Energy Schizophrenia

Looking around the American landscape for any sense of normal behavior is a fatuous exercise at best. You can be certain, however, that the once great experiment in self-governance has succumbed to an autoimmune disease which cripples the victim by eroding their ability to think logically while paying attention to what is happening, and not […]

The Perfect Correlation

They boldly pointed out that current climate models exaggerate greenhouse warming. In other words, they confirmed what climate skeptics have been arguing all along: that most computer climate models forecast unrealistic warming — […]

Statues are being destroyed and disappeared.  Names and faces are being erased from the pages of history. Now they are coming for bird names. Will the […]

The Reality of Meatless

Getting into a discussion about the pros and cons of a vegan or vegetarian “lifestyle” as a way to save the planet generally  turns into a fatuous exchange of beliefs.  Homo sapiens, by their biological makeup are omnivores, i.e, they evolved to consume  diverse sources of nutrients.
