War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A major environmental report largely ignored — methane is an air bitch: from ScienceAlert yesterday on a new study published in Nature: Methane is an ‘invisible climate menace’ — roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapper than carbon dioxide — and while some of this atmospheric gas is produced naturally, new research indicates humans are…
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…
In the midst of an age of awful anxiety, here’s more to the weight — from the Guardian this morning: The heat in the world’s oceans reached a new record level in 2019, showing “irrefutable and accelerating” heating of the planet. The world’s oceans are the clearest measure of the climate emergency because they absorb…
Sunshine and a bit warm this late-afternoon of the second day of 2020 here in California’s San Joaquin Valley, a brightness after some pretty-thick morning low-clouds/fog which chilled the shit out of everything. Weather in the age of climate change. And far to the west, Australia is frying and burning from a climate ripped by…
Clear and cold this late-afternoon Friday here on California’s north coast — best to enjoy the sunshine as rain is forecast for Saturday, and will supposedly continue until maybe Monday evening. Along with the wet, high winds expected for at least tomorrow. Just a couple of sunny days next week, then more rain called-for starting…
Foggy-dark-already this early-evening Monday here on California’s north coast, closing time to another dark day which did carry occasional sparks of sunlight through low-hanging clouds, briefly shinning, then returning to dismal. Supposedly wet the next few hours — according to the NWS, there’s about an 80-percent chance of rain tonight, drawing-down to maybe 30-percent tomorrow.…
Sunshine and a brisk-cool breeze this late-afternoon Tuesday here on California’s north coast. Dog run about mid-day at Little River State Park was gorgeous, with just a wisp of a misty-fog hanging about north and south. People on the beach were shimmering forms coming and going, until just about right upon us. Reportedly, clear skies…
Clear skies and chilly this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast, and a return of electrical power just a couple of hours ago, a short respite until another “PSPS Piss-Piss” scheduled for tomorrow morning — we only have time to recharge our gadgets and await the blackout, reportedly set maybe for about 4ish, or even…
Clear and a bit chilly this early-evening Friday here on California’s north coast — another nice day in preparation for tomorrow’s electrical shut-down. And according to the latest, maybe the outage could last up to four days. A big factor in these incidents of wildfires and power outages is climate change, an even bigger threat…
