America is the number one polluter and biggest contributor to global warming. We emit more fossil fuels into the atmosphere than any other country in the world!

I don't have a problem with cliimate change. I do, however, have a real problem with those that have created a business for themselves out of scaring people half to death about something we can have very little, if any, real impact on.
I recently finished writing an interesting article for the winter 2009 issue of LuxuryRealEstate.com Magazine. The article is on "green" homes, and it was a challenge to write, mainly because I have a number of concerns about the current global-warming scare. I was able to find a lot of good in … (2 comments)
The Great Wall Street Debacle vs. The Great Global Warming Consensus
Nominate a war hero, senior senator known for effectiveness and consensus building across the aisles and send him forth to do election battle against a younger, eminently slicker candidate who can really wind em up with his stump speeches that don't say anything but make ‘em smile all the way to … (11 comments)
I'm longing for the Good Old Days. No not the days of my youth, the good old days of a few thousand years ago. This may sound strange coming from a North Dakota boy but I thrive on HOT weather. As far as I know today may be the hottest day … (5 comments)
In a landmark decision, California became the first state in the country to approve green building standards. In Matthew Yi’s excellent San Francisco Chronicle article, the new green building standards will
I just watched President Bush's address that announced that he was lifting the executive order that stood prohibiting off-shore drilling. During his speech he made statements and gave figures that might make people believe that drilling off of our shores would bring gasoline prices down.

Oil, runs it all, don't let anyone fool you. It runs it all. Many economists say it is not the same as the 70's. Well as you will find if you read my blog, nothing is ever exactly the same. That's what makes it challenging to follow. Yes, it is … (1 comments)
The title sums up what I have to say on this topic. Additionally, this is quite unusual for me to touch upon politics except when it pretty much immediately relates to real estate. Part of my writing this article is two-fold. Firstly, because the idea itself is abhorrent to me. And … (14 comments)
Global Warming Replaces 9/11 As Govt's Justification To Do Anything
I did my normal thing yesterday to start the day. I turned on the shower. Was it my imagination, or was there no hot water? It was NOT my imagination. There was NO hot water.

I read an Associated Press story in USA Today this morning regarding global warming. The article quotes Tom Knutson, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the federal government, who states that global warming is actually reducing the number of hurricanes. Another quote in the article attributes "the recent … (10 comments)
Live effects of Global warming...crazy that this is happening before our eyes...
Maybe...just maybe if the govenment lifted some regulatory burdens temporarily or delayed the 'global warming act' just temporarily it could create fiscal stimulus far beyond what Bernanke and the Fed can't seem to get done...
My guest last Saturday on The Simon Conway Radio Experience, was author Iain Murray. He has just written "the Really Inconvenient Truths" which is an excellent read and I strongly reccomend it. In addition to that, he has written an essay on 25 inconvenient truths that Al Gore decided not to … (10 comments)
Recent survey research shows people are looking to incorporate more environmentally friendly technologies into their everyday lives and into their homes due to the effects of global warming and out of control gas prices, among many other things. Home energy saving is a lot easier than most people think and the … (2 comments)
I was teaching a class last night at church and everyone was in the "sharing" mood so we shared. One of the guys told us about a discussion he was a part of where one guy was trying to prove global warming.
The Real Estate market is near it's bottom, and global warming has started cooling. But, both truths are inconvenient for mainstream US media. Real Estate prices have moved into ranges that many investors see as "the bottom", or at least close enough to start buying. And home owners are still moving … (2 comments)
What were Al Gore, Rev. Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson all doing in Virginia Beach last week? (Well, we know what Pat Robertson was doing). Well believe it or not they were making a commercial against global warning. All three got together at 57th street at the beach and made it … (6 comments)
You've gotta love Al Gore and his crowd. Their still screaming to the world that we're using up our earth's resources, and we're doomed to be cooked in our own juices. But a number of these same avowed carbon footprint advocates are themselves glorified abusers of everything they claim is wrong … (20 comments)

You may not have even heard of an energy audit. But surely you've heard that the price of a barrel of oil has reached $111 dollars give or take a dollar or two. And of course you know that the polar ice caps are melting, and that the US alone accounts … (1 comments)
So...I know I'm behind the times in watching movies etc. Our family is always on the run so we seem to watch the latest and greatest movies about 6 months after everyone else. 
My wife brought up in conversation last night that she had recently heard about the retreating glaciers on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.

