Welcome to my website, where I tackle topics others avoid. I prioritize the scientific method and empirical data over political correctness, rejecting reliance on "authority" or unverified computer models. For decades, I've encountered predictions of imminent climate catastrophe and apocalyptic scenarios—none have materialized, nor will they soon.

Predicting future climate events with computer models has proven unreliable, and we must demand more precise, methodically proven science. We could phase out most fossil fuel use today without causing widespread poverty or starvation. So, what's holding us back? The issue isn't "renewables," which often inflict more significant environmental harm than they mitigate.

How Woke Ideology, rooted in CRT, is Killing Education

What is Identity Statism? Today's political mess blurs socialism, communism, fascism, and Progressivism into a statist tangle where government dominates, even with elections on paper. I call it "Identity Statism": a system fixated on identity—race, gender, and more—pushed through state power, coercion, and intimidation. It dodges overused labels that don't fit. Obama and the Democrats embody this. In 2008, Obama rode identity—the first Black president, a "change" icon—while forcing policies like bailouts and healthcare with little debate. Democrats since have leaned harder into it, wielding DEI to mandate racial and identity outcomes, strong-arming firms and people alike.

Violent Crime Facts They Hide

This series focuses on violent crime demographics at Waffle Houses, Aurora, Colorado, Houston County, Georgia, and an attack at a Cricket Wireless store in Arizona. This website explores dishonest reporting in the press and misleading FBI mass shooting numbers. This website rejects the false claims of systemic racism and does not play political correctness. While economics can play a part in disparate outcomes, behavior and culture are the main factors.

This series examines violent crime in Winston-Salem, NC, and surrounding areas from 2009 to 2025, analyzing 15 image-verified cases. Winston-Salem (pop. 255,089 in 2025) is 32.43% Black, 17.9% Hispanic, and 48.7% White, with 21.2% of Black and 43.5% of Hispanic residents in poverty—conditions often linked to instability. Key findings show a 93% Black/Hispanic male suspect rate, yet only one Hispanic suspect (6.7%) despite their 17.9% population share, suggesting close-knit communities may counter dysfunction. Culture, not race, drives these disparities. This critique targets a broken system, not any racial or ethnic group.

The Cambrian Period 541 to 485 MYA marked many major animal groups appearing in the fossil record.

The Cambrian Period 541 to 485 MYA marked many major animal groups appearing in the fossil record.
See detailed image Cambrian Explosion

The Cambrian Period lasted from approximately 541 to 485 million years ago. It marked the beginning of the Paleozoic Era and is known for the "Cambrian Explosion," a rapid diversification of life forms, with many major animal groups, including hard-shelled organisms like trilobites and brachiopods, appearing in the fossil record. During the Cambrian period, atmospheric CO2 levels were significantly higher than today, likely driven by intense volcanic activity and limited carbon sequestration due to the absence of widespread vegetation. Estimates based on geochemical models and proxy data, such as carbon isotope records, suggest CO2 concentrations ranged from 2,000 to 8,000 ppm (parts per million). This is compared to modern levels of around 420 ppm in 2025. The high CO2 levels contributed to a warm, greenhouse climate, with global temperatures likely 5–10°C higher than today, supporting diverse marine ecosystems that drove the Cambrian Explosion of life. Precise measurements vary due to uncertainties in proxy data and modeling, but levels were consistently elevated compared to the modern era.

Evidence based Earth Science

I rely solely on the scientific method and open debate, drawing from my lifelong science study through textbooks and courses.

I'm no expert and claim no unique insights, but the evidence is accessible to anyone who seeks it.

Solutions lie in existing technology and objective reasoning. There's nothing inherently wrong with humans shaping nature.

Quoting Marian L. Tupy:

There is no reason for pessimism about the future of our species or the planet. ... Put differently, nature adjusts to human activity in a multitude of ways and, the greater the human impact, the greater the natural adjustment. So, instead of seeing natural collapse, humans are encountering nature's resilience.

"There is nothing renewable about the billions of tons of non-renewable minerals and metals that are needed for wind and solar." -- Patrick Moore

A politician in a video absurdly links meat consumption to misogyny, racism, and colonialism, labeling it a "whiteness" issue that perpetuates gender oppression.

