Good thing we’re working hard to fix that, right?
Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, leading scientists warn
Drill, baby, drill. Your kids and grand-kids will thank you.

Getting Rid of FEMA
This is a good way to disguise that Trump has been using FEMA funds to pay for his frequent golf outings. It isn’t like states are going to have any more drastic disasters. Right? Just a waste.
Trump says he plans to phase out FEMA after 2025 hurricane season
Maybe he’ll declare that he “fixed” hurricanes.
The Planet is on Fire
Climate change is going to cost A LOT. This year is predicted to have record temperatures. Guess what year is the current record holder? That would be last year. Second place goes to 2023, third to 2022 and so on. The longer we wait to deal with this, the longer we stall, the more it will cost our kids.
Summer 2025 forecast calls for ‘overwhelmingly above normal’ heat starting in June
Consequences
More than 90 wildfires are out of control in Canada
Why Don’t We Have Enough Salt?
Turns out mining more is hard to do. Note as well, a man just died in an accident at the Cargill mine.
Holding Back the Sahara
Last year, while teaching the “Science and Sustainability” class. I learned about this project, and how effective it is. Heck, if beavers can shape all of North America, humans can do much more.
This is Why Fighting Climate Change is Good Fiscal Policy
I am always amazed by the lack of logic from those who deny climate change. I have watched friends change their stance from “I don’t believe climate change is occurring” to, “Well maybe, but we can’t be sure it is caused by humans” to the current, “Well China and India aren’t doing anything about it why should we?” This last comment has become popular as China overtook our country on EV (electric vehicle) and Solar Panel production. We now have a 100% tariff on Chinese EV’s because China can make a pretty good EV for about $12,000 U.S.! Can you imagine what a $12,000 car could do to the U.S. car market? Poor folks could almost afford a new car.
My point is that as we delay, the problem grows worse and we lose any ability to offset the cost of fixing it by providing the technology to do so. Soon we will be forced to buy that technology from China. So before Trump tries to abolish all climate research to avoid those pesky facts, please enjoy this latest report from the good people at USGS (United States Geologic Survey).
14 Million Americans May Sink Within 76 Years
BTW, That estimate is $1 trillion in damages by the end of the century, just for the southeastern coast.
Oh, and for those who wonder why I post so many Yahoo links it is because they have less advertising than the websites the stories come from.
Why Are People Hating on Weather Forecasters?
Gee, I wonder what caused all this?…
Storm forecasts have never been more accurate. Meteorologists have never faced so much pushback.
Florida is Going to Get Hit Again
The latest…
Hurricane Milton strengthens to Category 5 as it approaches Florida: Live updates
Currently no seems sure whether Milton will make landfall as a Cat 3 or Cat 4. Current tracks as of 11:00 pm Eastern say the eye should hit south of Tampa. This is Florida’s second hurricane in a month. How much longer will America tolerate leaders who doubt Climate Change?
A Green Antarctica
Well this is not good news. Hope you like hurricanes like Helene, and droughts, and floods, and wildfires. Oh, and if you live in Florida, move now.
Probably a good idea to see how political candidates feel about this before you vote.
The Hottest Day Ever Recorded
was yesterday. Beating the previous record holder, the day before yesterday. How long will we keep electing fools who ignore the coming disaster? Hope you like higher food prices for a start.
Monday breaks the record for the hottest day ever on Earth
A movie opened last week called “Fly Me to the Moon”. It is a fictional tale set around the first American moon landing. It portrays a possibility of NASA faking the landing. I sincerely hope everyone associated with this garbage loses their careers. We already have 1 in 8 Americans who think we didn’t land on the moon, one of our country’s proudest achievements. Sadly, America’s once proud association with science and reason seems to have vanished.
