Fossil Fuel Subsidies are the Wrong Tool

September 18, 2017 by Rudy Sovinee 2 Comments

Fossil Fuel Subsidies are the Wrong Tool

Fossil fuel subsidies cause more use of materials that warm the planet. We need to STOP giving extra money to fossil fuel companies as tax breaks and outright subsidies! These policies encourage greater usage and worsen our planetary environment. Many nations provide subsidies in the name of helping … [Read more...]

Carbon Fee & Dividend Beats Carbon Tax

Carbon Fee & Dividend Beats Carbon Tax

James Hansen and others talk of a CARBON FEE AND DIVIDEND (making a carbon tax revenue neutral.) Its very granular cost aspects gives every manager and family a real incentive to transition off fossil fuels. While he and others have spoken of the process, I've never seen or heard these plans … [Read more...]

Translation, the Earth will warm faster and it will be warmer when it finally reaches a new state of balance between energy received from the sun, and energy radiated back out … [Read more...]

Climate Change & Food Security

Human civilization has grown and prospered during a 10,000 yr period of remarkably stable climatic patterns. Different cultures have adapted to specialize in certain foods largely because different places have had conditions that favor one crop or another. Small Shifts Have Consequences In our … [Read more...]

Our Planetary Energy Surplus this Millenium


90% of the accumulated heat is stored in the oceans, raising the humidity, powering stronger hurricanes and typhoons, making more torrential the rains that happen as well as warmth intensifying the dryness where rains are not occurring. We see it as "Extreme Weather."

Stability is Step #1, Can we remove CO2 before consequences lock in?

Atmospheric CO2
Earth has gained 80ppm in 50 years. EVERY increase means the insulation blanket of our atmosphere has increased. The energy of the sun will warm us more quickly, and the eventual equilibrium temperature will be higher.

Recent years have seen a leveling off of human emissions, but the growth in CO2 concentrations is accelerating. How? Why? Evidence points to planetary amplification of what humans have started. Humans need to reverse course before these amplifications gain momentum and take away any chance of maintaining an inhabitable planet.

Climate Change Updates:

Scientific evidence mounts that human society is pushing the planet into conditions not experienced since before we were anatomically "humans." Posts delving into the unfolding science explaining what is causing Earth to warm, Climate Change and the consequences of Human Conflict are added here as updates to the initial statements I offered directly related to the school program.
