Global Ocean Circulation: AMOC runs Amok // Apr 17, 2018
What happens if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning (AMOC) slows down, or even stops? The former has happened, and if the latter occurs there will be global chaos. How close are we to reaching the threshold for a “rewriting” of global ocean circulation? If it occurs, will it be permanent, for at least hundreds of years? How much will already extreme weather change, and how much will global food supply be impacted?

Ocean Currents Disruption: Slower and Wavier // Published on Apr 14, 2018
Cutting edge science finds ocean currents slowing down. We all know the equator is warm and poles are cold. This temperature difference causes heat flow from the equator to poles. As the Arctic warms like crazy, heat flow there slows, thus jet streams slow and are wavier; the same slowing and waviness increase happens with ocean currents. If sluggish ocean currents (slowing of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) halt or redistribute, we are in for a heap of chaotic climate change mayhem.

Climate Atlas for USA: How will your home change? Part 2 // Published on Apr 12, 2018
Have you looked out the window lately? You probably notice big changes in temperatures (highs, lows, averages), in precipitation (rain, snow, freezing rain), in storms (intensity, duration, frequency) and in the plants and animals around you. Find out more about these changes, and see what climate projections say about the next decade, or two, or six for your home [USA].

Climate Change Hitting Your Home: Part 1 // Published on Apr 11, 2018
How does climate change affect where you live? How much will temperature increase (min, averages, max) in the next 10 years, 20 years, … , 50 years; where you live? How much will rainfall change? How many days delay will there be for the first fall frost; how many days earlier will the last spring frost occur? Will climate be better for growing corn; how about for potatoes? I give you the tools to get insight into these changes. Starting with Canada.

Propaganda and Information Warfare Within Social Media // Published on Apr 5, 2018
A confluence of recent technologies are undermining planetary democracies, and negating our ability to act on climate change. The global proliferation of smart phones, individually associated with a unique identifier (IP address), and thus geographical region, in conjunction with social media information on the hearts and minds of users, data mined and sold to corporations with nefarious intentions has hijacked the zeitgeist of individuals, thus regions and voting blocks and countries and entire societies by aggregating the sum-total of information. Dark times indeed.

Tugging Heart-Strings to Manipulate Minds: Social Media PsyOps // Mar 29, 2018
Deep dark insidious forces are working to destroy democracy and destabilize organized society. Covert psychological operations (psyops) techniques from hideously honed spycraft in the past, combined with widespread dissemination via social media with cascading amplification of messages has shifted balances of power allowing for the control of many by the few, without the many even knowing.
Manipulating minds via propagation of propaganda that pull our heartstrings in echo chambers has insidiously accelerated chaos and destroyed our ability to deal with amplified environmental disaster that topple our towers while rendering us immobile. What to do?

Rant Time by a Climate Dude about a Guy with Pink Hair // Published on Mar 22, 2018
I’ve been long overdue for a rant, but due to the late hour of filming while walking home on nearly deserted streets, this video is, at best, a subdued rant. At worst, it is, well…read the comments.
Climate Mayhem? Let them eat Cricket Cake // Published on Mar 22, 2018
Another rant. Holding the iPhone steady in selfie mode for 15 minutes to film a video tires out the arm. I’ll have to invent a selfio stick. At least this type of filming let’s you have eyes in the back of your head, which is useful while walking on a path where cyclists speed by.
Have you ever eaten a bug? Great protein. A writer called to ask me about MicroFarming, more specifically Cricket Farming. Babies grow to fully grown crickets in a month, they croak (with help), you dry them and grind them into Cricket Flour. Yummy. Why stop? I suggested Cricket Beers and Wines as a next step. You never know what you’ll get next; please donate to my cause.

Interview with beloved favorite, Alex Smith of Radio Ecoshock, Arctic Meltdown – 50 shades of panic. About 14 minutes long. Please page down for third of three podcasts. Thank you Alex. As he says:
PAUL BECKWITH: BIG STORMS MOVE BIG STONES
‘In his seminal book “Storms of Our Grandchildren” former NASA head scientist James Hansen predicted mega storms will sweep the Earth as climate change develops. … After devastating hurricanes like Maria, New Englanders battered by three Nor’easters in the last two weeks must be wondering, are we entering a more unstable world, with bigger storms?
Our regular science correspondent Paul Beckwith just posted a four-part You tube video series with new science on just that question. Paul tells us about super-waves as high as 100 feet (30 meters). Scientists in on the north shore of Ireland have carefully mapped out large stones along the coast. In the winter of 2013/14, several stones weighing 100 tons were moved by the waves. ...‘

Radio interview latter today. After ‘Choose Show’, please page down to alphabetical listing of shows.
Then at ‘M’ find go to: Monday Night Talk, Monday, March 19th, 2018 7:00 pm. Queue starts around 8:00 mark.
Topic: A Better Future, with host: Dorothee Saucourt. As she says: “The subject of imagining a beautiful future has been with me for a long time, and my objective is really to stimulate people so that they imagine their own vision and create images in their brain.”

Debunking Grand Solar Minimum in Abrupt Climate Change: 1 of 2 // Published on Mar 14, 2018
The idea of a Grand Solar Minimum (GSM) causing weather extremes, specifically cooling on parts of our planet today is deeply flawed (just wrong) and has no basis in reality. I clearly explain here how variability in sunspots cause tiny changes in solar output (0.5/1361 or 1 part in 2722), and changes in climate impact of about 0.05 in 2.7 which is eeny-weeny-teeny compared to greenhouse gas impacts. Also, solar cycles, reflected in sunspot counts, are on an 11 year timescale, which clearly cannot explain the abrupt climate change occurring.

Solar CHANGES Effect on Climate is Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny: 2 of 2 // Published on Mar 15, 2018
Many people are very worried, even scared, about abrupt climate change causing extreme weather events like torrential rains with floods, droughts, high winds, etc. increasing in severity, duration, frequency and impact.
Many unscientific theories as to the cause are being invoked (even promoted) either innocently through lack of science knowledge, or fraudulently for nefarious reasons. The idea that sun changes (Grand Solar Minimum or GSM) are the root cause is utter nonsense.
