Not an unpleasant late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley as temperatures are in the low 90s, and a gentle breeze even softens the air. Especially refreshing after a week’s worth of triple-digit heat — nice is way-better than shitty. Speaking also of maybe not so shitty, about this time back in DC the Senate…
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…
