Fog again this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we quickly work forward — today is the fall day toward the weekend. Hip-hip hooray! Although the NWS calls it “patchy fog,” the shit here on the coast feels like a soft, wet rain. Yesterday morning walking to work I could nearly feel the individual…
Fog and a warm breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — and warm is not like in hot, but more like in not-so chilly. And so it goes. Short and literary-dramatic, direct and to the point — yesterday from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “We know that we are not on track, and time…
Ground fog and a bit warm this way-too-early Monday on California’s north coast as another work week starts whether we like it or not — not! Those last two days appear much-much shorter than those other ones — why? The weather up here has been super great the last month, and the upcoming week appears…
(Illustration found here). Just as everything got worse, it did — dust blown thousands of miles is darkening ice on earth’s glaciers and in the Arctic, eliminating “albedo,” the process of ice reflecting sunlight, adding heat in the environment, and further/faster climate change. From the Guardian today: The phenomenon of “dark snow” is being recorded from…
Overcast with a bit of ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we pass the halfway mark for 2014 — time flies, period. Fun or not. Although we’ve had some gorgeous weather here, another product of the times — a derechos — had formed in the US Midwest and last night churned…
Ground fog again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and warm, too. And speaking of heat — Dr. Christopher Keating, a physicist who has taught at the University of South Dakota and the U.S. Naval Academy, has offered $10,000 of his own money to anyone who can disprove climate change. A kind of back-slap to…
Overcast with a chilly breeze here this Sunday on California’s north coast as we mingle the single days left in summer, which by the way, officially cranked-off yesterday. Although we’ve been experiencing ‘summer‘ for the past six weeks or so — bright, windy and a lot of sunshine. And warm for the most part. Especially…
Bright sunshine this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — the weekend more than half gone, and the garish tomorrow fiendishly well in sight. Clock-produced time a fascinating fantasy fueled primarily by presupposed notions, or words to that effect… In early September 2008, David Letterman unleashed a climate change rant on his CBS program, continued…
Nice warm afternoon here on California’s north coast with a bit of sunshine and a gentle breeze. Not so for the US mid-section — from the National Weather Service: An outbreak of severe storms is forecast this afternoon through tonight from parts of Nebraska through Iowa, northern Missouri, and into Illinois. Destructive winds, very large…
High overcast and way-quiet this early Monday on California’s north coast. I can’t even hear the Pacific Ocean, only a couple of miles away, as the morning sound so full of stillness it’s kind of weird. We require some type noise on a frickin’ Monday. The weekend went terrifyingly fast even if I did absolutely…
