This post presents a number of the links I have recently encountered, articles I think are important in speaking truth to what I perceive. And as usual, I am hesitant to post them — it is so easy to be overloaded with too much information these days.
I find also that the climate conversations are evolving. I attended a webinar a few nights ago by Smart Politics (https://www.joinsmart.org/) — overall I was impressed. It is American, based mainly in California (I think), and presented a good process for engaging, followed by a good discussion — certainly I would recommend to anyone in the States. It is different from yet similar to the process I will be leading with the Suzuki Elders at the end of this month (Climate Change Conversations: How To Have Them Without Everyone Walking Out Of The Room, Vancouver, 20190228).
On the positive side —
The Transformative Power of Climate Truth (20190204)
An excellent summary of the power of speaking the truth, especially in the nature of climate disruption. As readers of this blog will know, I am an advocate of The Climate Mobilization; momentum for this organization and its partners is evolving.
Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal Is a Product of Youth Uprising (20190208)
The need for major overhaul of the political situation is being recognized. Perhaps it is the beginning of transformation of capitalism and neoliberalism. Perhaps. Will we do so in time to avert disaster?
On the other side —
When Europeans Colonized the Americas, They Killed So Many That the Earth’s Climate Cooled (20190203)
A fascinating interplay between colonialism and global warming. Sad.
There’s a Big Hole in the World’s Most Important Glacier. Yes, It’s a Problem. (20190205)
As usual, things are worse than we thought.
The World Is on the Brink of Widespread Water Wars (20190211)
Another way in which things are worse. We are so close to collapse. As noted above, will we create a new cultural process in time to make a difference?
Plummeting insect numbers ‘threaten collapse of nature’ (20190211)
Yet another. What else can I say?
Predominantly neutral (is anything neutral in this theme?) —
How the greenwashing campaign works (20190212)
How can we measure the climate risk of methane gas emissions- (20190212)
What the methane industry doesn’t want you—or lawmakers—to know (20190212)
This series of articles on methane, the principle component of natural gas, speaks to the complexity of assessing data as well as the interpretation of data, some of which is almost certainly disinformation.

Everyone struggles with ghosts, usually the residue of our childhood or other significant emotional traumas. These are resolvable — if we will do the work. In my case, the ghost has been the disappointments wherein I have attempted to promote myself, either
In this post, I am going to outline briefly the skills necessary so as to live fully; subsequent post (chapters of the future book) will develop the nature of these skills and the means of acquiring them. Initially, the discussions will be
For simplicity, I have decided to entitle any future posts related to this book The Search To Be Fully Alive as The Search # – Chapter n #. These may change over time but for now provide consistency. Ideally, there will be about two posts
On my last post, I noted my intention to write a third book (beside my first two, see previous) entitled The Search To Be Fully Alive: The What and The How. This choice came about for two main reasons: I was seeking to
