Things have been quiet here, even more than the usual slow pace...
I am back now from a trip to Europe where I left the family with the kids maternal grandparents and I won't see them for nine weeks in all. This was a bad plan, but it was the plan. I have been home for a couple of weeks already,…

Boo-Boo, August 26, 2056
I found myself becoming quite anthropological watching Anna learn to walk and talk over the summer. She is a curious and rambunctious child who is always getting into things we thought…

Daedalus, August 19, 2056
What is it that makes the PR efforts of the space industry always look so lame? Don't get me wrong. I love space. I think humans are bound to colonize the solar system sooner or later.…

Coal-fired electricity production is bad on so many levels.

Here are a couple of great animations of the arctic sea ice volume over the satellite era.
(credit to Andy Lee Robinson, seen at Planet3)
While this is not news, I think the animations make two things very clear. One, is that anyone even giving the time of day to the notion that there is "nothing…

Via Planet3.0 I see there is a declaration of the need, and competitive advantage it would bring, for action on climate change signed by a not insignificant number of major (non-fossil fuel) corporations. As Michael Tobis points out, it is, rather strangely, presented as an image only.
