War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration found at NASA: A supercomputer model in 2015 created the above simulation of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and portends the ghastly, horrible, monstrous-looking results if this shit continues). Six years ago, the world maybe still had a chance to shift from the worst aspects of climate change, but now the sense is the…
(Illustration found here). Another rocking bit of climate-change science today and it’s not about drought, flooding, or mega-heat waves, but an entity that could make those things even worse — the operation of the Atlantic Ocean’s streaming service is close to collapse and the effect would be a real-big fucking deal. And it’s another one…
In the current stock of things this Monday afternoon — like Greece. Today the CDC put Greece and 15 other countries on a “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High” shit list for Americans to travel due to the surge of the Delta variant, while at the same time, Greece itself is in a weather meltdown. Climate change…
Despite all the juice from a shitload of news, the climate crisis caught my attention again this afternoon, especially with reports that we’re close to tipping points for the worse aspects of global warming, if not already past those positions, which would be a panic-driven mark on life’s calendar. Contending with democracy under fire, a…
Overcast a bit this Sunday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, yet still hot as shit — just at the century mark temperature-wise right now, which maybe/hopefully will be the high for the day and it’ll start cooling down. Out in the backyard just a short while ago, and even with the ‘soft’ cloud cover…
Cool and nice (relatively-speaking) this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley as we once again head into the weekend — seems like just Monday yesterday, time flies whether you’re having fun or not. During my scrolling earlier, I came across a pair of interviews already from today at Democracy Now! that seemed to zero-in…
In surfing the InterWebs this afternoon, scrolling across news stories on Joe Biden’s speech, COVID anti-vaxxers, Texas Demo legislators fleeing the state to keep Repubs from choking-to-death the right to vote, a new T-Rump book revealing he’s an even worse piece-of-shit/asshole then we all thought (shock!), along with numerous other headline items, I ventured onto…
A bit cooler than ‘normal‘ this late-morning Monday here in California’s Central Valley, though, we’re scheduled for triple-digit temperatures again today, it’s off the full-blown crazy of this past weekend. Supposedly, we’re on a downward slide from this particular ‘mega-heat-wave’ with temps set for the low 90s by Friday, but back up for Saturday and…
(Illustration: ‘Landscape of Change,’ by Jill Pelto, and found here). Hot and dry this Saturday afternoon here in California’s Central Valley, and though it’s warm, it’s nothing like the last week or so. Outside it’s even comfortable, but I should enjoy it while I can, forecasts for the temperature-burners to be lit-up again starting next…
As weather/climate change has become a major, near-continous, much-copious series of news stories, this a fortuitous film moment in Kansas: Not much information beyond the video — did find this via Yahoo: ‘In the midst of heavy rain, a car was suddenly struck by lightning in Waverly, Kansas. A father, mother and children were inside…
