If there is one thing you should never do, it would be to piss off a crow. Damn bloody birds are some of the smartest animals alive on this planet (collectively-speaking that is) and I'm not exaggerating even a little bit. Think back on the last time you were able to zero in on the face... Continue Reading →
In my last post, Boogie-man Gas, I talked about CO2 and the controversies surrounding this trace gas. I also pointed out to evidence that CO2 has been a beneficial gas, and not the pollutant that most people think it is. Still, with headlines such as these (Scientists call for action to tackle CO2 levels,[1] and... Continue Reading →
For those of you who think that living forever is as out of reach as the Moon, you might want to rethink that thought. It's not as far away as you think. Physically, the moon is only 238,900 miles (384,400 km) from Earth. That's not very far when we consider that we have been there and... Continue Reading →
OK, so I've been a bit of a nut case lately, constantly harping on about the sun and its magnetic situation and how unstable it is. Well, there's a reason for this.

Take one down and pass it around, one hundred forty-three billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall. I wonder how long it's going to take to sing this song until we get to... Continue Reading →

When the words trigger, runaway, and greenhouse are all emblazoned at the top on the title, it does bring... Continue Reading →
These are the very last days of July, 2013. If we don't stop and capture the sunshine and the gentle trade winds, the scented leaves and the birdsong, it will be over in a matter of hours and we will be neck-deep in the warm beach sands of August. But that is true only until... Continue Reading →
Lately, it seems as if everywhere I look, nothing much ever changes. The sun still shines, the rain still falls. People still do what they do. Admittedly, nowadays, with all the new gadgets at our finger tips, we can do a multitude of things that would not have been possible in the past. Even sitting... Continue Reading →
(Continued from The Heat is On---Barely) The Oceans are supposed to be getting hotter, says climate scientists. Last I checked, however, the hottest things in (and on) the oceans are the surfer dudes with their tanned bodies and their muscular physiques. This is the reason why my home is within driving proximity to Santa Cruz,... Continue Reading →
