Another Global Change Report?
We discussed the Global Change Research Program earlier this week. You remember- the report that explains how badly climate change is going to prove for life as we know it. The one that TheDonald wanted to bury, so he had it released on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Great news!!!!!
That’s right- it will be just a matter of a few years before the GOP changes its stupidity and develops a thinking brain.
The Ostrich Effect
Climate change. Despite the protestations of the few, it’s pretty clear that climate change is real. And, the policies of TheDonald are simply going to bring about these changes more quickly.
Flesh Eating Bacteria Coming to You Soon?
Global Warming. Wait- don’t run away. This is a whole new take on the problem.
No, I am not going to say (as many an idiotic politician declares) that it is a hoax. Yes, the rise in sea level is real. Ask anyone who lives in Norfolk or the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Ocean front property is often one’s front door nowadays.
This is just one leg of the stool
As I’ve written before (here is but one example), I’ve been concerned that we have been rebuilding communities along the Mississippi for a long time. Because the river floods its banks, destroying those communities along the shoreline. We should consider rebuilding those cities and towns at higher elevations.
R-I-S-K (don’t shudder- react!)
Most of you know I live in Metropolitan DC. So, whatever happens in/to/from the Federal government is LOCAL. Like the shutdown- that cost the DC area more than $ 220 million each and every day in business. Since there are some 5 million folks living in the Metropolitan area, that’s $ 50 not spent by every man, woman, and child. OK, that doesn’t sound too bad. But, there are about 225,000 businesses in the area. Which means the average business took a hit $ 1000 a day. That is a significant number if you are a small business- even if you are a large one.
Road Trip
So, I took a road trip today. Something I have not done in a while; to visit a client. And, as I’ve written often, this sort of “adventure” presents me with cogitation time. But, today, I did not develop a new product or service. (Darn it! That would have been nice.) Instead, I considered the current state of affairs. It hit me with a start how inconsistent I have been recently- and how inconsistent many of my friends have been.
