Spring Nor’Easter Update – Diving For Cherry Blossoms

by

NBC4 Washington reports, “Cherry Blossoms Endangered If Temperature Drops to 24 Degrees“.

A major nor’easter is expected to sweep up the East Coast, bringing with it snow, cold temperatures and high winds. That could be dangerous for Washington’s beloved cherry blossoms.

Low temperatures of 27 degrees would result in about a 10 percent loss of blossoms, National Park Service officials said. If the temperature drops to 24 degrees or colder, it could kill as much as 90 percent of the pink-petaled wonders.

 

AGW – Spring Nor’Easter (2)

Punxsutawney Phil, ” the pleasantly plump Pennsylvania marmot”, screwed the pooch again this year.  From AccuWeather, “Major nor’easter threatens to halt travel from DC to Boston”.

A major nor’easter threatens to shut down travel due to heavy snow and strong winds from Washington, D.C., to New York City and Boston early this week. Blizzard conditions will develop in part of the northeastern United States.

A storm will first continue to bring snow and travel problems in the Midwest through Monday.

A new storm will rapidly strengthen and track within a couple of hundred miles of the east coast of the U.S. spanning Monday night to Tuesday night.

AGW – ‘You’re So Vain’, DiCaprio Style – updated

by

Well, I guess the whole ‘effing AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather) thing isn’t as important as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar eyebrows.  This hypocritical bit of vanity is from the Independent, “Leonardo DiCaprio flew eyebrow artist 7,500 miles to do his brows for the Oscars“.  Add those 5 tons of CO2 to the wacky-weed in your pipe and puff away, Leo.

How much effort do you put into the appearance of your eyebrows? Tinting? Threading? Pencilling in? Plucking the strays? Or perhaps nothing at all?

Well if you’re an A-lister with the eyes of the world watching, it seems no length is too extreme to ensure your brows are perfect.

Australian eyebrow-artist to the stars Sharon-Lee Hamilton was flown from Sydney to Los Angeles to tend to a select few celebrities’ brows before the 2017 Oscars.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are reportedly two members of the Hollywood elite who insisted on Hamilton flying the 7,500 across the Pacific Ocean, despite DiCaprio’s environmental stance.

Eeewww!! – Cricketeria Reprise

by

Since NBC News decided to trot out it’s predictably gross “How Crickets Could Help Save the Planet” to commemorate Al Gore’s newest inconvenient movie release and Donald Trump’s ‘Climate Denier’, oil-guy EPA appointment, it time to reprise our little story on crickets.  First NBC.

Unless we all stick to salads, the global production of meat will need to double in that time to feed our growing population, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO). Feed and crop production will also have to increase in kind to support livestock and our own appetites, inevitably taking up more land space and water — precious and dwindling commodities required for cattle.

Now our reprise – Your Sustainable Thanksgiving Dinner

Forget that turkey. Or dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberries. Belly up to the cricket buffet. Eat your fill and feel good about exterminating hunger for the next generation.

California Dreamin’ – Gov. “Moonbeam’s” Failed Spending Priorities

by

Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, was well aware that the Oroville Dam needed extensive, costly repairs and upgrades, but with the “Climate Change” drought turning California into sandy wasteland, why bother?  Besides, the Governor needed the money to provide all those goodies that the State’s Illegal Immigrant population has come to expect and demand.  After all, it was California’s job to make sure Hillary’s ‘popular votes’ would be around when she needed them.

But AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather), turn out to be just weather.  It rained again in California.  Ooops.  That deferred maintenance does add up.  Read what The Mercury News reports.

More than a decade ago, federal and state officials and some of California’s largest water agencies rejected concerns that the massive earthen spillway at Oroville Dam — at risk of collapse Sunday night and prompting the evacuation of 185,000 people — could erode during heavy winter rains and cause a catastrophe.

FERC rejected that request, however, after the state Department of Water Resources, and the water agencies that would likely have had to pay the bill for the upgrades, said they were unnecessary. Those agencies included the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which provides water to 19 million people in Los Angeles, San Diego and other areas, along with the State Water Contractors, an association of 27 agencies that buy water from the state of California through the State Water Project.
