Climate Change: Part II
A Quandary: What To Do?
Responsible citizens, corporations, and institutions face a challenge.

Climate Change: Part I
The summer of 2023 represented the proverbial canary in the coal mine regarding climate change. The widespread global conditions experienced around the globe match the projections of science and the global climate models that will result from the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the exceedingly thin atmosphere that surrounds the earth. These include extreme weather events (tens of days in the southwest US exceeding 110 degrees), ocean temperatures rising (water temperatures in the waters around Florida reaching 100 degrees), wildfires throughout the northern hemisphere, glaciers and sea ice melting across the globe, and sea levels rising. The Southern Hemisphere is experiencing record-high winter temperatures. To carry forward the analogy the summer 2023 canary is on its back, its feet in the air and it’s making its last gasps.

United States Supreme Court Rejects Parent's Appeal to Video Tape Special Education Team Meetings
On June 10, 2024, the United States Supreme Court (USSC) denied Scott Pitta’s petition for writ of certiorari.
