Rain and more rain here in California’s Central Valley this Thursday afternoon, and feels like it ain’t never gonna stop. In the news it appears an endless cycle of rain, too, mostly of the nutcase variety, of stories piled high of how the GOP is infected with a bigly-binge of crazy — like this: Or…
Weather and climate hit the top spot for news this Wednesday morning as winter storms coast-to-coast are wreaking havoc across the board — here in California’s Central Valley we’re in the middle of heavy rains and high winds. Looks to be the theme for the next three/four days. And is epic — via The Washington…
One of the top-notch items on President Joe Biden’s agenda is a return full-steam to addressing climate change, which under T-Rump was not just put on a back burner, but tossed-off the stove completely. In November, Biden named John Kerry to head the assault, making the move even more serious by creating for Kerry a…
Although all the screaming in the news cycle right now is primarily US domestic bullshit, any emphasis on the ugly elephant in the room (not the GOP) right now, which is climate change, goes near-about unnoticed, further creating a whiplash diaster still barreling headfirst toward a fatal, horrible conclusion. In a world staggered by a…
As we continue to wait for the final election results, here’s a reminder of a backburner issue that’s bigger than the stove, and most-likely bigger than the kitchen: (Illustration found here). Near-about pushed aside is the real-horror of modern man — climate change. Yesterday, the US offically left the Paris Climate Agreement, an accord adopted in…
In the wake of a deadly pandemic there’s some off-shoot positive news impacting the climate — magnitude fairly strong considering such a short time span, according to the New York Times yesterday: Global greenhouse gas emissions are on track to plunge nearly 8-percent this year, the largest drop ever recorded, as worldwide lockdowns to fight…
(Illustration found at National Geographic). A new climate report that’s more than a little ominous — the Guardian this afternoon: Tropical forests are taking up less carbon dioxide from the air, reducing their ability to act as “carbon sinks” and bringing closer the prospect of accelerating climate breakdown. The Amazon could turn into a source…
Sunshine is good, but we really need rain to survive. Although our Pacific Northwest neighbors experienced drenching rainfall already this year, California has been pretty-much dry, somehow the storms missing us. Yesterday, the U.S. Drought Monitor reported almost 60-percent of the state was right now abnormally dry, an increase over the 46-percent recorded just last…
Just to keep up with non-T-Rump news, the planet is still getting hotter, and one of the creeping-hot spots is Antarctica — on the same day last week, an iceberg nearly the size of Atlanta (also three-times the size of San Francisco) broke off of Pine Island Glacier, and a weather station on Seymour Island…
Beyond the threat to democracy, the T-Rump is also a total threat to all of humanity — report of a new poll at EurekaAlert yesterday shows 56-percent of US adults believe the top issue we’re facing today is climate change, and per politics, ‘62-percent say they are willing to vote for a candidate because of…
