This weather is very scary lately.  We had two smaller tornadoes (that did a lot of damage) in the past month in upstate NY.  It was rare we would get one but now it is much more often.

There is a man who has been seeding rain in airplanes in Texas and did it 2 days before the flooding.  I expect that was what caused it.  These people do not work for the government and nobody seems to know for whom they work, some foreign source, but someone pays them.  Maybe like Antifa, nobody seems to know who they are because they wear masks and seem to get away with their mischief.


That was debunked by very many media outlets and officials last week.

I have not been on a private jet since 2012.

Weather systems are not local.  They are part of the entire planet and its systems.  What China does, what weather is in the rest of the world--massive systems that are even affected by the sun.  

 

How does the earth run?  Your body?  How very little we can change in reality.  Where do your thoughts come from and how are they possible?

 

Humans know so little and can affect so little outside ourselves.  We can't even conprehend it.

Yes, the climate has been and would always change on its own.

 

The problem is that it is changing faster than ever, and there are many records to prove that.  There are many factors involved, but our "modern" civilization has provoked many.

 

Of course, I believe in science.  The oceans are definitely warming and creating many disasters.  Air pollution is destroying so much.

 

I could say either you believe or you do not. But if you believe in science at all, many records have been kept for years, and we are now dealing with unusual weather changes, droughts, floods, dangerous storms.  Our weather in New England has even changed.  Someone who is curious might investigate the changes in our weather in the last number of years to see how things have been and continue to change at an alarming rate. I am thankful that we can do something about it - even Alaska is burning up with fires.

 

We are custodians of the earth, I do believe.  We are all connected, and issues with the falling number of bees, for example, has the capability of creating huge problems.

You might be interested to know that when we toured Germany a number of years ago we saw quite a number of wind farms.  My brother loves Block Island, which had one of the highest electrical rates in the country.  Large windmills were placed in the ocean so the wind could generate affordable and clean electricity.

 

Both my DH and DD are scientists (in different fields) so much has rubbed off.  It has been positive.

The beauty of "Science" is that it happens whether we believe in it or not.  Usually it's more beneficial to pay attention to it. 

 

For instance, recognizing sun exposure can cause skin cancer, or dry, flashy fuels plus wind plus a heat source create a fire problem.

Today was low humidity.  Couple more days like this,and back to high humidity with a thunderstorms in the late afternoon.  More like this through August, but the storms won't be as frequent. That' Maryland weather for you.
