Some more bad noises today on the melting Arctic: “And it is really in the past 20 years that the warming signal from that region has been just stunning,” he added. “All of Baffin Island is melting, and we expect all of the ice caps to eventually disappear, even if there is no additional warming.” Hottest…
(Illustration: Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa‘ found here). Our little blue planet is mostly covered in water, and mostly salt water — 72 percent of the planet’s surface is salt water found in oceans and seas. I grew up on what was called a gulf, the Gulf of Mexico, but in reality it’s all…
Foggy and quiet this early Sunday — California’s north coast right now in the faint light is enveloped in a deep-gray moist of a morning. And not to mention, way-gothic. Fits the mood all-around. I’m pretty-much tired of horrific, or near-horrific accidents involving fossil fuels, and there seems to be one every few days — the…
Clear skies this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast as we sprint toward a rendezvous with an apparent natural-formed insanity. Sweet Harry Reid last night: “We hope with good fortune and the support of all you (senators) — recognizing how hard this is for everybody — that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day.” Yeah,…
Clear and a bit on the chilly side this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we addle on toward the weekend — which isn’t really anything other than a two-day work shutdown. And, by the way, a longer version is saddled upon the US right now — officially in the 10th day of hating…
Clear and windy this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast as we continue on down the path toward a mega-not-magnanimous disaster — nine days within a vat of stupid. Top-hat John Boehner is crying President Obama and Democrats are attempting to “annihilate us” Republicans, though, he and his nasty-faced buddies are making a most-creative effort…
(Illustration: ‘Sunset Over the Arctic‘ found here). Odd the weather here this Saturday afternoon along California’s north coast — crystal-clear, and for this late in the day, still way-warm at 76 degrees, seemingly a stock-weather feature for this past week. First, a bite-like cold in the morning, but fairly-quickly switching on the warm-up button by…
Once again, crystal-clear skies this early Friday (whoopee!) and it’s on to the weekend — can’t come fast enough. And if you have been aware/understand anything at all about climate change, and have some walking-around sense, the new report due today from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should come as no real surprise —…
Under the news layers, another slice of possible horror from the never-ending terror-tale of the Fukushima nuclear plant — this time the possible extraction of 1300 spent fuel rods from Unit 4: Conditions in the unit 4 pool, 100 feet from the ground, are perilous, and if any two of the rods touch it could cause…
Overcast and cool this way-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and if the last few days are any indication, the weather up here is returning to its normal mode of cool damp. We’re coming off the most-extended warming period I’ve experienced since moving up here more than six years ago. A feel for the future.…
