Author: Rich AlbertsonWhat follows probably shouldn't be called a “factoid.” Factual events are involved, but the analysis of their significance as a cause of climate change, that part is my opinion.

Author: Rich AlbertsonThat terrible, soul shattering sound that sometimes comes from the speakers of a sound system when the equipment is being set up, is called “feedback.” It happens when the speakers and the microphone get too close to one another, allowing sound from the speakers to reenter the system through the microphone and then get amplified once again.

Author: Rich AlbertsonIf it's coming, everyone wants to know when. “It” couldn't mean climate change itself, because that's been here and growing for nearly five decades now. I think “it” must mean some sort of plateau in the development of climate change where everything starts to go to “hell in a handbasket.” Whatever it means, no one really knows the answer because this is our first stroll down this surreal path but, some educated guesswork might just provide some useful insight. The “It” thing seems like it has a lot to do with how we have organized ourselves into a society. I say that because the interwoven connections of a globalized economy and culture makes it more susceptible to disruption from extreme weather events. An extreme weather event might wreak devastating damage wherever it strikes, but that damage will probably prove minor when compared to what's going to happen when the people in areas getting repeatedly hammered by extreme weather events, give up their last bit of hope that climate change can be stopped and begin to migrate to other parts of the country, by the millions. The place they leave will cease to function for want of their presence...more
