Our Crazy World Here is an article that sums up extreme changes in the seasons . (Discuss this issue on our Message Boards ) I honestly also think that weather persons can no longer predict the weather forecasts as it seems to rapidly change. As many from not just the uk but other regions have either seen floods or sudden heatwaves. Wildfires also seem to be on the agenda so often now and of course tropical storms and hurricanes. We have to ask ourselves with the economies shrinking can we survive as a civilized society for any longer?
Of course scapegoats will be used by climate protesters or even the person on the streets will ask if enough is going to be done to prevent further ecological and economical disasters occurring. Of course i think there is little we can do now its all talk and ripping us off with this so called green energy or reducing gases into the atmosphere.
Every year we see more and more disasters or extremities from the weather. Im surprised we have not heard much about the refugees from this weather coming onto our borders. I see major food shortages and water shortages and of course diseases occurring in the western hemisphere. Of course the leaders of the world wont do much as i suppose they will just have to sit back and enjoy the show. I honestly think they will be made comfortable whilst we suffer.
I think something will occur sooner than we think its just when will it get much worse than it is now? So the question is this : what will be a pivotal point? What will be the next defining disaster? I don't want to preach doom and gloom - but with the population the way it is, more susceptible to the elements and more exposed than ever - what's next? How can we keep overcoming them? Not to mention the flu - in which some cases could be less dangerous than the actual vaccine. Big Pharma will rake in the cash at what could be our (fatal) expense. Also a wonderful thing that they get immunity in most way FROM side effects, and on top of all of it - ~50% of people that do GP work would still turn it down. Not a prophet, not a doomer - Just being a realist. It truely looked like something is about to snap - and once that floodgate opens, will you be ready? Having said all that, there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PLANET. Yeah, despite all the current stuff that is going on - The planet is fine. Going to be around a lot longer than us, so pack yer shit folks ;)
Always better to end somber topics with humor, it lessens the impact - plus it's George Carlin. That's a 2 for 1 right there! Weather eye: It's a topsy-turvy world"Australians must be wondering which hemisphere they are living in. This is supposed to be their winter, but heat waves have broken temperature records for many places, and this month is set to become the hottest August on record for the nation. Even more extraordinary, some places have been hotter this month than at any other time this year, including summer. Farmers in southern Australia, already suffering from prolonged drought, are facing more hot, dry weather to come and a disastrous wheat crop. Greece also is wilting under a heat wave which has helped to stoke up serious wildfires. Winds fanned a big blaze outside Athens that spread to the suburbs, forcing more than 20,000 people to leave their homes and destroyed forests, olive groves and farmland. The whole of the Mediterranean has had a hot summer, and wildfires have also broken out in Spain, France and Italy. The Atlantic hurricane season woke up after a late start. Hurricane Bill roared off the eastern seaboard of the US, but managed to dodge any land until it struck Nova Scotia and Newfoundland on Monday, although by then it was too weak to cause many problems, and promptly died out. However, the warm, wet remains of Bill then moved across the Atlantic and turned into a gale that battered northwest Britain on Wednesday. Tropical storm Danny is now following closely in Bill’s footsteps and is expected to soak much of the East Coast of the US and Canada. Asia has had a summer of extremes. Floods have plagued parts of India, Thailand, Korea and southern China, but large parts of northeastern China and inner Mongolia are suffering severe drought and heat." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/weather/article6814095.ece |
Heavy rain has caused flooding in parts of Belfast and County Down. Localised flooding has been reported in several areas in the east of the city, with the Belmont Road and Sydenham by-pass particularly affected. Police also reported surface water or flooding problems on the Upper Knockbreda and Rosetta roads. Drivers have also been warned to exercise caution on the Ballysallagh Road in Bangor and the Crossgar Road in Ballynahinch. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/weather/article6814095.ece |
Firefighters tackling an intense wildfire north of Los Angeles say the blaze remains "very dangerous". Fuelled by hot weather and dense, dry brush, the blaze doubled in size in a day to spread over 134 sq miles (347 sq km) of forest. About 12,000 buildings and key communications masts are under threat, and officials say the fire could easily double again over the coming days. Two firefighters died on Sunday after their vehicle was overrun by flames. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8230540.stm |
