The sad irony of Trump's abdication of leadership on Climate Change: The Trump Effect 

 The psychology field may not be the first sector that comes to mind when thinking about how different professionals are working together to preserve the planet. However, what you’re about to read may surprise you ... A new, cross-disciplinary white paper authored by three prominent international climate experts for the US-based Universal Ecological Fund refutes the notion against proactive actions to mitigate and adapt to rapid climate change ...

Be it from social unrest, economic upheaval, or environmental collapse, forced human migration is at unprecedented levels. According to the UNHCR, there are more than 65 million displaced ... Buying on credit:
Today is Earth Overshoot Day. As of today, the year is done for planet Earth, she has given a year’s worth of natural resources ... When the Trump administration’s 2018 fiscal budget proposal included 40 percent of funding cut for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), few were surprised. The president doesn’t seem to understand what is at stake with such cuts ... An apocalyptic future is materializing that threatens human civilization and all life on the planet. The truth about climate change is more terrifying than our worst nightmares. We are teetering on the brink ... Rising levels of greenhouse gasses are increasing global temperatures and this is causing sea levels to rise.

That may seem an odd thing to declare say about a state that gets 85 percent of its electricity generation from coal. Indeed, coal may be king, but the king is approaching the end of its reign.

Global Warming is Real – Resources for the Concerned Citizen

Welcome to Global Warming is Real. This blog and our parent website globalwarmingisreal.com are for the concerned citizen trying to get to the bottom of this serious issue.

It is unfortunate that some would turn this into a political football. We try to stay above that, though there will be the occasional rant to keep things interesting.

The issue of climate change, global warming, and environmental degradation is too important to be used as a political football. It becomes increasingly clear that the answer to global warming does not lie with our political leaders, but with us.

Explore the site and think about the issues.

This is our imperfect attempt to help the thoughful and concerned among us to make sense of the rhetoric so they might make wise choices for the future.

Time is short and leadership is lacking – we must lead ourselves.
