Global Warming: What Can I Do?
January 9th, 2013 · 1 Comment
This guest post comes from Mokurai. Buying a compact fluorescent light will not solve Global Warming by itself. Do it anyway. It is an essential component in the grand strategy by which we build ourselves into the foundations of a mass movement, constructed piece by piece, to the point where our opposition cannot resist us, and […]

January 7th, 2013 · Comments Off on New Yorkers & Californians have rights all Americans should have when it comes to solar power
The investment world is, well, truly a mess. To raise funds in the truly open market, companies have to have huge (HUGE) amounts of resources invested in lawyers, paperwork, and otherwise. This is important to reduce the chance for outright fraud (pyramid schemes) like in the 1000s of ‘make a million off this penny stock’ […]

Climate Mitigation Advocates Systematically Understate Case — yet another example …
December 4th, 2012 · Comments Off on Climate Mitigation Advocates Systematically Understate Case — yet another example …
Systematically, for numerous issues, those advocating for action to mitigate our headlong rush over the Catastrophic Climate Chaos Cliff understate the case.
