In November, we reported on the fact that more than 50% of the state of Oregon was in “severe,” “extreme,” or “exceptional” drought. This story has barely been mentioned in statewide media.

by Robert Doublin / Deep Green Resistance For the first time in the history of the human species AND our genus Homo, we have at least two months averaging over 410 ppmv CO2. Within two years, three at the most, the average for the entire year will be over 410. Then 415. Then … Continue reading Global Warming Roundup: Weather Whiplash→

We … Continue reading Global Warming Roundup: 410 ppmv→
by Anonymous It is without reasonable doubt that Anthropogenic Global Warming has firmly taken hold to such an extent that I honestly can’t decide what is scarier: that we are still only in the beginning stages of it (sort of you-ain’t-seen-nothin’-yet on steroids) or we have already crossed over into the middle stages … Continue reading Global Warming Roundup: Worse Than It Seems→
