War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One great wonder of nature is a clear, clean and cold sunrise — here this Sunday on California’s north coast light approached in a ever-expanding wave of bluish-white. And did I say, cold? Record low temperatures all over the area last night and this morning, and bringing all the assorted frigid conditions these percolating icebox-like…
Clear and really-cold this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast with the air getting colder the closer to dawn. Away from the ocean and into the interior, temperatures could drop into the single digits, but even with us on the beach, it’s going to be a record-setting cold snap. However, since I leave for work…
Way-bright sunshine chilled with a northerly wind this afternoon here on California’s north coast, as we hunker down for a hard-cold snap the next couple of days, temperatures forecast to dip to freezing and below, most-likely a side-effect off that big storm churning up north. Winter Storm Cleon — a “helter-skelter storm” already dumping 30…
Cold and clear this hard-to-handle Monday — having some InterWebs problems for some reason this morning, but we’re trying again. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past few days up here on California’s north coast, with more of the same forecast for this week. Not so for a big chunk of the US —…
Clear and cold this way-early Thursday on California’s north coast, and we can near-about see the weekend from here. Still not close enough, though, to reach out and touch. As the the UN climate talks in Warsaw, Poland, dribble to an end this week, the counter-balance to life as we know it may soon slam…
Despite all my crying and slobbering, it’s Monday again! And this early morning finds itself clear and cold on California’s north coast — weather better than most. One big climate question answered: Two university scientists have found that the “pause” or “hiatus” in global temperatures can be largely explained by a failure of climate researchers to…
Clear, but cold and chilly this way-too-early Monday here on California’s north coast — the weather is pointing in the right direction. Winter’s on the way, or something else, more weird. An environment that’s changing is bringing together unlikely peoples. A few days ago, two people were attacked by polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba, mainly due…
A faint rain drizzle earlier with near-balmy temperatures for the north coast of California this Thursday afternoon — altogether not unpleasant — but far, far to the west, mega-badass Super Typhoon Haiyan has clobbered the Philippine island of Samar, about 330 miles east of Manila. Supposedly, Haiyan made landfall with winds up to 195 mph,…
Clear and cool this early Monday on California’s north coast and the start to a fresh work-week, and a sense of no telling what’s going to happen next. Quote of the weekend — from a new book, “Double Down: Game Change 2012,” about last year’s presidential campaign, and via the Washington Post: Obama meditating on…
Some more bad noises today on the melting Arctic: “And it is really in the past 20 years that the warming signal from that region has been just stunning,” he added. “All of Baffin Island is melting, and we expect all of the ice caps to eventually disappear, even if there is no additional warming.” Hottest…
