Climate Change Media Coverage a Gas

Continuous rain this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast, and cold, too. Also been a way-quick, rabid-dog work week — time flies in a shit-storm. Impact of the T-Rump-mega-dominated news cycle — media has essentially stopped covering climate change. A new report released yesterday: ‘The results are pretty grim: Compared to 2015, the networks collectively decreased…

Hot Ocean

Sparkling sunshine and warming-up temperatures this Monday morning on California’s north coast — the NWS forecast for today is ‘Mostly Sunny,’ tomorrow, ‘Partly Sunny,’ at least keeping some bright alive. Buried beneath the ear-piercing, distracting white noise oozing from the infected bowels of the T-Rump, new research indicating our oceans are warming faster than anticipated —…

Blowing Smoke

Drizzling rain and chilly this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, another day to weather in the life of our climate. Supposedly a break coming starting tomorrow — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, fairly-dry conditions should be in place until at least the first of next week. We’ll see… And of our environment, the…

Spring-Up Early

Fog-gray overcast this mid-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, ebbing on through a short-dry period in this way-wet season — next rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon. Supposedly, an early spring this year, but even with a hearty-welcomed arrival of pleasant weather, a heavy caveat. Although officially the season changes in less than three weeks —…

The Old-New ‘Meth’

Gray-overcast and cold this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as a ‘atmospheric river event‘ is supposedly coming later today. Seemingly, we’re living a nightmare-360 scenario — according to a new study, methane (CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas, a contributor to climate change (more potent greenhouse gas, trapping 28 times more heat than CO2), is…

‘Global warming and “an extraordinary departure from the norm”’

Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…

More CO2

Further details on that CO2 item I mentioned in the post earlier today — kind of a landmark, break-point. Per the Guardian: In 2015, for the first time, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were at 400 parts per million (ppm) on average across the year as a whole, the World Meteorological Organisation’s (WMO) annual…

Autumn in the Greenhouse

Overcast with an occasional glare of sunlight this early Thursday on California’s north coast, with most-likely the continuing scenario of near-clear skies this afternoon. We’ve a decent chance of rain tomorrow, but probably not… Today also kicks off the fall season — the Autumnal Equinox — and although we’re forecast for cooler temperatures than normal, the…

‘Overshoot’

Patchy fog this Monday morning on California’s north coast, yet on occasion, sunshine makes half-hearted attempts to slice through the gray, but mostly haphazard at best — might clear before noon maybe. Unless something weird occurs, we should end up with another pleasant day along the shoreline, and somewhat cooler temperatures inland, opposed to the…
