On Global Warming and Climate Change: Fallacy or Fact?
The title is a little misleading. After all, very few scientists deny that it’s happening. In the past decade we’ve experienced the ten warmest years since 1850. I want to be 100% clear about the purpose of this article right from the outset: Human beings have accelerated climate change. The rate of temperature increase is astonishing and utterly unique in the paleoclimatology record. There’s no doubt at all. Even from a passive observer’s opinion, the winters are vastly warmer than several decades ago. Things have indeed changed, and my point is that you don’t have to be a scientist to see that it’s happening/happened.

TSJ Talks Inspirations for The War Beneath
When I was a teenager, I read a lot of 1950s Science Fiction. It was the tail end of the “Golden Age of Science Fiction.” Asimov, Pohl, Heinlein, del Rey and more. I fell in love with the genre because of those books. They sparked my imagination and took me to fascinating locations in futuristic settings. The stakes were always huge. It’s those books that really taught me how important YA Science Fiction is. Readers get hooked on the genre early; it’s what happened to me.

John Carpenter’s Contribution to Speculative and Science Fiction Redux*
John Carpenter is my favorite director.
I think that’s pretty obvious if you’re familiar with my blog, Life After Gateway. My post “The Greatest Trifectas in Film History” made it clear that I believe him to be a visionary director whose massive appeal in the SF genre is on par with Cameron, Spielberg, and Abrams.
