t been a great time for politicians, at least in the U.S., in a very long time (think Mark Twain). (more…)
It’s hardly news that Americans show a profound lack of interest in and respect for science, and that this is worrisome to everyone who understands the depths to which this has the capacity to take us.
