I’m surprised I’ve dodged the bullet for so long. A little while ago, the City of Philadelphia issued a warning via smart phones, that the tap water is no longer safe to drink. They “recommend” we drink bottled water. …

A variety of unexpected tactics — used forcefully and repeatedly — is the way we will rescue our planet from its adversaries. Yesterday, I published a piece aimed at building and activating a huge grass roots climate movement to magnify the effectiveness of existing groups like Just Stop Oil and…

An approach to rescue the climate and save the biosphere. And what you can do RIGHT NOW. We are in a cataclysmic battle between those who want to destroy the planet for profit, and those who want to preserve the climate for our children and future generations. The problem with…

Adult “leaders” (sic) are doing everything in their power to ensure that the next generation doesn’t have a chance.

YOU are invited! Do you care about the climate crisis, but don’t know what you can do? Are you feeling it’s not enough to simply cut down your own carbon footprint, but you don’t see a way to influence decision-makers, policymakers and other authorities? You are not alone. Individually, we…
