Looking at the High Knob Peak on Christmas Day 2022

The Appalachian Climate Center is currently a parked
research site, but it will occasionally provide some
useful real-time information.

I continue doing climate and complex systems research centered on the High Knob Massif and its extended landform, as illustrated by a few of these photographic views.

The High Knob Landform remains my active website.

I am currently writing books, following graduate school, to detail my extensive research across the past 34 years.

These books will document the Climate System, featuring six highly interconnected system components:

Atmosphere
Biosphere
Cryosphere
Hydrosphere
Lithosphere
Anthroposphere

My field research has taught me that the fundamental problem today is not climate change, but instead it is the manner in which humans think about themselves.

Because humans and nature are exactly equivalent, made up of exactly the same particles, there is no basis in referring to them as separate entities within this wondrous Climate (Earth) System.

Big problems arise when the science around climate change becomes corrupted by  monetary and political interests.  When people suffer, the System suffers because there is absolutely no difference between them.

Even without any climate change the fundamental problems impacting Earth would remain, mandating different ways of thinking about this issue.

Climate change is real and it is a problem with respect to human actions that must be addressed, but there is no data supported climate crisis or climate emergency (*).

*If there is, show the data.  Where are the data to support these claims?  They do not exist and no place in the 2021 IPCC Climate Report does it declare a climate crisis or climate emergency.  Where are these declarations coming from?  Who is the source of these false claims?  Claims which are mentally harmful to developing children and get in the way of solving the true problems.  Claims which are making poor people worse off and increasing environmental degradation.  How can this be? Because nothing good can ever come from false claims.  Think!

 It is time for honesty.  It is time to rid science of big money and corruption.  It is time to stop chasing grants to support narrow agendas.  It is time to return to the basics and teach the complete story of climate and climate change.
