Confessions of a tree hugger

CONFESSIONS OF A TREE HUGGER

I am a bonafide tree hugger. I love trees as much as Joyce Kilmer did. Trees, to me, are majestic living entities and serve as mentors to careful observers about the need to grow deep roots upon which to build your life, with limbs that invariably stretch towards the heavens. Plus, it is clear from Scripture that God loves trees. After man and God, Himself, trees among all living things are third in the amount of attention in Scripture. For...

A PLANET IN PERILE

Certainly many of the 8,048,881,700 people on the planet at the moment would agree that this summer has been uncomfortably hot. Welcome to a planet in perile. As I write this, it is 41 degrees Fahrenheit in Thule Greenland. Thule is 700 miles north of the Arctic Circle, just less than half the distance from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole. In Las Vegas, it is 103 degrees, with a high of 111 degrees predicted for today. In Beijing it...

HARMONIE UND HEILUNG IN DER NATUR

Harmonie und heilung in der natur: In den letzten Jahren habe ich den Klimawandel mit wachsender Sorge beobachtet.  In meinem Alter werde ich wahrscheinlich nicht mehr lange genug leben, um die vorhergesagten schwerwiegenden ökologischen Folgen zu erleben, die wir unseren Kindern und Enkeln hinterlassen werden.  Aber ich bin dennoch beunruhigt, weil wir in unserer Blindheit und Gier unseren Mitmenschen und zahllosen anderen Arten, die den Planeten mit uns teilen, schweres Leid zugefügt haben.  Diese unschuldigen Lebewesen wurden aus Gründen der kommerziellen Ausbeutung oder...

Let Children Vote at Climate Change Conferences

LET CHILDREN VOTE AT CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCES

Glasgow, which is hosting COP26, has a familalr motiff. It’s predominantly male, made up of middle-aged politicians who have parochial national agendas, who enjoy being wined and dined at hospitality suites, skillfully adept at putting off any meaningful progress (before the next global summit, anyway.) We’ve known the planet is in danger for several generations now, and the environment keeps getting worse. We’re destroying our children’s future, and they have no formal say in the process. Why not let children...

Renewable energy:time to pause?

RENEWABLE ENERGY: TIME TO PAUSE?

Almost everyone on the planet except perhaps for flat-earthers or people wrapped up in conspiracies should be aware that the climate on the earth is changing, and not for the better.  If we want to blame someone, we could blame people for the change, though this change has occurred at least several times in the distant past before humans were the dominant species.  Perhaps, it happened even on Mars where there are no people, because Mars was likely not always the desert...
