Warming up outside now near mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we expect 90-degree air this afternoon, and maybe close to 100 tomorrow.

In the science contextual slipstream from this morning, a couple of cases/reports/studies/essays/whatnot ever you want to call, and with an interest for the nowadays.

by climate change, Cloud Gazing, Environment, Health, History, infrastructure, Media, Politics, Technology, Weather

Breezy and cool this near-mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — weather just about out of sync with normal reality. Reportedly, we’ll see a 30-degree rise in temperatures by Saturday as the ‘whiplash,’ lopsided shape of our meteorology continues unabated. A circumstance already predicted.

(Illustration: From ‘The American Instructor.’ via American Antiquarian Society, and found here). In the shadow of this week’s SCOTUS bomb, the American scene has been in some kind of turmoil — hardcase cruelty exposing Republicans as living/breeding a hypocritical lie that could drown us all.
