For the longest time, the day when the most visitors (3,356) clicked on this blog site was 27February2010 on THE CHILE EARTHQUAKE. Why? Probably because this posting was linked to my Huffington Post article of that day reporting on HAWAII TSUNAMI. Natural disasters tend to increase readership. However, on 6March2017 THE WONDERS OF ALCOHOL drew 6498. Further, too, on 6June2017, the one-month tally of visitors was 70,219, or 2340/day. However, on 18December2018 a record 27,775 people read that posting. On 22April2019, after 13,000 and 19,000 pings the previous days, a second all-time high of 27,318 was reached. The daily average has been about 500/day.

Interesting to note that not one of the top 20 postings reports on natural disasters (not sure what those numbers stand for, but they indicate a kind of relativity), the newest of this list goes back five years, and the highest rated this year is just over 300. Clearly, people are reading my older postings, but there is no sense to which subject areas are popular.

WE MUST TAKE ACTION ON GLOBAL WARMING NOW!

2024 surpassed 2023 as the highest global temperature on record. Global sea level also rose to a new high, 4 inches higher than in 1993, when record-keeping began. Tropical cyclones were 25% higher than the average. The Arctic is melting, severely.

There has of course been an active disinformation effort to discredit climate change, partially funded by fossil fuel companies and some conservative groups. If you click on the following, you can access a layman's guide to the global warming debate or a science controversy guide. For balance, read a skeptic's guide and the wisdom (?) of Senator Inhofe. You might also find interest in how to talk to a climate skeptic.

The bottom line is that we just can't take a chance, for even if our climate stabilizes, the worst that could happen with a carbon tax is our economy being temporarily discombobulated. If we don't take action with a 5 cent/pound carbon dioxide tax (or something similar), we could well face total economic, political and life collapse!