Magnificent historical artifacts are showing up on Oregon beaches. Why? There is a good explanation.
OK, so this isn't exactly real estate or title-related. Humor me. Today, I was reading this blog on the science website dailytech.com that confirmed what I've suspected all along: that solar activity has more to do with global climate change than human activity. It just doesn't make sense--on one hand, we're told, in the … (0 comments)

It is almost enough to make a person disbelieve in global warming. The winter of 2007/2008 seems like it will never end. Here, in Northern Illinois we have gotten extreme cold temperatures, then snow, then thawing, then more snow. It makes showing real estate real difficult. When taking buyers out, I've had to plod … (5 comments)
A friend just forwarded this to me and it's a pretty interesting short quiz. It's only 10 questions, very educational - please read them carefully. The answers and explanations may surprise you.

"Coma State"....ever heard of it?...that's right if we do not do something to help preserve our resources...that is exactly what could happen to the human race. While some question global warming...the signs are there...
Anyone who's not been hiding under a rock for the past several years knows that there's a great debate over global warming - does it exist, or doesn't it? There's so much propaganda flying around, and so much information to find, never mind process, that it boggles the mind. Add to … (11 comments)
Here are some tips on how to "go green" and help the earth just a little bit more. Every little bit counts and anything you can do to help will help in the long run. Of course, the more you do, the better for everyone.

Are we living in a state of fear? I think that generally, we are. "Global warming". It's not PC to even question somebody whe they speak about global warming as if it is fact.

I was so excited when I heard that President Bush signed into law this month, legislation that will bring more fuel-efficient vehicles into auto showrooms and require wider use of ethanol, calling it "a major step" toward energy independence and easing global warming. The legislation signed by Bush at a ceremony … (7 comments)
Those of you that know me, you know that I believe that the topics of Green go much further than Global Warming. It seems that the term Global Warming tends to make many people oppose the idea of Going Green, being better stewards of the Earth, etc. 
Every little bit helps, I do not charge my cell phone from an outlet. I only use my solio solar charger or charge off my car battery. I know it's not much but it's a start.
Hello my Fellow Realtors! This is a late fall, early winter update from the beautiful Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana.

It's getting later and later each year that we see our first snowfall, today is our … (0 comments)
wow I commented on some comments on my blog and it looked like spam to active rain.
Two months ago my house became free of the old incandescent, energy sapping light bulbs. I wasn't particularly sure that I'd see a huge savings in my electric bill, but hey, CFL's are more environmentally friendly and they put out less heat than the old bulbs, so it was a no … (17 comments)

Someone ask me today that since I am a Certified EcoBroker, if that means that now I'm an extreme environmentalist??

You don't know it yet but this is a discussion about property values, fear, and the advice I didn't take from my Lakewood-area REALTOR® all those years ago.

In my South Tampa home, we have a new rule...no passing gas! The man of the house isn't too happy about it, but it is a must. He says..."it doesn't smell"...but that's the silent but deadly part. There is no smell. 
In an effort to address the demand for more eco-friendly homes in Minnesota, a new innovative program of certification and standards has been established. It is the Minnesota GreenStar program - look for the this logo when touring new homes.
Everyone has on opinion about what constitutes "green". Many people know about global warming and have decided, without much thought or research, who they want to blame and what they think can fix it. Many people say that only private business can turn things around. They believe that corporations were the … (0 comments)
Global warming is no longer a speculative term, and in order to correct our environment, we all need to pitch in. Remember, you eat an elephant a bite at a time, and if we all take little bites out of our carbon dioxide usage, we're bound to have an effect. National … (1 comments)
A friend recently sent me a link to what's being called the "World Clock." (You can view it yourself by clicking on the picture in this post.)

I was sitting on a deck of a bay-front home in North Wildwood last weekend just watching the water and the boats when I got a thought of how I act on vacation. Not the social behavior stuff but how am I watching my impact on the area.