Such claims suggest climate dogma serves as a veil for attacking Western culture. Natural climate variations, which have always caused global challenges, are now wrongly pinned on Western meat-eating or electricity use.

Further quotes from this individual include: "Eating meat is racist & an expression of white supremacy," "Our whiteness is part of the problem with meat eating," and "Meat eating is also one of the ways gender-based oppression is perpetuated."

Issues in developing nations stem from complex factors, not racism or colonialism. This delusional narrative benefits no one.

Common Sense Versus Religion

Common sense environmentalism must place human needs first, mitigate actual pollution, make proper use of resources, and employ reasonable conservation methods. Humans must always come first, not nature.

Common sense environmentalism is better known as conservationism. I view man as a partner with Nature and part of it. They co-exist to each other's benefit. I seek practical solutions.

Environmentalism arose in the 1960s-70s. It is an anti-human, pantheistic system that deifies Nature. Nature is divine and must be preserved as "pristine" at all costs.

Environmentalists see man as separate from Nature, as a destructive force. They seek no solution for the co-existence of the two.

Conservationism needs to be done from a personal perspective and action, not centralized planning or government control. It will take education in technology. Learn how things work and what is involved. Stay away from fads. If one is on a spiritual adventure, go to church.

Environmentalism takes a collectivist view. All things are interrelated; there is no room for individualism. Conformity with a Nature-centered world view must become public policy - by force if needed.

Common sense environmentalism or conservationism places reason first. Environmentalism, like all religions, places emotion first. Recycling and eating organic foods have become a religious ritual with no regard for cost-benefit considerations.

The Great Extinctions by Norman MacLeod

To begin, one must have a working knowledge of earth science, including geology and natural processes, to understand the climate debate.

The physical processes in nature today are the same as those in the past. To quote the definition of actualism from Norman MacLeod

:
"Actualism - the doctrine that the same (actual) processes observed to exist in the modern world existed in the past and can be invoked to account for or explain geological phenomena."

Let us look at an example today. The news headlines scream about the drought in Europe. "The worst in 500 years," proclaims the news outlets. Well, not really.

The 1919-22 drought killed millions across the world. This drought spread from Britain to Russia to China.

To quote The Times, "Day after Day of these African conditions is proving a severe strain on the English constitution...The country was in the grip of an astonishing prolonged drought."

You won't find that definition for some reason on a Google search. Geological "relates to the study of the earth's physical structure and substance." Without that knowledge, earth science, which includes climate, makes no sense.

Fig 2 illustrates one of my favorite earth science books. Norman MacLeod follows the scientific method, noting the ongoing debates in geology and paleontology. There is none of the "settled science" nonsense. He states, "the vagaries of the fossil record."

He explores five significant extinctions. At best, he calls the present hysterical claims of a "sixth extinction" hypothetical. I call it fear-mongering.

I prefer written textbooks over Google's narrow, rigged web searches that promote a particular narrative. I like direct observation and physical evidence, not political authority from paid activists.

In a high tech age that has seen the creation of artificial intelligence by computers, we are also seeing the creation of artificial stupidity by people who call themselves educators. Thomas Sowell

From Encyclopedia Britannica on Postmodernism:

Postmodernism, also spelled post-modernism, in Western philosophy, a late 20th-century movement characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political and economic power.

The www.thelancet.com Vol 385 April 11, 2015 Richard Horton wrote the following:

The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness...

Modern warming began in ~1850, not 1979. Before 1850 a prolonged cooling period was known as the Little Ice Age. The Thames froze over several times.

To quote www.historic-uk.com on Frost Fairs,

"Between 1600 and 1814, it was not uncommon for the River Thames to freeze over for up to two months at time. ... Britain (and the entire of the Northern Hemisphere) was locked in what is now known as the 'Little Ice Age.'"

Historical facts. CO2 levels were not responsible for the severe and sudden warming ending the Little Ice Age or the 1920s droughts.

To quote the Austin American Statesman July 18, 2022:

"Depending on where you lived, the two worst (droughts) of the past 100 years took place during the 1930s, when the Dust Bowl worsened the misery of the Great Depression, and during the 1950s..."

These facts don't discount present human activities causing current conditions. It is likely natural variation and perhaps human activity combined.

