War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Warm and near-comfortable this Monday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley as climate’s weather plays games. The dry-red air present the last few days from the state’s wildfires has lessened a good bit and the heat feels near-about normal, whatever the shit ‘normal‘ is nowadays. Climate change currently is front and center, too, mainly due…
Another brown-tinted environment this mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley, painted with way-faded yellow sunshine, mingled in with a thin-overcast layer of a hazel-colored sky. Air-breathing outside literally sucks: Our region still looks like Mars and smells like burnt wood, maybe/probably due to all those freaking fires — from The Fresno Bee yesterday afternoon…
Some more environmental shit this afternoon as climate change continues unabated — similar to COVID at a Texas Republican fundraiser — and the endgame worse. (Illustration found here). Odd events weather/climate-wise seem to be taking place way-more often than not — first-time shit has become the norm. Rain in never-before places — from CNN this…
A brownish, dystopian environmental ambiance this Thursday morning in California’s Central Valley as apparently the wildfires rampaging statewide is worsening human/animal sight and breathing conditions. I took my daughter’s basset hound/greyhound mix, Leroy, for our normal walk earlier and it appears large noses can be an even worse indicator of bad air quality — he…
Some news be good today: Rescuers on Tuesday pulled 16 people out alive from rubble in Brefèt, a town in Les Cayes in the Southern department, three days after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the area, according to Haiti’s Civil Protection agency. The newest latest Axios/Ipsos poll shows most Americans might be near-sane: Two-thirds (64-percent) support…
Environmental news seems to pop up in the afternoons lately, and today was no exception — hot records melting in the heat: According to data released today by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, last month was not only the hottest July, but also ‘earned the unenviable distinction as the world’s hottest month ever recorded,’…
As we blunder toward the end of another work week, the climate of human society sucks through a way-small straw. If we can’t even get a portion of Americans to adopt way-obvious, life-saving methods to end/slow-down a horrible, deadly pandemic, how in the shit can we get these same assholes to help take action against…
Heavy-heat again this Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, though, we’re not sweltering alone — seemingly the whole freaking world is boiling. The Pacific Northwest and BC Canada are catching the top-crust warmth with another ‘heat-dome attack‘ driving temperatures to massive heights, while seemingly near-in concert, another ‘dome’ act is scorching the eastern US,…
Some tib-bits of crazy this Monday afternoon and the seemingly random chorus of an urgent hint of deadly danger: And of Emily Miller, thus: ‘The ousted spokeswoman, Emily Miller, had little experience in health care. She had spent years working in Washington for Republicans, including the former Texas Congressman Tom DeLay and Senator Ted Cruz…
(Illustration found at NASA: A supercomputer model in 2015 created the above simulation of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and portends the ghastly, horrible, monstrous-looking results if this shit continues). Six years ago, the world maybe still had a chance to shift from the worst aspects of climate change, but now the sense is the…
