A Climate Change Fact Sheet for the Pence/Trump Doublet

A Climate Change Fact Sheet for the Pence/Trump Doublet

by | Oct 9, 2020 |

This post is a climate science fact sheet especially designed for Pence and Trump. In both recent debates, each showed they either don’t or refuse to understand some very simple science of climate change. If they did, they could have helped the American people understand how global warming is affecting fires, rain, flooding, storms and drought. Many of us work with middle and high school students who know more about climate change, global warming, and air pollution than either Pence or Trump.

Trump, The Super Spreader, Released from Walter Reed

Trump, The Super Spreader, Released from Walter Reed

by | Oct 5, 2020 |

For 8 months Donald J. Trump, aka “the super spreader, lied about COVID 19. He ignored and dismissed the health advice of the country’s top infectious disease experts. He admitted playing down the serious nature of the disease. Meanwhile more than 1 million Americans are infected. Over 210,000 people have died. Now he has the disease. Or so we’ve been told. Trump’s behavior has been stupid, foolish, dumb, ludicrous, laughable, half-baked, inane, pointless, irrelevant. You name it.Trump has used the episode this week end as a campaign strategy to get reelected. I think he used the virus as a tool in his reelection campaign. Do you remember some months ago that he walked to a church across from the White House to hold up (upside down) a Bible. Finally, Did he go to the hospital to hold us up?

How RBG Made the Earth A Better Place

How RBG Made the Earth A Better Place

by | Oct 4, 2020 | ,

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG) had a profound affect on the world. Not only was she a Supreme Court Justice, but had attained the status of a “rock star.” Like John Lewis, Justice Ginsburg influenced our thinking about justice for all people. Each of these giants of American society believed in the rights for all people, regardless of race or gender. As a result, they did something about it. In this post, I want to explore how RBG affected environmental law. n particular, she was involved in hundreds of cases, and wrote the opinion—majority and dissenting—in many of them. Her case load is impressive. What might surprise you is that she had a lot to say about the environment. She was involved in some landmark cases affecting the Clean Air and the Clean Water Acts.

Raking Leaves Won’t Put Out California’s Fires

Climate change is the reality for the cause of the mega-fires in the West. Yet, the President thinks the cause is the lack of raking leaves. Science denialism has led to a colossal debacle in this country.

What’s Causing the Wildfires in the West?

by | Sep 14, 2020 | ,

I’ve wondered what is the main cause of wildfires raging in the West. Are the fires linked to climate change? What role do humans play in starting fires? Are there more fires this year than in the past? Why? Finally, the toll on human and other animal and plant life is immense.

Most U.S. Citizens Can Vote By Mail

Most of us can vote by mail. Nearly 75% of us can. We need to fight the voter suppressionists. As John Lewis reminds us: I have said this before, and I will say it again. The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy.

Georgia schools should not open. If they are open, they should close. A red line of at least 10% must be reached, but many say that a 5% test rate should be reached. Georgia’s rate of infection is 13%. Not the time to open schools.

Should Students Wear Masks at School?

Should Students Wear Masks at School?

by | Aug 7, 2020

Given the data presented in this post, the evidence supports not opening schools yet. Until we get the rate of spread down, and keep it there, we have no business sending kids into crowded school buildings. And, when and if we do, they all should be required to wear face coverings.
