You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


Based both on computer models and satellite data a team of scientists has concluded that the increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is making arid regions greener.

This study illustrates one possibility that is always ignored in the climate debates — that there is a really good chance that the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere will be beneficial.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

  • During the Carboniferous period, when much of our coal deposits were laid down, average CO2 was 800 ppm. The average planetary temperature was 14C, about what it is today.

    Water (vapor) and Co2 are both considered green house gases…yet they are also essential inputs for plant life and therefore all life on this planet.

    Kinda makes you realize just how looney the environmental marxists are.

    But their logic is perfect and subjective, humans “create” or release carbon so by the application of logic the conclusion must be that it must be humans that drive temperature. I say the reasonable conversation is about pollution as a whole and technology that mitigates it. Period. If the conversation involves quantifying CO2 and temperature and the ability to use perfect, subjective logic to tie them together then you can control people because you have drawn a line of logic between the two, cause and effect. Its kind of like saying that all murderers exhale CO2, you can draw a logic line between murder and CO2 but is that really the cause of murder?

    1. Temperature and CO2 have both risen and fallen long before humans ever existed and by my understanding temperature seems to lead CO2, not the other way around. Not to mention the suns activity, a minor component to some.

    and

    2. Like I said the discussion should be about pollution and its elimination through best practices and the application of new technology. That is the true conversation and as I understand it the U.S.A. is well on its way on that road, we have to get the rest of the world up to speed.

    But I think we can all agree that what is going on is something else.
