This is a bit pointless. It's not like, as individuals, we have any affect on the weather, even as a world population we do.
But in the last 12 months I think most people, at least who own a tv or radio and get anything resembling international news, are starting to wonder. I don't go in for apocalypse theories and I really don't believe the Mayan's are going to be the ones that get it right. But you have to start to wonder, what with the freak weather *and* the severe earthquakes within the last year, if the world is trying to tell us something. I'm not thinking 'THE END HAS COME' or anything so dramatic, but it's one event after another and in so short a time those add up.
The question on everyone's mind is 'is this going to permanent?' Is this the state of the world now? 8.9 mag earthquakes that cause tsunamis that impact and entire ocean. Freak snowstorms that hit Athens and New Mexico. Flooding across areas of land so large they impact the future of entire countries. Destruction of crops on such a massive level the affect exports and demand. Floods and snow and winds and drought and fires. If it's not one it's another every single day. And that's on top of humans causing destruction.
And if there's one thing on this entire planet that we cannot control, beyond the damage we have already done, it's the weather. We are utterly at the mercy of that part of life. And I think that should terrify the average person, if they stop to think about it. Because there's not many places left in this world that you can go and not expect destructive weather to catch you.
And South-western Ontario will argue today that not even this area is safe.
