100 Days

 Today marks 100 Days of Trump's Presidency.  To mark the occasion, he held a cabinet meeting at The White House to discuss successes in that time.  He has definitely been working at a pace which bodes well for the rest of his presidency. During this term in office, we will witness the Return of Jesus Christ!  May America and the wider world be prepared!

Beyond Blue Sky 2025 - Chapter 10 - Conclusion

We are, truly, in a Climate Emergency. As outlined throughout this book, unless bold action is taken to change the economic system, we may face a long-drawn-out equivalent of the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago - and certainly the worst set of circumstances since The Flood in Noah's Time.  There are real problems ahead: fire, flooding, and loss of entire cities; drought; hundreds of millions of migrants; ocean acidification; increased disease; significant food shortages; and, probably, WW3.

In concluding, Urry noted that, without planning, none of the above scenarios were certain since each entailed vulnerabilities and risks to human life.. Each scenario must be treated with a healthy degree of...