Sudden weather shifts are regular. To further quote on Texas,

"Three years — 1951, 1954 and 1956 — count among the driest in the state's history. ... The drought ended when an April 24, 1957, storm brought down 10 inches of rain, as well as hail and tornadoes, on wide stretches of Texas within a few hours. The rain continued for 32 days; floods followed."

Appalachian Voices commissioned a study in 2009. They claimed, "nearly 1.2 million acres had been surface mined for coal and more than 500 mountains destroyed by mountaintop removal coal mining."

In Wise County, VA., where I grew up, strip mining "covered 40% of the land area."

About 70 years ago, Virginia's black bear population was about 1,000. Today black bears thrive in Virginia. The black bear population is between 18,000 to 20,000 in 2021.

1607 Jamestown settled estimated Virginia deer population ~400,000.

In the 1920s-30s, Virginia estimated deer population was ~25,000, all but wiped out in Western Virginia. Large-scale coal mining begins in Southwest Virginia in the 1920s.

1926 deer restoration program begins. 1938 "over half the state devoid of deer."

1950 Virginia deer population ~150,000. 1970 Virginia deer population ~215,000. Large-scale strip mining exploded in Southwest Virginia in 1970.

1980 Virginia deer population ~422,000, 1988 Virginia deer population ~585,000.

2000 Virginia deer population ~900,000 and "stable."

Ref. Deer by the Dozen by Carol Heiser and Sally Mills.

The 2022 Virginia deer population, I estimate easily over 1 million! In other words, we have ~2.5 times as many deer in 2022 than in 1607.

Virginia's population in 1920 was ~2.3 million. In 2020 ~8.6 million. Nearly a fourfold increase.

We are awash in deer in our coal mining region, far too many. Wildlife flourishes on old strip mines.

How can this be howls environmental activists? Humans destroy nature, proclaim the activists.

No humans alter nature to the benefit of most cases to humans, plants, and animals. These results result from technology, affordable energy via fossil fuels, and government intervention.

We can certainly do better with technology, not politics or communist social engineering.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, many former communists found a new belief system. Socialism and statism (mixed with ecology forming environmental justice) are still the desired goal, but a little religion doesn't hurt.

In "Ecology and Spirituality" Leslie E. Sponsel notes the following:

"Secular approaches .. have also proven insufficient to turn things around for the better. Spirituality ... may help. Spirituality refers to mystical phenomena that include profoundly moving emotional experiences that can generate vision, meaning, purpose, and direction for an individual’s life in pursuit of the sacred. ... while in recent decades affiliation with religion declined, in contrast interest in spirituality increased. ... Ecology and spirituality are interrelated in various ways and degrees: spiritual ecology has grown exponentially since the 1990s."

This superstitious rubbish has no place in science. Gaia is superstition. Eastern mysticism is superstition. Notions of "biodiversity" have taken on many aspects of New Age mysticism. Science has nothing to do with a "direction" in one's life.

This religious rubbish permeates both ecology and climate change dogma. One's hatred of capitalism and desire to remake society, or anything social, has nothing to do with science.

A German member of the UN climate committee (a nonscientist) wrote the following:

"Basically, it is a big mistake to discuss climate policy apart from the big issues of globalization. The climate summit... is not a climate conference, but one of the biggest business conferences since the Second World War ... But one has to be clear: we are effectively redistributing world wealth through climate policy. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy..."

Their words not mine. Climate politics has never been about deer or black bears.

Detroit Free Press notes in 2018:

Every demographic of students has seen a slide in third-grade literacy. White students, for instance, saw a 6.5 percentage point drop, from 58.2% proficient in 2014 to 51.7% in 2016. That compares with black students, who declined 3.3 percentage points, from 23.2% to 19.9%; Hispanic students, who declined 5.2 percentage points, from 37.2% to 32%, and Asian students, who declined 6.3 percentage points, from 69.7% to 63.4%. Meanwhile, low-income students (those eligible for free or reduced price lunch), declined 6.2 percentage points, from 35.3% to 29.1%; while higher-income students declined 6.4 percentage points, from 66.8% to 60.4%.

And:

Just 23% of Michigan's students graduate prepared for college or careers. And the state ranked 46th in fourth-grade reading and 37th in eighth-grade math on a rigorous national exam.

What the hell are they doing? I'll reveal what the problem really. The drops were not East Asians or European whites.
