A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated.

I suppose I should start writing more about climate, but dear lord, what a swamp of dis- and misinformation to wade into.
It seems to me also, despite the models, that the thing to focus on is oscillation or fluctuation, the sign of a system heterodyning out of control. I am actually sympathetic to the idea of planets (and stars) being conscious beings, and at some point, the Earth is going to remove the source of irritation.... But whether through chills or fever I do not think we can know....
Our temps are in the low 30s, weather I associate with the east coast Portland. Our normal daytime highs would be the high 40s. I don't think I have ever worn my heavy winter coat as much as I have this year.

It's colder here in LA,
a record-setting 34 degrees. Brrrrrrr....
So much for the Southland!

Re: Winter's onset
one of the features of global warming is freak weather, 41 degress in January, 32 degrees and snow in April.
Freezing here in the west coast Portland.

In the new normal it seems that up is down.
"Up is down"...
... except when up is even more up.
You guys had spring in February last year, right?
