This is why we can’t have nice things.

And yes Boomers us men are perfectly capable of taking care of our own damned dishes. My hipster exes however could not. And I blame you!

Fractal Foo! – Chesapeake Blues – Nitrogen the new CO2

On December 14, 2018December 14, 2018 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Environment, Social Commentary, The Fractal Journal, UncategorizedLeave a comment

A bit of a rant I threw together while in one of my sourer moods. The subject is algal blooms and their effects on fisheries. Triggered in part by Jimmy Dore’s coverage of west coast fisherman suing energy companies for AGW. But mostly triggered by general ignorance and tribalism.

See prior video for relevant links (in the description)

Fractal Radio | Episode 30 – Science vs Politics (Case Study)

On December 12, 2018 By Alex V. WeirIn Alex Weir, Current Events, Environment, Social Commentary, The Fractal Journal, UncategorizedLeave a comment

This little episode was prompted when one of my favorite pundits, Jimmy Dore, discussed the plans of some fisherman to sue oil companies for causing global warming. Which said fisherman implicate in their troubles catching fish.

I point out that nitrification from agriculture and urban sources is a much stronger causal link for marine life dieoffs.

I then launch into a broader discussion of the fact that science does not work by consensus, and dissect the ‘97% of scientists agree’ claim.

The boundary between science and politics needs to be understood and respected.

Thanks for watching.

People seem to defend and attack vague notions rather than discuss the merits of policies. I take a jab at the problem. Alright I mention the problem. Perhaps the jab will come soon.

Fractal Radio| Episode 18 – Legacy Pollutants Ramble

On September 8, 2018 By Alex V. WeirIn Environment, Philosophy, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I ramble about odds and ends and the ongoing importance of raising environmental awareness. I cringe a tad writing that due to the baggage attached to ‘environmental awareness.’ It’s an unfair stigma that really detracts from a pretty sound idea. Taking care of our resources is taking care of ourselves.

I am aware the sound sucks. But re-rendering is another 2+ hours due to hardware limitations. I think its tolerable enough if you turn it up. I don’t ever yell so don’t worry about an ear blow out.
