(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Hell Canto 2: Giants,’ found here). Another brick in the wall of climate change, probably, and way-most-likely the biggest, nastiest danger facing all of us right now — despite the horror of the T-Rump. Yet again, more bad news via the Guardian this afternoon: Global warming has heated the oceans by the equivalent of…
(Illustration found here). As our environmental situation shifts, the phrase, ‘climate change,’ and even ‘global warming,’ don’t express the reality — from Commondreams yesterday: “I’ve worked on this for 30 years and I’ve never been as worried as I am today,” Schellnhuber declared during the COP24 climate summit in Poland, arguing that even the language commonly…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Exploding Raphaelesque Head,’ found here). As the crookedly-corrupt cookie crumbles, petulant incompetent crime boss, the T-Rump, slapped snotty: — according to the UK’s Independent this morning: Donald Trump has reportedly cancelled the annual White House Christmas party for members of the media. The festive gathering has been hosted by presidents for decades,…
(Illustration found here). Climate change issues can’t be shouted enough — another nasty view of our rapidly changing world: New studies and reports issued this week at a major Earth sciences conference paint one of the bleakest pictures yet of dramatic warming in the Arctic and Antarctica. Alaskan scientists described to The Associated Press Tuesday never-before-seen…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ (June 30, 1972), was originally found here). Chilly-dark this Monday evening on California’s north coast, sunshine through-out the day, a little rain expected tomorrow, more sun Wednesday and Thursday. So it goes… Our current time frame is a period of out-of-the-ordinary, and whether political, environmental, or whatnot, the…
A child will lead us, though, maybe too late — the UN climate conference in Katowice, Poland, is happening now, and today 15-year-old Greta Thunberg laid-down the real: “For 25 years countless people have come to the UN climate conferences begging our world leaders to stop emissions and clearly that has not worked as emissions…
Overcast and chilly this Wednesday evening here on California’s north coast — winter’s about here… Beyond our aggravating political circus, this afternoon I spied a couple of new studies on marijuana, both furthering normalization. First one was about conduct — as more US teens now smoke cannabis then cigarettes, new research indicates pot use won’t…
Another Monday here on California’s north coast, and another lark of sorrow — the T-Rump’s hard-headed, bat-shit-crazy take on that devastating climate-change report from last Friday (HuffPost): “I don’t believe it,” he told reporters outside the White House before boarding Air Force One for a flight to Mississippi. The president also attempted to place the…
Sunny but chilled by a sea breeze this Thursday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, another day in the life. Since the midterms, I’ve become even-more wary of the T-Rump’s mental state. Always mean, back-stabbing and cruel-crazy, as noted at the Daily Beast this morning. Trump has repeatedly—and sometimes for a sustained period of time—made fun…
Cloudy, foggy, smokey here on California’s north coast this Tuesday evening — all the characteristics of the state right now, the natural tempered with some terrifying wildfires raging both north and south. Amazing how and where smoke can travel… A crazed wildfire of horror in DC — Rolling Stone talked to some mental health professionals…
