A Guide to my Stack.

001 – Greenland Melting and Sea Level Rise.

002 – People don’t realize how bad the “Climate Situation” has become. The Majority of Scientists predict +3C of warming by 2100.

003 - How much has the Earth warmed up since the “preindustrial” period? Surprisingly it’s hard to get a straightforward answer to that question. The “politics’ of +1.2C.

004 - How 1.2C became "the number" for the amount the Earth has warmed.

005 - Global Warming accelerated between 2010 and 2020. Do you know the current “rate of warming” for Global Warming? You should, that number is the NUMBER that controls what the rest of your life is going to be like.

006 - Heat doesn't "just happen". Where it’s coming from, and why that matters to all of us. Part One.

007 – Heat doesn't "just happen". Where it’s coming from, and why that matters to all of us. Part Two. The Earth's Albedo has dimmed since the 90's. In the clinical language of science, this is an "unexpected feedback".

008 – Heat doesn't "just happen". Where it’s coming from, and why that matters to all of us. Part Three. Additional notes on Albedo Diminishment. I’m actually being “conservative” when I tell you that things are bad.

009 - Heat doesn't "just happen". Where it’s coming from, and why that matters to all of us. Part Four. We know from the Earthshine Project, and the NASA CERES observations, that the Earth's Albedo has dimmed. The question is, "why"?

010 - Most people don't think about clouds very much. They should.

011 – Forecast for 2023. Enjoy today. The rest of the year, the forecast is for HEAT.

012 – Things are coming to a head. A snapshot of the Climate Crisis and introducing myself.

013 – Looking at the Climate System from a different perspective, we have been monumentally stupid. The paleoclimate data tells us that the Climate System “front loads” warming.

014 – China and the US are moving towards a Showdown. Why? What’s driving the Evolving Conflict.

015 – Our World is Rapidly Warming. This has Consequences. The Crisis of the Anthroposphere. Part One.

016 – The Crisis of the Anthroposphere. We live in the "Anthrosphere". Like the Biosphere it is in CRISIS.

017 - "Rapid Climate Intervention" is the new code for Geoengineering the Climate. Using dust from the Moon to slow the effects of climate change.

017b - Re: Chinese Weather Balloons. We are at war with China. Even if no one is saying it out loud.

018 – The Crisis of the Anthroposphere. Part Three.

019 – The US is at war with China. Even if no one is saying it out loud.

001 - The Archeotourist.

Visiting the Yucatan, Homeland of the Northern Lowland Maya. Cancun is one of the busiest tourist destinations in the world. People come for the beaches and sun. The Yucatan Peninsula also has incredible archeology.

002 - The Archeotourist.

The Roads of the Maya. The Maya built a road network that rivals the Romans. In the Yucatan it's only visible in a few places. It was HUGE.

020 – It’s not “crazy” to think that people who have access to privileged information will generally not tell you all they know. It happens all the time.

021 – The Ukraine War is one year old. China is expected to announce a Peace Plan. Here’s what the Climate is doing.

022 – The Climate Crisis has arrived. We are moving too slowly. We need a global plan but are responding in a piecemeal fashion.

023 – A Climate Change version of the “Daisy Ad”. Yes, that’s a political reference.

024 – Part of the reason the Chinese see us as “weak” is that we are. American politics in Black and White.

025 – Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. You wouldn't know it from watching the Oscars tonight.

026 – The Third American Civil War is getting hotter. The Trumpublican States push to ban "Abortion Pills" nationally, signals their endgame strategy.

027 – The IPCC released yet another report today. The IPCC AR6 synthesis report or “Summary for Policymakers”. Let's discuss it.

028 – Let’s talk about “Climate Science”. A look at its history and culture.

029 – Thinking about Culture and Information Transmission. Most of what you “know” is incorrect or outdated. That has implications. The parable of “Clovis Culture”.

030 – On the TikTok Panic

003 - The Archeotourist.

The Ballgame (Pok-ta-pok) and the Maya. (Part One)

004 - The Archeotourist.

The Ballgame (Pok-ta-pok) and the Maya. (Part Two)

031 – If you suggest that the war in Ukraine is related to Climate Change, people tell you Putin doesn’t care about “Climate Change”. People are idiots.

032 – Humanity forms coral reef like environments called “cities”. We are about to have a “bleaching” event.

033 – I am predicting that the next few years are going to be disastrously HOT. That doesn't make me a "Doomer". It makes me realistic about what's happening with the Climate System.

034 – Tipping points, knock-on effects, and unexpected consequences. They are happening all around us now as the Climate Crisis ACCELERATES. People still haven’t realized how bad the Climate Crisis really is.

035 – Things you don’t think about are things you forget. Memories that become more and more distant and unreal. Memories that you will eventually forget that you ever had. Stories that will die, untold. Cultural Memory is also about stories. The American Revolution.

036 - The World’s Forests are Burning, Ecosystem Turnover is the Cause. Let’s All be Really Clear on What that Means.

037 - Anthropogenic Particulate is a form of Geoengineering. We have been geoengineering the Earth's Climate for awhile. Part One

041 - The Climate Crisis is here, right now. Dealing with it should be the ONLY issue on everyone’s mind. Because we are out of time. - Discussing Climate Sensitivity.

042 - The time has come the Walrus said to talk of many things. In this case, let’s talk about “HEAT”.

043 - More evidence is accumulating that our Climate Sensitivity models are off.

044 - The fight over the Debt Ceiling. It's not about "the budget". I think the Republicans are going to force a default on the National Debt. I don’t think they are going to budge from their position. Because, they aren’t looking at a default, or “14th Amendment” last minute save by Biden, as losing.

They don’t care if things get worse. They want things to get worse. They are making ENDGAME moves.

045 - No, I cannot “remember that we are all Americans and just be friends”. Because, one side is acting like it wants a fight. And that’s too dangerous to ignore.

046 - What went wrong. A Climate Paradigm Postmortem, or "How the Fossil Fuel Industry, the Republicans, and the Climate Science Moderates of the 80's stole the rest of your life"

047 - What went wrong. A Climate Paradigm Postmortem. Part Two, Understanding our Current Climate Paradigm. Where it came from and why it gained ascendancy.

71 - Short Take #2. It's the "Doomer's Fault". We begin to see how the Western Democracies are going to respond to the Climate Crisis. (04/28/24)

72 - Sea Surface Temperatures still haven’t dropped below 2023 levels. As you might expect. This is NOT “Good News”. (05/03/24)

73 - You REALLY need to think about CLOUDS. Clouds in the present-day climate system cover approximately two-thirds of the globe. We may have REALLY fucked up. (05/11/24)

93 - Let’s be CLEAR about what “Mainstream” Climate Science actually says. (Part Three) Conclusion. Feedbacks and System Stability.

94 - It’s looking like each "CO2 Doubling” causes +8°C of warming. The 1st doubling was +180ppm to +360ppm. That takes us to +2°C. The NEXT doubling to +720ppm takes us to +10°C. Hansen puts us at +520ppm(e) right now.

95 - Recent readings and two narratives. The Earth is rapidly WARMING now. There are two views as to “why”. WHO should you believe?

96 - We came to a fork in the road and voted on which track to follow. Although few know it, the majority voted for COLLAPSE. “In War, timing is everything”. — Napoleon

97 - The weirdness of the time we live in. I got reviewed by an AI on Reddit. Someone asked an AI if my articles were believable.
