Are Schools and Media to Blame for Children’s Climate-change Neuroses?

By /

The Independent reported March 3 that “a growing number of children are being affected by eco-anxiety—concern about ecological disasters.” Question: Do you suppose there is any connection between what school children are being taught in the classroom and may see on broadcast “news” all over the world—if they take time to pay attention—and their states of […]

Which Is the Greater Threat to San Diego? Climate Change, or Earthquake?

By /

The Los Angeles Times manages to take its usual, circuitous way around to tell us its grim story, but in the end has made my point that natural cataclysmic events like plagues, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms and rare unscheduled visits by a celestial object present a far greater, and over time, a more real and present danger

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blames Global Warming for Wildfires

By /

“CALIFORNIA BURNING” Better pour yourselves another cup of decaf, before you read this, California. AOC wouldn’t recognize climate change if it were staring her straight in the face. The real cause underlying California’s annual spate of fires is the dearth of workable forestry management practices in Sacramento. That is added to the failure of local government

Under-reported tropical storm Imelda nevertheless makes herself known to residents of southeastern Texas.

By /

Tropical Depression Imelda is not receiving the extensive media attention she deserves, ostensibly because it did not come ashore with hurricane force winds, and not even as a tropical storm, but as a sprawling tropical depression accompanied by vast amounts of moisture. Still, the damage from the flooding inflicted by its 35-40 inches of rain that
