Today we celebrate women and girls around the world.  If we could do one thing positive, in my mind it would be to eliminate deaths from breast cancer within the next decade.

..needs to be completely rewritten for a world where trade is diminished.   Not only is this required to predict the future from tariffs coming out of the United States, but it also makes sense to roll back globalism which is at odds with protecting the environment.  I will start my research tomorrow, 9 March 2025!

Live life abundantly!  (John 10:10). What To Do About Climate Change? The fundamental problem is that carbon emissions are so inexorably linked to economic activity (IT, housing, agriculture, manufacturing, and transport) that reducing them and operating a 'green' economy is no small task.  Thinking negatively, economy derailment could be the solution - although to be positive the focus should be a major change along the continuum of slowing, stabilizing, and reducing CO2 emissions within a fully functioning economy, which runs counter to many environmentalists' thinking.  However, we definitely need a new economy based on a clean-energy future. We are, truly, in a Climate Emergency.  As outlined throughout, unless bold action is taken to change the economic system while carbon budgets allow, we may well be facing 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 i...

Dangerous Climate Change Based on the best available scientific evidence, it is clear that increases in CO2, and other greenhouse gases in CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent), which constitute F in the Kaya Identity (see earlier), result in temperature elevation.  The relationship between the two is known as climate sensitivity.  It is accepted by most scientists that a CO2 doubling (from pre-industrial 280ppm to 550ppm) will probably lead to a roughly 3C temperature rise.  The IPCC calculated a range of 1.5C and 4.5C depending on the emission scenario.  Unfortunately, this is far from exact since fossil records estimate that climate sensitivity could be as high as 6C (Hansen). Are temperature increases dangerous? The overriding consensus is a resounding yes.  There is no question that biomes, including pathogenic species, would survive and even proliferate.  The concern is that widespread ecosystem collapse would occur specifically concerning biomes on which ...

Trump's tariffs are all SET to go into EFFECT at midnight.  A strong leader, he is sticking to his resolve.

We - I, am now in Economic Lockdown for the rest of 2025.  At midnight, Eastern Time (ET) , the US will an extra 10% tariffs on Imports from China, as well 25% on Canada and Mexico.

Trump is right.  Zelensky is gambling with WW3 by bringing ever-increasing troops and weaponry from foreign powers into his homeland, Ukraine, to fight Russia. It is time to cede peace and give up control of the ethnic Russian Eastern Region and Crimea to Russia.  Under no circumstances should the United States put troops on the ground and risk further escalating the war.  For that matter, neither should the UK. Zelensky finds himself in hot water after Friday's disastrous meeting with Trump at The Oval Office. It is now time for Zelensky to step down with fresh efforts made by Kyiv to negotiate peace. There is a role for European powers, in particular the UK and France, to play in diplomacy between West and East.  However, Germany should be kept out of the loop with its invariable talk of creating a pan-European army. 

For many years, I have supported electric cars. I argued that we need to transition from petrol and diesel combustion engines to electric ones before eventually making a final switch to hydrogen in the 2040s. However, some problems seem to be surfacing with the electric roll-out, particularly around battery life.  It would now seem prudent to keep a backup of petrol and diesel engines in some parts of the world since these are known to work.  The areas would have to be limited as they emit large amounts of CO2.  Elsewhere, efforts should now be made to advance towards a hydrogen economy. Think of the PlanET!
