How Far Should You Live From A Road To Avoid Pollution?
 |
A seemingly rarely talked about problem is pollution from cars and trucks affecting commuters and people who live and work near major roadways. There are many publications on this, but I could not find one that aggregated information cleanly so I put this together. Read More... |

Why Don't I Notice Global Warming?

We still have winter and summer. Why do I keep hearing that the Earth is warming if it's still getting cold and I can't tell that it's warming? Read More... |

Can Carbon Engineering's Plants Remove Enough CO2 To Solve Global Warming?
 |
I know they aren't claiming they can, but I've seen this hyped a lot and wanted to run the numbers to get an idea of how feasible it is. Read More... |

Visualizing A Heat Wave - 2003 Europe

Visualize How Much Carbon And CO2 Humans Emit
 |
It's hard to picture exactly how much carbon we emit. One decent way to do it is to relate it to the carbon in forests. Read More... |

Increased CO2 Levels Negatively Affect Our Brains
 |
Something that isn't often discussed is the non-greenhouse impacts of increasing atmospheric CO2. One of those is that increased CO2 levels affect human cognition, so I've summarized some of the research here. Read More... |

Pro-Coal And Pro-Life Are Incompatible Positions
 |
An interesting situation exists in the US. The pro-life and pro-coal factions are both part of the GOP. I understand that we only have two parties at the national level in the US so you have to pick the one that you most align with, but the GOP should drop its pro-coal stance if it wants to keep its pro-life stance.

Can We Stop Global Warming?
 |
There are a massive number of articles out there about global warming and the Paris agreement. The goal was to stay under 1.5 degrees of warming and our absolute limit was 2.0 degrees of warming. I rarely, if ever, see articles that talk about the feasibility of any of this though, and I figured I'd write my blunt assessment. Read More... |
