The Guardian says the earth is on fire.
“Hottest January on record”
This is different from what they were saying fifty years ago.
“Space satellites show new Ice Age coming fast
snow and ice cover of the earth increased by 12 per cent during 1967-1972”
It was persistently cold here (W.MA) in January. Not bitterly cold except for one minus 19 morning but I don’t believe we had even one day above freezing. Apparently “Not A Single Day Above Freezing” is the new “On Fire”
(AI) Automated Idiocy now spells ‘freezing’ as ‘fire’, and RED is the new blue (‘hot’ is the new ‘cold’).
Down here in the South Pacific where it’s supposed to be summer, I had the pleasure of yet another ‘white birthday’ when it SNOWED on the mountains of New Zealand last week – something I’ve enjoyed up in Colorado in February / winter yet lately it’s happening more and more in the opposite hemisphere.
And having had zero cyclones up to this point, 4 months into Cyclone Season, finally we have 2 of them, albeit minor ones, spinning off Australia and Fiji. Hopefully some of their warm humid air drifts down this way before winter arrives: we can only live in hope.
