Here’s our collection of blogs on the Environment.
Oh Canada. Please Take Heed.
Ok folks. If you’re not really concerned, then you haven’t been listening. If you have been listening and you’re not feeling panicky, then you really need a reality check. To quote from my website: ….Holy Sh*t We’re in Trouble…. ….Humanity is in...
Spreading Knowledge To Overcome Fear
It sounds so obvious but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working. There is a group of really smart people at the Genetic Literacy Project (GLP) whose motto is “science not ideology” who are working hard at getting us to think this way. It’s not at all...
Why Am I Talking About “Saved By Science”?
Why am I blogging every week or so? Why have I developed a website called: www.savedbyscience.org? Why have I written a book with the same title? I’ve always known — well at least for the last 50 years — that we have a problem with scientific literacy. It...

Evidence Matters — Part II
And it's not okay that…… millions of people are being “abused” and many even dying as a result of evil people using false data and making false scientific claims for their own financial or political benefit. It’s not only wrong, it’s criminal and what’s...
Evidence Matters
Well, that sounds like a pretty trite and “self-evident” statement. You would think that this would be pretty obvious, especially when it comes to to our health and to the many other issues affecting our very existence (e.g. our food supply and the...
The 4th Industrial Revolution
The 1st Industrial Revolution occurred sometime between the late 1700s and the early 1800s and represented a major shift from a largely agrarian and “handicraft” economy to one dominated by organized industrial and machine manufacturing. The 2nd Industrial...
Post World War III
As devastating as the COVID-19 pandemic is to our health and to the health of our economy, there is yet another pandemic that we are experiencing with implications that may be far more severe and that of course is being brought on by the crisis: global...
