Blowhard-House Effect — Climate Change Cowplop

Bright sunshine for a change this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and supposedly we’re in for some ‘good-as-it-gets’ weather for the next few days, minus, of course, the shoreline fog-bank, and those gusty and chilled ocean breezes. Yesterday, orange-tinged “shit stain” blubbered-out great anxiety for humankind (the Guardian): ‘Donald Trump pledged to cancel the Paris…

Crab-Leg Up

Gray skies and a cool breeze this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast as we cruise through a period of ‘seasonal temperatures‘ and foggy mornings here along the shoreline. Yesterday, my fisherman ex-brother-in-law (and still very-good friend) presented me with some Dungeness crab he’d snagged somewhere in local waters, and just as the health-ban on…

Fire In Season

Fog and clouds together again this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, creating a moist, chilly environment. Forecasts for the next 10 days shows it nearly-dry, the NWS expecting ‘Mostly Sunny‘ conditions for awhile. A marine-layer don’t count… Also not really counting despite its excellence, was our past rainy season, especially in the drought category of…

Refute Reality — Lie/Deny the Obvious

Surprisingly-bright sunshine this Monday morning on California’s north coast, and warm, too. Supposedly, fairly-clear for the next week-to-10-days with a ‘Chance‘ of rain showers every-now-and-again — typical weather for our environs. Outstanding weather here, but not so in many, many places — and since climate in your wherever-area controls the weather, the warmth is only…

Warm and Warmer

Beauteous, bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, an environmental-glare sharpened by chilled ocean-winds. Precipitation maybe over the weekend, but amount depends upon the difference between ‘chance‘ and ‘isolated‘ — drizzle? Weather has become more than just some idle, social chatter — reality bites. Startlingly-gorgeous weather here, but not so everywhere (UK’s Independent this…

Incandescence Intensifies ‘Climate Emergency’

Drizzling-gray this early Monday on California’s north coast, though, not-so-chilly this morning. Supposedly, clear skies with no heavy rain percentage until Thursday, and warm — the NWS warns, however, the heat wave will be ‘short lived,’ an ‘unusually strong late-May low pressure system‘ is expected to twist across the area by the end of the week,…

Bee Gone — Honeybee Disappearance ‘Canary in the Coalmine’

Chilly fog blankets my little patch of ground on California’s north coast this near-noon Thursday — rain forecast starting maybe tomorrow night, or Saturday, but supposedly this system lacks punch. Not much wetness expected. Hopefully, sunshine this afternoon, but chances seem slim. Gray environment, bordering emotionally on the Gothic… And to further paint a sad…

Too-CO2 for Me and You

Sunshine through scattered high-clouds this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, another nice day sparkled by a cool, pleasant ocean breeze. Wind keeps the heat down. Unpleasant news in the keeping-the-heat-up category — appears as if global concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere are way-quickly approaching ‘the point of no return,’ making the…
