Voting for the Environment
Human-driven global warming has long been a divisive issue in the U.S., thanks in part to decades of polarizing messaging from industry, political figures and others. As the world experiences extreme heat and other climate change-driven events with increasing frequency, people’s views on what’s happening still vary widely, but they are changing. The political […]
COP28 will be (at best) a “try”
After “may the force be with you”, this is my favorite quote from Star Wars. A level up from calling someone “all talk, no action”. COP28 will start the last day of November. As if to telegraph how uncommitted to meaningful action it will be, it’s being held in Dubai in […]

Hieroglyphic Stairway – my great, great grandchildren won’t let me sleep
It says above that I authored this. I did not… just found this poem and posted it. I’ve embedded the transcript below, but I think you’ll enjoy this video of the author reciting it more (you may need to click the replay button at the bottom left of the YouTube screen). Hieroglyphic Stairway by […]
A Clear and Present Danger
To many, my desk is a cluttered mess or a jigsaw puzzle of disconnected pieces that can never be assembled into a coherent picture. To me, my desk is a highly organized panorama of easily accessible tools of my craft interspersed with remembrances and waypoints of travels, adventures, people, places, joys, sorrows, hopes, philosophies, beliefs […]
Resetting the Realities of Our Climate Crisis
Reality, and one’s perception of reality, can change with a single event. An example would be the “earth rise “ photo taken by NASA astronauts in 1968. Though we knew that the earth was round, it was not until that photo that we saw it as a round planet in space. Another might be […]
