I have to admit that while not overly concerned (because I knew it would not make much difference in the long run), the slow build of Arctic sea ice this year did prove cause for me to check its status more frequently than other recent years. I need not have done that, because 2025 has... Continue Reading →
“Everything we’ve been told about climate change and food security is wrong.” – New Report
I have been saying this for around 18 months now. It is a complete tragedy. A crime of massive proportions even. A crime of greater proportions even than the equally tragic COVID farce. Somebody must pay. Perhaps a lot of somebodies - for telling lies. Lies that have almost turned our world into a dead... Continue Reading →
On a Roll With Climate
After the, for me, welcome story I finished and published late last night, I read this this morning... 'Scientists match Earth's ice age cycles with orbital shifts' - by University of California - Santa Barbara - Phys.org - Feb 27, 2025 This is actually quite a breakthrough of some importance and confirms to some extent both...

Don’t Be Misled By Current Climate Extremes
It is to be entirely expected that there would be a few wildfires here and there across the nominally Temperate regions of the world, in season or out of season. I expect there are also instances of serious flooding, unusually heavy storm activity. Perhaps even volcanic or earthquake disruptive outbreaks as well as strong winds.... Continue Reading →

The Mad Scientists At AMEG Are At It Again

That has now changed.On April 12 I posted this on Facebook:Well, it... Continue Reading →
Can a collapse of global civilization be avoided?
Well, can it? Good Question. I have been saying for some time now, here on this blog and elsewhere, that we are headed for a collapse of civilisation, globally, the like of which has never before been witnessed on this planet. At least, unseen during the 200,000 odd years, perhaps longer, that we or beings... Continue Reading →
Electricity Consumption
Here is a picture of my household electricity consumption over the last two years, extracted from my most recent utility bill. This represents my total power usage since there is no gas installed at the property. Please note that I post this merely to show that it is possible in these times of soaring energy...

Point of No Return
This post highlights the new Greenpeace report of the same name. A worthy document giving a comprehensive account of the dangers to our way of life from known planned expansions of the fossil fuel industry through increased CO2 emissions by 2020. Just seven short years away. How old will you be in 2020? While the report is... Continue Reading →
