I'm disappointed in you lot.....especially you Sig. Over on the Brexit thread they're getting on for 2K past the Best-Before number and you've been doing sterling work in keeping the undead...erm...well, undead, I spose. Can't you sharpen your quill and use your rapier like wit to rejuvenate this 'ere increasingly tired old knacker?
In the spirit of Climate Change and similar fractal extremes, I feel I must do something to help throw at least a mewling kitten amongst the pigeons...I know SG, I know, the word count is pushing yr limits but the end is nigh - not for all of us but merely this rantlet....
Extreme variations in temperature across the globe were posited as being symptoms of ocean temperature rises over 20 years ago, so for me, too hot is neatly balanced by too cold elsewhere...another aspect is (or so I believe) the Too Wet, Too Dry thing.
....and since I've started: I know that this is not strictly "weather" but I was amused to see that there's a new TV series out that addresses the aftermath of a modern Carrington Event, a phenomenon around which there is NO doubt. This will happen and the chances of one coming to call within the life-times of even the most elderly amongst the T2W dinosaurs are startlingly high. This won't be a gradual decline over decades (as Climate Change appears to be) but a real on/off event - Lights on one day and off the next.
Are the governments of the world doing anything about planning for this, I wonder.
Over to you Sig
