It’s hot in the summertime. It’s always hot in the summertime. But it’s getting hotter each time Summer comes around. The Pacific Northwest here in the United States is baking right now and it’s a very serious situation. High Temperature records are being set… Continue Reading “Burning in Seattle”
What To do for Nat’l Tree Day?
Well, the first thing I’m going to do is proclaim it to be National Tree Week! Because a single day just isn’t enough. This post about one of the coolest days all year was going to come out this morning, but I’m up to… Continue Reading “What To do for Nat’l Tree Day?”

The Environmental File: another troubling sign
Climate scientists are doing great work, trying to get ahead of some of the many problems we’re facing as the damage we’ve done to the Earth becomes more and more apparent. The way rainfall is distributed around our planet is changing. And, as you… Continue Reading “The Environmental File: another troubling sign”
