Heat and Aging
52°F, hazy, S 10 mph wind (it was 70° today! Warm!!!) It was definitely spring like today. Portland broke a record for warmth yesterday. We have swung wildly a lot this winter. As far as more climate science, here is another sign that a warming climate is not a good thing for humans. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr0616?utm_campaign=Science&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=ownedSocial&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3ZM682JdCx4fDKzs3PyOuYNBChFkBb3QRAu_iWRt67LucoU030R7aiAjQ_aem_OwbldrJgMhL_deNOK_KfbQ ButContinueContinue reading “Heat and Aging”
Dismantling Weather Forecasting.
This was in the 2025 project plans. The plans the orange dictator claimed he had no idea about despite being named as a lead player. It’s going to be an “interesting” year for y’all in tornado alley and hurricane zones without critical warnings. Those of you who voted for this I won’t feel a shredContinueContinue reading “Dismantling Weather Forecasting.”
Snow Is Fertilizer
30°F, Mostly Cloudy, S 8 mph wind, .89” monthly rain, Winter Weather Advisory Snow doesn’t happen a lot here, but we sometimes get a day or two of snow in the winter. The thing about snow, even though the ice and snow can be annoying when having to drive to work, is that it actsContinueContinue reading “Snow Is Fertilizer”

I’m not interested in following you or listening to a word you say. You are but aContinueContinue reading “I told you so. Many times.”
Hybrids, GMO’s and Open Pollinated

Often when I mention hybrid plants to the more misinformed crowd, there are always those who suddenly get up in arms, frantic that I’m about to make some horrible mistake. in which I try to kindly inform them then that hybridsContinueContinue reading “Hybrids, GMO’s and Open Pollinated”
Water Rising?
These berms made of rock were put in along this road to my place of employment a couple years ago to keep king tides from flooding the road. Yesterday the road definitely flooded. I had to move some logs off the road yesterday on my way home once the tide had retired back to whereContinueContinue reading “Water Rising?”
Still air and clear skies-
Clear, frosty (probably mid 20’s) A picture from early in the year. These are a sign of a cold night here. And it was indeed a cold night again. I was prepared for it this time having shut off my water before hand to prevent any damage to my pipes. Pipes that are not asContinueContinue reading “Still air and clear skies-“
Get Them While You Can
Climate change, regime change, and preventable illness. I can’t tell you how many times a day I hear around this area that scientists and Doctors are fake and out to harm people. As someone who has a degree in the sciences it’s rather insulting and also false. Why would we spend our whole lives tryingContinueContinue reading “Get Them While You Can”
Welcome to 1.5
1.5 is the magical number climate scientists agree was a number to avoid. It wasn’t officially expected to happen until 2040. But I know it would be quicker. Ever since Al Gore attempted to bring up the issue of climate change, there was a very concerted effort by just about everyone to “scale back” theContinueContinue reading “Welcome to 1.5”
