Genius in rhythm and time — saw this earlier today at Miss Cellania‘s and it’s one of those can’t-look-away thingies: Now, guaranteed to bring you right back down — weather-impacts off climate change are being experienced worldwide, and maybe escalating, too. Not only out here in the West with our ‘heat domes,’ but also with…
Cool and nice (relatively-speaking) this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we once again head into the weekend — seems like just Monday yesterday, time flies whether you’re having fun or not. During my scrolling earlier, I came across a pair of interviews already from today at Democracy Now! that seemed to zero-in…
Some more climate-related news this Wednesday afternoon, and as such with the normal, seems like more bad news for the planet — and a quicker-major increase of CO2 into the air: Evidence collected in the study was historic — using two sets of measurement gauges, one on the ground, and another taken by airplane, and…
In surfing the InterWebs this afternoon, scrolling across news stories on Joe Biden’s speech, COVID anti-vaxxers, Texas Demo legislators fleeing the state to keep Repubs from choking-to-death the right to vote, a new T-Rump book revealing he’s an even worse piece-of-shit/asshole then we all thought (shock!), along with numerous other headline items, I ventured onto…
A bit cooler than ‘normal‘ this late-morning Monday here in California’s Central Valley, though, we’re scheduled for triple-digit temperatures again today, it’s off the full-blown crazy of this past weekend. Supposedly, we’re on a downward slide from this particular ‘mega-heat-wave’ with temps set for the low 90s by Friday, but back up for Saturday and…
Another post of weather and climate, brought-on this time by forecasts for my little bit of ground here in California’s Central Valley to undergo maybe a ‘sun’s anvil‘ facsimile of mega-hot days, and, shit-on-a-stick, will aparently start tomorrow. Triple-digit temperatures are charted upward starting Thursday (104-degrees), Friday and Saturday (110), to Sunday apex of 113-degrees,…
Despite a wide range of events/subjects playing out on this federal-holiday Monday afternoon, one item related to climate change caught my eye during InterWeb surfing — ‘doom-scrolling‘ called by some — and is within context of how our warming environment will eventually create an uninhabitable setting near-immediately for most living things, incuding humans. Invoke a…
Weather and climate continue to be a major news items — today it’s Storm Surge Watches for SW Florida off the approaching Tropical Storm Elsa, weather wise — and reports how a changing, warming climate is freaking out the weather. Difference between weather and climate? Easy — according to the NOAA: ‘Think about it this…
(Illustration: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here). Hot and dry this Saturday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, and though it’s warm, it’s nothing like the last week or so. Outside it’s even comfortable, but I should enjoy it while I can, forecasts for the temperature-burners to be lit-up again starting next…
One continuing reflected aspect of the boiling-over heat wave that placed a ‘dome’ of suffering over the US Northwest and Canada the past week is that climate change is real, here right now, and bad as shit: In Canada, great heat is an oddity, a situation that’s dangerously changing — from CBC News this morning:…
