A year ago I published an assessment of a quite remarkably bad, non-peer-reviewed paper by one of the Geological Survey of Finland’s (GTK) associate professors, Simon Michaux. The paper’s quite risible conclusions were that there wasn’t nearly enough metal in the ground to be able to electrify everything with renewables. … [continued]

Over the past ten years, the number of fatalities from these catastrophes has doubled. Climate change, warming surface water temperatures, and more aggressive hurricanes making their way up … [continued]

My mother would say we’re in a “mess.” It’s very difficult to have climate conversations right now, with so many climate deniers and fossil fuel shills preening at the daily news about Trump 2.0. Yet climate activists have shaken themselves off and come back to the forefront, ready to advocate … [continued]

Sails on ships are a romantic and idealized vision of the world. Our history as a species includes innumerable tiny vessels pushed by wind across great expanses of featureless ocean, bold explorers and traders risking all on the science of sextants and the vagaries of the weather. But in recent … [continued]
