Transcript: As sea levels rise along Bangladesh's coast, saltwater is seeping into farmland, destroying soil fertility. As a result, some farmers and families are moving to the big city of Dhaka in search of better opportunities.

It was a cold and windy night in the Arctic, and Santa Claus was in his studio, looking at his “Naughty List” with concern. This year, however, what he’s worried about isn’t giving gifts; how He is willing to deliver them. After all, the Arctic has turned green. Transition to “sustainable” solutions It all started when the Elf Alliance convinced Santa to modernize his business. They were pressured by letters from children demanding a “greener Christmas”. The old coal-powered magic furnace that kept Santa's sleigh flying reliably for centuries is gone. Instead, the Arctic now has the following characteristics: Number…

Frank Capra's it's a wonderful life is one of cinema's most enduring classics, a sentimental and profound exploration of how one man's contribution impacts an entire community. In an alternate timeline of the story, George Bailey never existed, painting a grim picture of what life would be like without his sacrifice. Inspired by this story, let's imagine a different kind of alternative reality – a world where fossil fuels never existed. Will we, like George's Bedford Falls, find ourselves in a global Portersville? Let’s explore how the scarcity of fossil fuels affects the fabric of our lives, from our economic…
It was the night before Christmas, and all over the land,There were no windmills spinning, not even in the sand.The panel lies quietly, its surface exposed,Because the snow has fallen, blocking the sunlight in the air. The children were lying comfortably on their beds,Meanwhile, images of power outages swirled in their minds.Mom brought a blanket and I wore a hat,Just settled in for a long hibernation. When we got to the lawn, there was a sudden splashing sound.I jumped out of my chair to see what was going on.I flew to the window like lightning,Tear down the blinds and pull…

In recent years, he has thought a lot about climate change.

He sings about restoring waterways, maple trees moving north and offshore wind farms. “Wind Witch” excerpt: “Wind Witch/Waving to the water/Staring to spin/Sending a signal to the…
From Manhattan Contrarian Francis Menton My post on Saturday pointed out a big reason for optimism that the green energy fantasy is coming to an end: The first country, Germany, has apparently begun to hit the green energy “wall.” While Germany has never consistently reached 50% of its electricity generation from wind and solar, its ability to continue its green energy dream has stalled: electricity prices have soared, manufacturing has been severely disrupted, the economy has fallen into recession and, most recently, its green-minded government has collapsed . It's an example of failure that now deserves to be seen and…
