War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Low, thick, gray clouds and cold air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley – once again we’re awaiting another ‘atmospheric river‘ (AR) to come crashing onto us, bringing rain and more rain. Expected beginning maybe tomorrow evening through Monday morning, the incoming AR is reportedly way bigger than last Wednesday/Thursday’s episode. Although we…
(Image/illustration found here.) Sunshine and seemingly not-so-chilled wind this Wednesday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley — a respite from the cold rain and fog we’ve been experiencing the last month of so. Despite the calendar time gap, I’m ready/wanting some heat. And in connection with the word, ‘heat,’ today another piece-of-shit climate-change news, and…
A wet-gray and cold late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Although kind of nasty outside, it’s nothing compared to a giant chunk of the US right now, from super-freezing snow storms in the midwest to tornadoes in the south — the weather’s shitty all over. Americans seem aware that despite the winter conditions, climate…
In a short space this early-evening Monday, let’s momentarily (if we can) escape from the American political/culturally highly-disenfranchised diarrhea of news and focus maybe on an even bigger issue that is coming at us fairly quickly — climate change. Pretty much already known information there’s a 100 percent chance 2023 will be the hottest-ever: NOAA…
As we start Thanksgiving week this Monday morning in the US, the world is on the edge of shit-storming climate change seemingly barreling out of control without much reactions — UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns: ‘“Present trends are racing our planet down a dead-end 3C temperature rise. This is a failure of leadership, a betrayal…
Bright sunshine coupled with temperatures in the high 90s this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re apparently experiencing a seemingly out-of-the-blue shot of summer for the next couple of days — after a mild early autumn the last few weeks we were jolted back into hot-heat yesterday (temps in the low 90s)…
Another bright end to another weekend this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’ve been fortunate beyond belief the past few weeks as storms struck right, left and all across the globe. Still, we are so far in a quiet, warm autumn. Weather is hugely location-based — at least for the time being.…
Comfortable warmth in bright sunshine this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a nice niche point on livable weather on a livable planet. However, maybe not for long. A new, scary study/assessment published today at Science Advances makes the case that a dangerous, accelerating worldwide climate warming isn’t the only really bad environmental…
Bright sunshine with comfortable temperatures a few minutes past the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — again, a nice ending to a rather nice work week as we stagger into the autumn season. And according to a UN report out today, we’re more than staggering into bad climate-change times if mankind doesn’t…
Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…
