In some of my previous blogs, I’ve been talking about the extremely harmful effects of ocean acidification. Ocean acidification occurs as the result of greenhouse gases [carbon dioxide – CO2] created from human activity, being…
Jets taxing for takeoff, where climate change could increase severe clear air turbulence by an extraordinary 149 percent. Greetings! Once again, I have more sobering news for you on the effects of “climate change.” And this time it’s the possibility of an incredible increase in severe clear air turbulence of up to 149 percent!

The devastating effects of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef are a direct result of warming ocean water and climate change. It is sad to report to you that from new aerial surveys and extensive dives, coral bleaching has now devastated an unbelievable 93% of the Great Barrier Reef! These dives included 911…
Oil – one of three fossil fuels contributing to increasing Ocean Acidification. A Warm and Wonderful Happy New Year to you! In this blog I’d like to talk more about the very important subject of Ocean Acidification and why the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO] has such an important role in educating…
