Because apparently we can't have a website anymore without a blog


The blah-blah-blog

Actually, I post a lot of information related to climate change almost daily elsewhere. But, as time permits, I'm going to put the esoterica I encounter related to climate change here rather than trying to update the various pages. So this will be reverse in chronological rather than logically organized within the structure of the rest of this website. Please don't rely on this as a consistent and current source for climate change information updates. Sadly, we cannot rely on our corporate-controlled mass media for good information on this. I update this site on my own time, and making a living has to take priority.
Past blog pages: May 2019 June 2019 July 2019 August 2019 September 2019 October 2019 November 2019 December 2019 January 2020 February 2020 March 2020


2020.04.21 - National (Canada) emissions numbers underscore need to invest in clean economy (Pembina Institute)

2020.04.21 - Soon the North Pole Will Be Ice Free in Summer (SciTechDaily)

2020.04.17 - Austria's last coal power plant shuts down (pv magazine international)

2020.04.08 - Ontario suspends environmental oversight rules, citing COVID-19 (National Observer)

The Ontario government just chose - again - to use the COVID-19 health emergency to hammer home its neo-liberal economic agenda. This time it's the removal of ALL environmental oversight rules. Period. Not in any way limited to COVID-19-related issues. The Ontario NDP opposition abdicated its role by totally caving in on this.

2020.04.07 - Fossil Fuels Add to World’s Marine Dead Zones (EcoWatch)

2020.04.07 - Crops could face double trouble from insects and a warming climate (The Conversation)

2020.04.06 - Qatargas using boil-off gas to unload LNG, starting in Japan (S&P Global)

2020.04.04 - Addressing climate change in a post-pandemic world (McKinsey)

2020.04.04 - Heartland Institute Warns Renewables Will Damage The Environment & Harm People — Junk Science For Pollution (CleanTechnica)

2020.04.03 - Germany Exceeds 50% Renewable Energy Use Milestone (EcoWatch)

Just a reminder that this is the reason the fossil-fuel industries are dying - because zero-GHG renewable energy is now cheaper than subsidized fossil fuels. Not because we want cleaner air and water or a survivable planet. Because renewables are less expensive than toxic, carcinogenic, GHG-emitting fossil fuels. It's not about COVID-19. The oil industry was going off a cliff before COVID-19 became a factor in Europe and North America, because driving an electric car costs less - today - with lower gasoline prices due to COVID-19 and the Russia-Saudi price war - than a gasoline or diesel car. Big electric trucks and ships are coming. Airliners can run on bio-jet-fuel. The current Russia-Saudi price war isn't a cause of the collapsing oil industry, it's a result of the collapsing oil industry. Coal's all but finished. Oil's in huge trouble despite massive taxpayer subsidies. Natural gas demand is evaporating in the face of renewables and increased energy efficiency. Dominoes.

2020.04.03 - Oceans' capacity to absorb CO2 overestimated, study suggests (The Guardian)

You can find many earlier postings (going back to year 2000) related to climate change at:
Keith's List Archive and
the Sustainable Biofuel List Mail Archive.
