Retired chemist, educator, entrepreneur living in a remote rural community. My wife and stepchildren practice permaculture in our yards while I study climate, energy and sustainability options. I'm frustrated by societal behavior that ignores best science.

I celebrate political wins, yet caution that they won't last UNLESS they can stem the trends happening in climate.
Zack's many graphic posts point towards bigger storms, heat waves, and floods. Consequences will mount, leading to more deaths from crop failures, spread of tropical pests and diseases.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism.  #holdfast

The Government Unconstitutionally Labels ICE Observers as Domestic Terrorists
A free country must have an absolute wall of protection for those who record government actions.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.

ICE are guilty of cruelly; they brutally and unconstitutionally follow orders. They and those giving the orders lack a spiritual appreciation of Christmas... and many of the laws and traditions of the nation.
Except Mary, Jesus and Joseph were brown…

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

America needs an Attorney General who:
1) will read a law,
2) understand what she is reading, and
3) comply with it.

That doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it?

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

2025 will see the warmest Chirstmas on record in many parts of the U.S., with some areas of the Central US experiencing temperatures more than 40°F (22°C) above average.

The Climate 8-Ball is too busy reading some unredacted files to comment.

This is a lot of words to say that DOJ is in violation of the statutory deadline and will take even longer to produce records that were due last week.

The more you learn about ocean heat, salinity, density and currents, the more you realize how much you don't know.

Luckily physics doesn't change (much) with scale and small experiments like this can help us grasp the macro scale.

When an insurrectionist, along with his election deniers was elected, the constitution became null and void. They just do whatever they want without congressional approval. Trump even openly said he doesn't know if he has to uphold the constitution.

Good interview! Discussion of Moore's Law => AI infrastructure bubble. Better was Ossiana's description of AI Slop. Yes! Exactly right. AI is trainable, and American AI has a low threshold of factuality for what is fed into it. Thom is right. Anonymity is a license to lie - by bots & foreign gov'ts.

Arctic Sea Ice was again at a record low extent on Dec. 21, 2025. Antarctic Sea Ice was also at a near record low extent.
What lower ice formation now will mean by this summer is a concern for the heat waves we'll experience then - and into 2027.

A New Deal would be a necessary 1st step... as concluded by the HANDY Study. But there are so many other biophysical issues that won't wait. Ignoring the totality is a political trap for failure
... but people don't want to hear of biophysical constraints on top of the many financial ones in place.

A golden fleet of Trump-class battleships? then
"Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo observed that, these days, the political world around Trump “has a feeling of drift, spectacle and fragmentation. Trump’s ballroom epitomizes it—crass, stupid, vulgar, unacceptable and yet ultimately meaningless."
