  1. A major wildfire in Spain began when a pile of chicken dung spontaneously combusted in the heat. "Self-Combusting Manure at Spanish Chicken Farm Blamed for Devastating Wildfire" on thelocal.es
  2. Eon > Era > Period (unless you're talking about my ex's) > Epoch We're currently in: The Phanerozoic Eon (the past 541-million years) - this is the Eon in which abundant plant and animal life exists. The Cenozoic Era (the past 65-million years) - this is the Era in which mammals are abundant, started when a mass extinction occurred. The Quaternary Period (the past 3-million years) - this is the Period featuring modern animal life and significant climate change including continental ice sheets. The Holocene Epoch (the past 12-thousand years) - this is the Epoch that includes the current "warm period" which began after the last Ice Age. Note that there is no evidence, one way or the other, to either support or refute the Holocene Epoch being a "resting period" between Ice Ages, or a permanent end to the previous Ice Age. All of the above is what you'll read in textbooks. --- Now, however: "The Anthropocene - Hard Evidence for a Human-Driven Earth" on sciencedaily.com You've probably never heard of the Anthropocene, and that's because it's a newly discovered geological Epoch that *we're in right now* - in other words, the Holocene Epoch might be over. The characteristics of the Anthropocene Epoch, which seems to have started after World War II, are the preponderance of materials such as aluminum, concrete, plastic, fly ash, and nuclear fallout. For the sake of your great-grandchildren, you can hope that the worst-case scenario won't happen, but it's already happening. At this point, I'd like nothing more than to offer you a solution, so here goes: Pray, and hope there's a God, because if there isn't, we're fucked. I'm going to back up this website onto external storage, and pay someone to shoot it into outer space.
  3. "The Planet Has Seen Sudden Warming Before. It Wiped Out Almost Everything" by Carl Zimmer on nytimes.com
  4. It's calving, and we're hosed. Or, at least, I wouldn't be investing in any oceanfront property to hand down to my great-grandchildren.
  5. Yeah, it was on the news there- very sad, there was also a bull shark in Sea Pines last week, and they are doing a bunch of road construction down there- we stayed clear of that section of the island as it seemed to be a hotbed of not good things last week (of course last year when I was in HHI, there was a HUGE rattlesnake that rode the tide onto the beach at Port Royal, luckily we weren't at the beach that day). I am REALLY careful with my dog when I am in Hilton Head, this time I didn't let him go to the beach as often due to how hot it was and the shark sightings, I let him go a couple times, but he got to get his feet wet only and mainly ran around when it was low tide (we are in Port Royal and on our beach when the tide goes out there are lots of little water pools as the tide goes out really far and it is very shallow, but still I am careful). It was so hot though, we mainly stayed in our pool, so he got to swim in the pool instead. I also steer way clear of the ponds, many of which have gators and really keep my eye on stuff. I am to the point that I also try to be careful of bushes and pine straw for snakes, etc. I try to be very, very aware when I am out with him. I bring a VERY short leash for my dog when I am down there too. I am amazed how many golfers go to retrieve golf balls down by or in the ponds, not smart. I have never been a big ocean person- I will take Deep Creek Lake any day- and the amount of gators and sharks around and on the island this year, by the beaches seems to be higher due to warming temperatures. Oh and jellyfish too, ugh.

  7. A friend of mine sent me this picture today from Napa - this isn't a cloudy day; it's smoke from forest fires. "Sierra Nevada Snowpack Hit a 500-Year Low in 2015" by Monte Morin on latimes.com "California's Drought is Officially the Worst the State has Seen in 500 Years" by Alissa Walker on gizmodo.com Koyaanisqatsi, man.
