Peer-Reviewed Paper: The Means by Which COVID-19 Could Cause Extinction of All Life on Earth
In mid-July 2020, I was asked to submit a paper to the peer-reviewed, open-access journal Environmental Analysis & Ecology Studies. I submitted a draft later that evening based on my previous work in this space.
I received comments from reviewers on 2 August 2020, and promptly submitted a revised version of the paper. It was subsequently accepted: “The Means by Which COVID-19 Could Cause Extinction of All Life on Earth” was published on 7 August 2020 (pdf).
I have earned no money, nor will I earn money, for this article. However, there were no page charges attendant to having this paper published. The journal is charging no fees for articles it accepts on the topic of COVID-19. I explained the process of peer review in this space more than two years ago.
Special Notification:
The 57-acre homestead I occupied in western Belize has been re-listed for sale (click here for listing). My partner, who owns the property, must spend time with her family in Florida. She is selling the homestead at a monetary loss to be closer to her family.

Mugs, tote bags, iPhone cases, tee shirts, and other pragmatic goods affiliated with the latter book, and with NBL in general, are available on Redbubble. I do not earn money from these items. Indeed, they have returned far less money than it cost to create and distribute them. I list them at the bottom of posts in this space in support of my artistically inclined partner, who created them.
