There’s quite a bit of news coverage these days about changes to the earth. We’re seeing reports of more droughts, stronger storms, more frequent flooding. There’s extremes in temperatures – both hot and cold -and we’re seeing massive changes to the earth’s oceanic and atmospheric systems. Some people say its climate change. Some say there […]

Yesterday I spent part of the day in a sound studio taping radio spots for Loud Cry Radio to consider.  Loud Cry Radio is a ministry of Glen Striemer (father of Naomi Striemer) and if you like contemporary Christian music I highly recommend it (you’ll find it streaming on the internet).  I taped the first […]

It was only a few years ago — less than five at any rate — that sea levels were expected by many to rise by inches in the current century.  Then, as the dramatically accelerating decline of the massive glaciers in Greenland and the Antarctic came more into focus, the discussion turned to one of feet of sea […]

The fundraising for a Planet In Distress TV series on Hope Channel is about 15% complete, as a bit over $1500 has been raised or pledged so far toward this $10,000 goal.  I will be meeting with a Hope Channel producer in January to hash the details out and, if things somehow go off the rails […]

Just a quick post here.  I encourage you to read this opinion piece by Seventh-day Adventist Pastor and author Shawn Brace, which appeared in the Bangor (Maine) Daily News.  Then, take a listen to this War College podcast.  Taken together, the two are fascinating and provide a compelling counterpoint.  At least, that is what I […]

The nations of the world are currently meeting in Paris and trying to hammer out an agreement to limit human CO2 emissions.  It is a complicated and difficult thing to do because our global human economy is powered by hydrocarbons — from the burning of oil, gas and coal — and it is not possible […]

The constant and accelerating decline of the key  natural systems that drive life functions on this planet is fairly clear to anyone who sifts through the data.  The fact that this profound and accelerating decline is the inevitable result of sin and separation from God is also clear to anyone who sifts through what the […]

Brazil is in the midst of the worst drought in its  modern history, and one it is woefully unprepared to cope with.  Recently NASA released a study that utilized its GRACE satellites to measure just how much water Brazil is losing during its drought.  The twin GRACCE satellites, which measure fluctuations in earth’s gravity and […]

The earth can be compared to an old-fashioned watch in that it has a numerous moving pieces that are fully integrated.  These “systems”  are mid-bogglingly complex and include our oceanic system, atmospheric system, soil system, fresh water system (including the hydrologic cycle, which of course overlaps with the atmospheric system), climate system, etc.  Each of these […]

The wildfires in Indonesia are the worst such outbreak in recorded human history.  Prior to this, the worst such outbreak was also in Indonesia, in 1997.  1997 was also a record El  Nino year, but the fires this year are wo much worse than 1997 that any comparison is a weak one.  Further, wildfire problems […]
