Neil de Grasse Tyson and U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert On the Solar Eclipse, Geoengineering
Speaking on a televised interview show featuring Neil de Grasse Tyson, Texas Republican U.S. representative Louie Gohmert commented on the recent solar eclipse, asserting that it is the changes in the moon’s orbit around the Earth, and the Earth’s orbit …
Bold Actions Can Have Unintended Consequences
It’s the Ides of March, the date in 44 BCE on which Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the building that housed a meeting of the Roman Senate. A conspiracy of men called the Liberators had been plotting his …

America At a Crossroads
Most Americans are unaware that the U.S. is the only country on Earth in which there exists a debate among its political elites as to the validity of the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Elsewhere, climate change is simply accepted …

Quick Conversation with Senior Energy Analyst Glenn Doty
In response to my posts on geoengineering and climate change mitigation more generally, Glenn Doty writes: There are many mitigation strategies that we agree will clearly pass the “cost effectiveness” test – insofar that investing in them will result in …

Geoengineering Is Something No One Wants To See, But….
No one with any sense wants to see our civilization rush into aggressive geoengineering. Yes, the planet is warming; yes, human activity is largely the cause; yes, the consequences of this warming are becoming ever more costly to life and …

Solar Radiation Management Program
Here’s a conversation from Facebook on California’s new building code, mandating that all new construction come along with solar PV on the roof. Jayn Edmonds begins with this sarcastic remark: How will that work with the ongoing Solar Radiation Management Program?
Can't Plants Sequester Our CO2 Emissions? — "Take a Cool Guess"
Contrary to popular belief, plants represent a net zero in terms of capturing CO2. While they’re alive, they convert carbon dioxide to sugar, but after they die, those more complex, higher-energy molecules break down and that carbon is re-released into …
