Mid-November Snow hits Emerald City. Danger of branches falling which still have leaves. The additional weight critical. Planetary Climate Change means chaos which this is.
82F degrees last February.
California burns to the ground due to prolonged drought.
Now early snow in East and mayhem all along the way.
As for the snow I'm fine with it since unlike so many I loves the stuff,...bring it on!
This seems like a fortunate thing to me. Where I am the air quality is ABYSMAL, has been for days and will remain so for perhaps a week to come. I'm afraid to go outside.

P.S. - in California, 600 reported missing. Not pleasant to think what must have happened to them.

Over 600 missing one has to assume the worse for many. I hate this. I hate all that's happening. The very earth in rebellion against us. All over the world it's the 1930's again,...including here. Strong men nationalist butchers tribal hatreds.
ReplyDeleteI actually think an asteroid hit is both needed, and earned. Knock this planet back to the microbe level, and see what the next two billions years can do.
At this point it seems the moderate position to take.
It's bad all right, but not as bad as that. It just seems that way. It's just that we're on the wrong side of a historical bottleneck and it's probably about 500 years long. A bit awkward, that.
ReplyDeleteThe earth has been hit by quite a few large bodies. They recently found a big impact crater in Greenland; it's about 20 miles across. They can tell from the ice sheet that it hit only about 12,000 years ago, not millions of years ago. The effects must have been devastating, probably global, but people got through it. Some say we should keep a watch for such objects in order to divert them.
Speaking of catastrophe, for the past few days here we've been enjoying the worst air quality on earth. It's finally starting to improve a bit. None too soon.
