The reader is invited to consume this work of nonfiction with a mind open to the new idea that global environmentalism has devolved into Ecopolitics as a partisan political special interest in the 21st Century. Sadly, consensus science that solves real environmental problems has been replaced with pernicious political propaganda and demagoguery. And, the cost-benefit analyses necessary for prioritizing and solving environmental problems goes unmentioned in the issues of global climate change - unmentioned because such analyses are incalculable in today's knowledge of climate science.This book is a rational synthesis of the massive, and often contradictory, volumes of information on global warming and climate change. This book cites numerous contemporary and credible experts on the issues of climate science and climate policy for a balanced assessment. The Author has dedicated his life to understanding and communicating the complexities, interrelationships, politics, sciences, economics and global significance manifested in environmental matters. Mr. Taylor has authored two prior book: "Green Gone Wrong" and "Climate of Ecopolitics."

Our genome has not changed in over 45,000 years, but the world has changed enormously and there are multiple mismatches with modern life. Homo sapiens evolved and thrived because we hunted down prey with the tools we made, ate a range of natural foods from the environment and led highly physical lives necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies and brains. Now, most of us spend most of our day sitting on our backsides, and more than 50% of our diet is made up of ultra-processed foods that hijack our brains' rewards systems while making us overweight and sick.Exposure to cold and heat caused our ancestors to upregulate critical stress response genes, which made us more resilient. Now, our thermoneutral environments are making us soft.We used to live in small tribal communities where everyone had a role and purpose. Now we are digitally connected and physically disconnected.Modern humans are the most overweight, depressed, medicated and addicted cohort of adults that has ever lived, yet life has never been so good!Backed by powerful research, Death by Comfort explores exactly what's wrong and what we need to do in order to survive and thrive in the modern world.

In the mid-1990s, the Onondaga Central Tigers were on the brink of extinction.Contemplating retirement, coach Paul Taylor faced the low point of his career. After years of decline, the football program at Onondaga Central High School in Upstate New York had so few eligible players that they couldn't finish the season. It took grit, commitment, and inspired leadership for the team just to hang on and start the long climb back.And then, in 2000, the miracle they needed arrived: an undersized ninth-grade transfer who already had a reputation as a standout running back-Michael Hart. Seven years later, Hart was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a contender for the Heisman Trophy, college football's most coveted award.Through the eyes of Hart's coach and mentor, When Tigers Streak follows the young running back as he sets more than a dozen state and national records during a stunning high school career. Along with Hart's rise, the memoir chronicles a coach's path from despair to victory, the resurgence of a football program in a tight-knit blue-collar community, and the individual triumphs, heartbreaks, and tragedies that unfold along the way. When Tigers Streak makes a case for Michael Hart as the greatest running back in the history of high school football-and serves as an inspirational tale for any young athletes aspiring to be their best.
