War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Mid-summer’s nightmare as heat and fire together in a deadly, dangerous mix — in California, the McKinney fire near the Oregon border has burned 56,000 acres and killed four people so far, further north in Washington and Oregeon, a massive heat wave which killed more than a dozen recedes a bit up there to move…
Our environment here this late-afternoon Sunday in California’s Central Valley is the future of the right now — musty hot with a forest-fire tinge of burnt wood. In the real scheme of things, despite some heavy shit scattered over a wide subject area, our biggest, most-hugest problem is climate change. A crisis seemingly moving slow,…
Even just a couple of days after the Senate’s Manchin/Schumer spending agreement which included $370-billion to fight climate change (weirdly also called for increased lease sales on federal land for oil and gas drilling), coal — the biggest CO2 emitter — is still a major problem to combating the worse aspects of climate change. A…
Once again a blowback to asshole Republicans on Capitol Hill and their nasty, cruel approach to everything was on display this morning — in the shadow of the Manchin/Schumer agreement from yesterday, Senate GOPers retaliated and voted against much-needed health care for America’s military veterans, acting the spoiled-baby bitch. Just to show that petty, asshole…
Topping off the news cycle this Wednesday seems to be the Joe Manchin/Chuck Schumer agreement in the Senate for a big, breakthrough bill for climate and health care — and if it does make it past Republicans and signed into law, it would indeed be a BFD. The Manchin reversal shocker knocked T-Rump’s ramped-up DOJ…
Not-so-bad heat near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — almost pleasant you could say without being a sarcastic asshole. We’re forecast for a high of under 100 degrees today, so that’s the good news around these parts. And for them parts farther north where another deadly, mean-ass heat wave across the Northwest, where air…
Heat is increasing near noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we might hit triple-digits later this afternoon, but the air right now seems to be getting hotter by the hour. However, just another day in a long string of such days where temperatures have remained in the 100-plus range and the ambiance is…
Another melting-away heat episode this near mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, with sunshine full-on hot and temperatures slated for triple-digits. Although it’s already hot as shit, we’re not alone as waves of unprecedented high temps are spiking across the globe in a fierce display on the cutting edge of a way-sweaty-steamy future for…
Along with earth experiencing blistering heat coming from a blistering sun, some more ugly news might also be on the agenda today with a possible major solar flare/storm striking our planet, hopefully, low on the danger zone with maybe some device disruptions and some great night skies. Although it’s pointed toward today it could happen…
Just to keep the weather again in the forefront with news items displaying climate change exacerbating our overheating planet meteorology. The truth is shit-scary: Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at UCL and a climate activist, in an op/ed at the Guardian this afternoon — if you think it’s hot now, just…
