Soak up the February sun? Not without climate change guilt in California
Californians are seeing a dark side to balmy February temperatures.

SAN FRANCISCO � Californians are lounging in parks, wearing shorts to the beach and dining al fresco without heat lamps in February � and feeling terrible about it.

The past few weeks of balmy days and mild nights across the state have many feeling something is off. Rather than blithely basking in the unseasonable warmth, residents can�t shake the fear it will intensify California�s drought and wildfire season.

�I think it�s really hit a nerve for so many,� said state Sen. Mike McGuire, a Sonoma County Democrat who saw wine country temperatures hit 79 degrees Thursday. �Love the beautiful weather, but I really love this beautiful weather in June and July.�

...
�Folks with self-described severe climate anxiety now reach out to me (& other climate scientists I know) essentially every week,� UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain tweeted on Monday. �Climate scientists are not equipped to be on the front lines of the surge in climate anxiety � there really need to be more clinicians and practitioners who specialize in this.�

quote:

Blooming flowers, fledgling birds � the UK�s spring is early � and always will be
Anomalies are a sign that global heating is changing behaviour of flora and fauna

A blackbird feeding a fledged youngster in early January. Red campions flowering four months early. And the earliest recorded sighting of a rare beetle.

Wildlife experts and gardeners are reporting a series of highly unusual early sightings of flora, fauna, insects and birds across Britain, some of them weeks before when they would normally appear, in a further sign that rising global temperatures are having a significant impact on British wildlife.

Spring has been creeping forward steadily for decades. Plants flowered a full month earlier in the UK between 1987 and 2019 than they did prior to 1986, a recent report published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B journal found. But this year, following a relatively mild and dry winter, experts say they have seen anomalies that could be a sign of shifting behavioural patterns in nature due to climate change.

�Right now, you�d normally see a few things starting to stir, like snowdrops poking their heads above the soil and coming into flower,� said Jack Wallington, a landscape designer and author based near Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, adding that many developments feel about a month earlier than usual � despite being 300 metres up on an exposed hillside.

He has also spotted �buds on trees and shrubs swelling up�, while daffodils are �rocketing�.

Meanwhile, several perennials (including Calamagrostis brachytricha, Veronicastrum and Astrantia) are actively growing, which, he said �is probably about a month earlier than I would expect to be seeing them�.

At the same time, the Wildlife Trusts are reporting a range of earlier than usual sightings, including barn owls preparing to nest weeks early in Ulster, red campions flowering in January in Montgomeryshire, marsh marigolds flowering weeks early in Gwent and the earliest ever sighting of a black oil beetle in Staffordshire.

The second is the Posadist option � benevolent aliens show up with energy/mass converters, replicators, some kind of gently caress off bad-rear end power generation solution, and maybe even a blueprint for a socialism. This gets us on track to re-terraforming the planet back into something liveable. I�m very fond of this scenario, and wanna write a book about it � except books are tree death, so I can�t. Imagine, killing a tree so you can write a book. It is a wonderfully fertile scenario tho!

come the gently caress on! you're already burning so much energy by paying for the fuckin wordpress hosting and the necessary infrastructure to support the bandwidth to serve it to its 8 readers! sunk cost this poo poo and go whole hog on at least an ebook! the energy waste can still be purposed to maybe help people understand the prime directive!
