    Modest Proposals for Curbing Climate-Change Acceleration

    It will be better for humans and the planet if we adopt these relatively modest actions now, rather than when our prospects are dimmed.

    Peace, Even as the World Burns

    I wish I, too, could live and let live when it comes to global warming and the accelerating climate crisis.

    Leave The Leaves

    Leaving them on the ground is good for a yard ecosystem and is a positive step in fighting climate change. Removing them sucks and blows.

    The North Dakota GOP is throwing a fossil-fuel tantrum. The state’s citizens shouldn’t put up with it.

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.
    Here's a great definition from Introvert, Dear.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
