Unsettled Science

     "Unsettled" by Stephen Koonin is a thought-provoking and timely book that delves into the complexities of climate change and its broader impact on society. Koonin, a renowned physicist and former top Department of Energy official, challenges the prevailing narrative surrounding climate change, offering a fresh perspective backed by scientific evidence and rigorous analysis.

    In "Unsettled," Koonin confronts the commonly held assumptions and alarmist claims about global warming. He argues that while climate change is indeed occurring, the current discourse often exaggerates the severity and certainty of its consequences. Drawing on extensive research and data, Koonin presents a nuanced view of climate science, encouraging readers to critically assess the available information rather than succumbing to fear-driven narratives.

    The book tackles a range of climate-related topics, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and the influence of greenhouse gas emissions. Koonin dismantles misconceptions and highlights the uncertainties and limitations within climate models, underlining the inherent challenges of predicting complex natural systems.

    Moreover, "Unsettled" explores the role of politics, media, and vested interests in shaping public perception and policy responses to climate change. Koonin raises concerns about the polarization of the climate debate and calls for a more balanced and rational approach to addressing environmental issues.

    While some may find Koonin's views controversial, the book provides an essential counterbalance to prevailing narratives and a pathway for fostering productive discussions about climate change. "Unsettled" challenges readers to think critically, engage in evidence-based dialogues, and seek common ground in shaping sustainable solutions for our planet's future.

    In essence, "Unsettled" is a captivating and intellectually stimulating exploration of climate science, policy, and the social dynamics surrounding one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Koonin's expertise and meticulous analysis make this book an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of climate change and its profound impact on humanity.

Navigating Education Budget Challenges: Act 60, Taxpayer Trust, and Continuous Improvement

Image
       Vermont’s Act 60, passed in 1997, sought to make education funding more equitable across school districts through a statewide property tax system. Over 75% of school budgets now come from local property taxes. While well-intentioned, implementation of Act 60 funding formulas cultivates a temporal disconnect: towns and school boards can vote to increase spending without constituents feeling immediate tax consequences. This accountability gap has precipitated year-over-year increases in education budgets often exceeding inflation and economic growth, despite steady decreases in student populations. The unfortunate budget Vote-to-Tax gap fosters a unique dynamic: Taxpayers rarely trace rising tax burdens directly back to specific prior-year school budget decisions. This reduces voter agency and perceived value from their tax dollars. School boards experience psychological distance from tax implications their budget votes ultimately trigger . This can promote over...

Property Tax Reform for School Funding - Should VT Go Hybrid?

Image
  Rethinking Vermont's School Funding Approach Vermont currently funds K-12 education through a mix of statewide and local property taxes. About two-thirds of the $1.6 billion yearly total comes from homeowners via tax rates and formulas set at the state level. This convoluted system aims to equalize spending across districts, but creates confusion on how increasing revenues tie to per-pupil funding and outcomes. Property tax bills also provide income-based credits for affordability, but these credits lag behind current year taxes owed. This mismatch leaves many families unaware of what drives changing tax burdens. As wages and budgets feel squeezed by taxes going up faster than incomes, public trust in the school funding model has eroded.  Click here for the Joint Fiscal Office Brief on Property Tax Credit There are better approaches. Several states predominantly allocate operational funding to     schools through state income or sales taxes. Others ...

Balancing Priorities: Why We Can't Afford Tunnel Vision on Climate Change

Image
As a conservative, it's natural for concern regarding the resources of our planet.  The narrow discussion around environmental issues focusing on climate change loses focus on other pressing issues.  Systems theory highlights that one input to a system cannot be discounted nor solely blamed on an outcome....but the media hyper focus on emissions loses sight of other pressing environmental challenges that have profound impacts on the health of our ecosystems and communities.  The current scale and pace of environmental degradation is truly unprecedented - and much of it has nothing to do with greenhouse gas emissions despite the political landscape. Plastics & Toxins      Take the issue of plastic pollution, for instance. Our oceans are now awash with trillions of pieces of microplastic. These tiny plastic particles find their way into the food chain, with untold consequences for marine life and human health.  When was the last time you walked the s...
