War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another nasty package on the highly-movable climate-change-train as a new study (once again) signals earth is moving beyond heat — revealing the crazy Russian heat wave last year most-likely wouldn’t have happened without global warming. Abstract from the research posted at PNAS: We estimate that climatic warming has increased the number of new global-mean temperature…
Still kicking, one of the most wonderous of public movements has recharged and re-directed even asshole Republicans, but Occupy Wall Street should hopefully turn its intense focus to the dreadnaught of humanity — climate change. Robert Reich on Wednesday: “I mean the mere fact that we have this occupation of Wall Street movement that is…
Update Below A good piece this morning in the New York Times, illustrating why global peoples are in for some way-hard, climate-change-days due to the fact that although nearly every other nation accepts climate change as a pressing problem, America has turned agnostic on the issue. And nobody seems to be paying much attention to…
(Illustration found here). Fifty percent of the US political system is eaten completely up with hardcore dumb ass — and to make it even far worse, apparently that half don’t give a shit. Not only do Republicans have no sense of government, they are allowing the most-horrendous problem this earth and its inhabitants have ever…
Even as President Obama attempts to throw out some kind of jobs plan tonight — the hornet’s nest in the US economy right now — one problem that’s quickly creeping worse strikes at the heart of life — food. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports global food prices remain high — especially wheat, rice…
Even as this debt ceiling fiasco flails about, slapping everybody in the face with its immature, self-centered, politically-charged dramatics, the planet earth itself is rapidly reaching its own ceiling, which once breached will make every-fuckin’-body forget all that fiscal brouhaha. Despite climate change being way-more dangerous than a bull-on-crack in a china shop, way-more perilous…
Haboob: A strong wind that occurs primarily along the southern edges of the Sahara in The Sudan and is associated with large sandstorms and duststorms and may be accompanied by thunderstorms. It usually lasts about three hours, is most common during the summer, and may blow from any direction. A haboob may transport huge quantities…
Always a skeptic, and although never a doubt about global warming, the speed in which this shit will strike hard at everyone’s daily lives has always seemed a bit understated. Report after report, study after study indicated the real mess of climate change will come in the future — somewhere down the line in 2020,…
Remember all those most-wonderful slogans bubbling up from Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, like ‘Change We Can Believe In,’ and ‘Yes, We Can,” which was chanted en-mass whenever the other motto ran out of steam. The phrases were so effective and catchy, even Jackboot John McCain tried to get into the act, stealing Obama’s thunder…
Sitting here along California’s northern coast on a quiet Tuesday morning — the first day of summer — the world’s largest ocean continues its massive movement a couple of miles away, and even way out there in the darkness of the Pacific, the growing danger of climate change is rippling, creating a much-more shitty future…
