Activist and photographer Kenneth Burridge was told by a coffee shop and art gallery owner Rick Caspersen that his art exhibition featuring shots of Occupy Brisbane and Climate Change protesters were not welcome on their gallery walls. The owner of the Loading Dock Espresso coffee shop and gallery located at 2 Edmondstone Street, in South [Continue]
I spent the afternoon getting acquainted with the friendly, peaceful and very organized Occupy Brisbane folks. As of 24th of October, 2011 there are currently about 75 people camping out at Post Office Square right across from the Central Train Station in the Brisbane CBD. The Occupy Brisbane group is comprised of all ages [Continue]
The quiet invasion of the world by electric vehicles is being welcomed by many that are tired of paying the big oil man at the pump or with their tax dollars via subsidizes to the oil and gas industry. Many understand that they are also paying for their oil habit with shorter life spans due [Continue]
Kenneth Burridge (Editor-in-Chief of EV.com) talks about myths and facts relating to: Global Warming, Climate Change and the Climate Crisis. One of my pet peeves in this world is misinformation. I won’t point fingers at any one particular News Corporation (this time) for purposely misleading the public to perhaps sell more papers, maintain market share, [Continue]

Climate Change Myth #009: “Humans are rather insignificant when compared to the size of the planet and thus really can’t cause changes.” This was easily true at one time, but since 1800 the human population has increased by six times and the global economy has increased by a factor of 50. That economic increase has [Continue]
Climate Change Myth #010: “Just like in a glass of ice tea–melting ice from global warming won’t raise the ocean levels.” Other related comments include “Ocean levels won’t rise, since frozen water takes up more space than liquid water, so when the ice melts at the poles it should actually reduce sea levels.” Rush Limbaugh, [Continue]
Sorry I must respond to Rush Limbaugh comments about the Chevy Volt and Climate Change. Actually I didn’t want to respond and possibly give Rush Limbaugh any sort of additional publicity for any reason because around here the less said or heard about him constitutes a better way of living. However, when the host of [Continue]
Obviously the Climate & Carbon Crisis is much larger than some people would care to admit. Note this photo IS to scale and comes courtesy of NASA. With luck this picture will serve as a wake up call and help put the Climate & Carbon crisis into proper perspective. The ice on the North [Continue]
