Science or Indoctrination?

Posted on July 31, 2018 by climatechangefork

Earlier this month (July 3rd and 10th) I wrote two blogs about a heat wave that was affecting my home of NYC and how it impacted me. The weather here now is lovely (around 85oF, with bearable humidity and no … Continue reading →

Heat Wave

Posted on July 3, 2018 by climatechangefork

My school’s academic year is over and the summer break has started in full swing. Usually I take this time for a vacation and some new research initiatives. It is not surprising that I have far more flexibility now than … Continue reading →

Vulnerabilities: Coral Reefs

Posted on June 26, 2018 by climatechangefork

In one of my earliest blogs (July 31, 2012), I talked a little bit about the start of my interest in man-made contributions to global climate change. Up until that time my main academic interest was focused on energy use. … Continue reading →

Ocean Health Issues – How Do We Measure Health?

Posted on June 5, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week’s blog was an introduction to the vulnerabilities that we face with the deterioration of our oceans. It paid particular attention to the recently published study of evidence associating the 4th mass extinction with ocean deoxygenation – which effectively … Continue reading →

Water Cycle Vulnerabilities

Posted on April 24, 2018 by climatechangefork

Happy belated Earth Day and Happy 6th Birthday to Climate Change Fork! I have repeatedly mentioned that global climate change is driven mainly by our interruption of the energy cycle. Specifically, we use fossil fuels as our main energy source … Continue reading →

If You Don’t Believe In Climate Change – Try It!

Posted on April 17, 2018 by climatechangefork

This blog is coming out three days after the March for Science and five days before Earth Day and my wife’s birthday. It’s a busy week. Climate change is an abstract issue. Its main impact is projected to take place … Continue reading →

Doomsday: Local Timelines

Posted on October 10, 2017 by climatechangefork

The last few blogs focused on the ultimate consequences of continuing to make “progress” by relentlessly using the physical environment to serve humanity as if it were as a limitless resource. I tried to make the case that such efforts … Continue reading →
