Written October 29th, 2013 by Hasso Hering
The bird bath in our yard froze over this morning, pretty much right on schedule. Meanwhile, in the world of politics, the hot air continues to billow forth about global warming and the steps we must take to slow it down. In the local paper, the AP reports on the governors of Oregon, California and […]
Climate change: Where is it?
Written September 14th, 2013 by
You may have noticed that while everybody talks about climate change, the climate around here has been staying remarkably unchanged. We moved to Albany in the drought year of 1977.

Oregon temps essentially unchanged
Written January 14th, 2013 by
Maybe it’s lucky that we don’t believe the hyperventilating about global warming in the papers and other mainstream media.

Obama and his climate hubs
The federal government is doing something else to save us from climate change. The Washington Examiner’s headline: “Obama Administration Creates ‘Climate Hubs’ to Combat Extreme Weather.” Well, too bad they’re not in time to combat and perhaps repel what’s forecast for the Willamette Valley starting Thursday: another bout of snow and maybe ice.
