War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In this era of a malicious-doomed apprehension, another brick in the wall — although the US is low on the lost chart, this new climate-change consequence of losing shoreline is part-n-parcel for the nowadays. Image above is an aerial view of Pismo Beach, California (found here), where I lived for way-most of the 1990s, half-a-block…
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…
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…
Rainy and gray this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast — more like a drizzle, but will get you soaking wet in minutes. Tomorrow rain forecast again with sunshine maybe on Thursday. Also tomorrow, the T-Rump’s EPA is expected to revoke California’s ability to maintain lower vehicle emission standards — lower than the federal…
Sunshine this late-afternoon Monday here on California’s north coast — been a fine Labor Day, with a chilly component found in the shade. Fog this morning beach-side on a dog walk at Ma-le’l Dunes; the gray burned-off a bit on occasion to let some sunshine glow, creating some warmth, but overhead mostly all misty-ash. Our…
Sunshine, wind and blue skies this Wednesday late-afternoon here on California’s North Coast. We’re apparently in our warmth of summer (seaside definition of ‘warmth‘) with tomorrow’s temps maybe in the mid-70s. A dog walk/run in the AM at the Ma-le’l Dunes was gorgeous — short-sleeve/T-shirt time, which for me says a lot, and doesn’t happen…
Windy, sunshine-filled late afternoon Tuesday here on California’s North Coast — good weather off good climate. Speaking of which, this exchange during a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting last February on a just-released North Coast climate assessment: Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson suggested that Humboldt County could be where “climate refugees” seek refuge. “We…
