Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: L is for Leapfrogging 8:05

27d ago8:05

8:05

India, home of more than 1.4 billion people, wants to increase its overall prosperity. Presently, its citizens consume, per person, one tenth of what is consumed by Americans. If India were to take an intense fossil-fuel burning, CO2 producing path to prosperity, the effect on the planet would be catastrophic. So leapfrogging to a higher, more sust…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: K is for Kilowatt 8:40

28d ago8:40

8:40

It is astounding how much energy Americans use - especially compared to people elsewhere. The per capita consumption of each person in the U.S. is roughly 11,000 watts every moment of every day. And yet, we today have technology - like the 24 solar panels on my roof that can begin to change the carbon emissions which come from the burning of fuel t…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: J is for Jobs, Jobs, Jobs 8:16

29d ago8:16

8:16

Today it's about the same, important word repeated three times. We are reminded that with the shift to a renewable energy focused economy, there are new jobs which will grow from the need for labor to build the new infrastructure. And, as followers of Christ, we are also called to build a just, inclusive world in which all of the creatures within C…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: I is for Inflation Reduction Act 7:22

30d ago7:22

7:22

We begin with the ending quote from the text for letter "I" - "The I.R.A. was called 'historic,' 'transformational,' and 'the best news anyone who cares about the fate of the planet had heard in a long time'" In contrast, just today, Politico reported that an influential oil & gas industry lobbist group 'has drafted detailed plans for dismantling l…

Christ, Countdown, & Climate Change: H is for Hope 7:54

1M ago7:54

7:54

Just three letters ago we had "D is for Dispair." Now it's "H is for Hope." Which of these two seemingly opposite postures/attitudes is it? Recall the bluntness of "Despair is a sin." Along with faith and love, hope is a core virtue of the Christian tradition. And there's evidence - if we are awake to it, that there's reason to be hopeful that chan…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: G is for Green Concrete 7:59

1M ago7:59

7:59

Of the many human-made things we take for granted, concrete may be near the top of the list. As it's the building block of nearly every structure we construct - it's always nearby - yet often overlooked. Did you know though that the way traditional concrete is made today accounts for nearly 8% of the global total of carbon emissions in 2023 -which …

"Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: F is for Flight" 7:29

1M ago7:29

7:29

It's Indigenous People's (as it's officially named where I live in Columbus, OH) Day. Or perhaps, as an Atlantic article today suggests, we should celebrate this day as Explorer's Day to honor those of all cultures who boldly set out for new frontiers. In this spirit, it's a good day for "F is for Flight." Check out the Alia electric aircraft featu…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change - E x2 is for Electrify Everything 8:09

1M ago8:09

8:09

Today's letter, our second vowel, is so great it gets a double letter. The cost of capturing renewable energy has dropped in price -especially from the sun - even since 2010 - such that generating carbon-free electricity is almost the same price as the cost of what is made from burning fossil fuels - that also make CO2. Wind power - especially - of…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change - D is for Despair (and Doom) 10:02

1M ago10:02

10:02

Today is stark - "D is for Despair" The text we are pondering in the book "H is for Hope" is brief, pointed & the opposite of the title. It brings to mind a related "D" - doom. It's on my mind as I was feeling a sense of doom about this election before Biden stepped down. And I've been pondering it as I read the 2024 book by Brian D. McLaren "Life …

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: C is for Capitalism 9:15

1M ago9:15

9:15

Letter "C" is a tough one for most of us to hear as it's for Capitalism. In the foundational text we're using for this series, this sums it up: "Climate change can't be solved with the tools of capitalism, because it is a product of capitalism." And don't forget that in the U.S. corporations have been granted the same rights as people. The follower…

Christ, Countdown & Climate Change: B is for Blah, Blah, Blah 8:56

1M ago8:56

8:56

If yesterday's "A" was for someone you didn't know, today's "B" comes from someone you likely do - Greta Thunberg. In late 2021, she spoke in Italy and used a refrain of "Blah. Blah. Blah" to point out the hypocrisy of political leaders thus far on true reduction of carbon and other climate changing gases. Jesus the Christ, also a truth-teller, had…

A is for Arrhenius - Who? What? We start our trip through the alphabet as we have 28 days (and change) to the U.S. election. Swedish scientist, Svante Arrhenius, starting in 1894, constructed the first climate model which showed the effects that CO2 has on the atmosphere. It's a good place to start as everything on and enveloping earth connects to …

I listen to Peter Gabriel - an artist who has inspired me for 35 years now - sing as I walk my pooch on a beautiful Saturday AM. In his new song "I/O" he declares a truth "I'm just a part of everything." So much of the world around us shows this to be true. Listen as I ponder how even one H2O molecule in the saliva in your mouth reveals this truth.…
