War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the current stock of things this Monday afternoon — like Greece. Today the CDC put Greece and 15 other countries on a “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High” shit list for Americans to travel due to the surge of the Delta variant, while at the same time, Greece itself is in a weather meltdown. Climate change…
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…
In seemingly a preview to the near future, Joe Biden in aviator shades and cracking wise, test drove an electric truck today during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan — net-zero emissions the key also today in a landmark climate report making it clear fossil fuels have no place in humans surviving climate…
Topsy-turvey life this Saturday afternoon as we face problems from various fronts, including directly overhead. Last week, China launched a Long March 5B rocket carrying a big piece of that country’s next space station, but the 23-ton core stage has been losing altitude since and will soon make what is called “uncontrolled re-entry” back to…
A crisis even beyond the COVID pandemic is climate change, and the struggle with controlling the virus is a startling preview to action on the horrid effects already present off global warming, though, the real horrible shit is still to come — the New York Times yesterday ventured a look at the connection: The stark…
Beyond the knotty dung-drops happening right now — another shooting, closing arguments in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, Republicans whining about Maxine Waters talking truth, a drone flight on Mars, and so forth — a major event in the battle against climate change happens this week when the world is supposed to come together to…
If the wordage, ‘Before Times,’ has become a catch-pin for life prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, from all indications it could also come to include the period in the next generation or so. The twin beasts of the T-Rump and the coronavirus coming together have fostered a grim future, at least according…
Anyone who does any driving — Before Times and the COVID pandemic, of course — can see our roadways, bridges and assorted, related structures are shot-to-shit and have been in crappy-dangerous condition for a long time. In fact, you have to go back 65 years to the last activity with our transportation/electrical grid complex and…
One of the top-notch items on President Joe Biden’s agenda is a return full-steam to addressing climate change, which under T-Rump was not just put on a back burner, but tossed-off the stove completely. In November, Biden named John Kerry to head the assault, making the move even more serious by creating for Kerry a…
A major environmental report largely ignored — methane is an air bitch: from ScienceAlert yesterday on a new study published in Nature: Methane is an ‘invisible climate menace’ — roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapper than carbon dioxide — and while some of this atmospheric gas is produced naturally, new research indicates humans are…
