The Santa Marta Conference – Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels – An energetic multi-nation well-organized effort to get off fossil fuels with the underlying motto: “Make Science Great Again” This article discusses this exciting new approach to hopefully mitigate climate change as well a discussion of the steep difficulty of overcoming the “monumental challenge” already extant. For example, it’s ironic that a major campaign to hopefully fix climate change (it’s finally happ

This article is based upon an analysis of a climate change black swan event currently spreading across America. As of April 28th, the U.S. Drought Monitor confirmed much of the country in various stages of drought with some regions in serious condition. The Plains States and entire Southeast are trapped in various stages of unending drought. The West is another story altogether, experiencing lost snowpack like never before in history. But the most haunting number is the Palme

The world is its hottest in modern human history (circa 1500-present). Yet, fossil fuel CO2 emissions continue unabated, effectively creating an artificial blanket that retains heat. Despite decarbonization efforts, emissions continue to rise, driven by increasing energy demand and fossil fuel use. According to NOAA, over the past 60 years, carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased 100-200 times faster than it did during the end of the last ice age. In essence, CO

Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels and industry totaled 38.11 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) in 2025, hitting a record high, versus 25.51 GtCO2 in 2000. Moreover, the rate of global warming more than doubled for the first time in human history, in only one decade. Scientists are stunned: The Rate of Global Warming has Accelerated More in the Past Decade Than Ever Before, LiveScience, d/d March 7, 2026. According to NASA , 97% of publishing scientists in t

Global warming is on a very ominous trend that has never happened throughout human history, according to a recent study in Geophysical Research Letters. The rate of global warming has doubled in only ten years. This rapid rate, outside of the influence of nature alone, should be unsustainable for any mass the size of Earth. However, if it is sustainable, danger signals today will be catastrophic results tomorrow. Indeed, new discoveries in the Antarctic region are cause for c

Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, and University of Chicago scientists founded the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1945. The famous Doomsday Clock was created two years later and reset every year by the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board in consultation with the Board of Sponsors, including eight Nobel laureates. Manhattan Project scientists felt obligated to educate the public about the catastrophic implications of nuclear weapons, especially after US bombings of

Climate science, over the past few decades, especially since the turn of the new century, has increasingly identified trouble spots with ecosystems that support life on Earth. These crucial ecosystems are stressed. But not many of the scientific reports of the past couple of decades compares to a bone-chilling new study of massive ocean heat accumulation in the year 2025, published January 14 th , 2026, ScienceDaily: The Ocean Absorbed a Stunning Amount of Heat in 2025.

If you don’t yet know the name Greta Thunberg, you need to! She spoke yet again at the September 2019 UN meeting in New York, giving the best four-minute wake-up call there is! Even though change is happening right before our eyes,‘The Guardian’ and so many others in the media say that somehow these changes climax “. . .by the year 2100.”However these major climate-related catastrophes are accelerating exponentially! ! ! A third of Himalayan Ice Cap doomed! Everything is pu

To eat or not to eat, that is the question, whether ‘tis nobler, in the mind, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune [Shakespeare’s Hamlet ‘To be or not to be‘ ]. . .or to consume animal flesh willy-nilly without considering the repercussions for sustainable life on Earth. We could be as smart as Albert Einstein, who said in a personal letter of December 1930“Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (an agency that is subject to drastic cuts in Trump’s FY2026 budget) from October 2024 to September 2025 temperatures across the entire Arctic region were the hottest in 125 years of modern record keeping. As of year-end, the status of the Arctic and Greenland present the world with a nerve-racking knuckle-biting dilemma, as apparently, according to climate scientists, they’re coming apart at the seams. Meanwhil

The Trump administration has issued a death warrant for science. This kills one of America’s greatest most productive avenues to GDP growth. Simple-minded people are determining the future course of the country. After all, science is foundational to America’s economy. This legacy for America is destined to be the antithesis of what’s found in the writings of Marcus Aurelius’ world-famous notebooks, filled with words of wisdom about leading an honorable life, Meditations , on
