Weird weather
|
|
Currently in the Costa Blanca and I’ve just watched a storm like I’ve never seen or heard before, over an hour of unbroken thunder like a jet is taking off around the corner, it’s still going but like a plane getting further away, lightning everywhere fork and sheet every 3 or 4 seconds and biblical bouncing rain like bullets for 45 minutes. Ten minutes later the birds are flying about like they’ve just found out they have wings and the fuckin suns out. Some of those cracks of lightning fizzed before a cannon goes off three foot away, could literally feel the energy, weird. Anybody else sat through extreme weather?
I miss Teds weather reports.

LT - Good to hear mate, Same as.
I've booked an exhibition in Faversham, KENT next May so need to get back at it.
Website will be back up soon, Not on WHO servers though.
Then hopefully back in the US next April for the Eclipse and some chasing.

'Anybody else sat through extreme weather?'
Well I'm a storm chaser, does that qualify?
Seen over 30 tornadoes, regularly chase SUPERCELLS etc
Also chase rare clouds or weather.
I do my own forecasting, have been obsessed by weather/clouds etc for about 40 years since I took my first lightning photos.
Had photos published in books by the Royal Meteoroloical Society.
I generally know when people know fuck all about anything, when they can't differentiate between weather, global warming or climate change (Usually Americans but the UK isn't far behind)
Which is around 98.6% of the time.

Sunak has pushed back the implementation of a few ‘green initiatives’ today. Seems like a sensible idea to me.
No doubt the purple haired activists will scream loudest about how he’s killing children or some such.

"Global warming is entirely down to LSD production and use?"
Mike, I used the word semi in my post.
With exactly as much justification, you could claim that someone WHO was alleging that "Global warming is entirely down to male sexual activity"

It is?
I’d have thought it was blindingly obvious there are absolutely no climate scientists on here at all. And all the more reason we ought to be listening to what they have to tell us, don’tcha think?

Amazing the amount of Climate Scientists we have on WHO.
Is there no subject we don't have experts on?

What's the required blood concentration of Lysergic Acid Lysergic Acid Diethylamide required to shift some out of their conditioning?

So humans are responsible for 0.0128% of the Carbon DiOxide in the atmosphere. Is that only since the start of the Industrial Revolution or since we came down from the trees and fired up our first primitive Bar-B-Q's?
Not that it really makes a difference because the total length of time humanity's been on the planet, compared to when the planet first formed until now is negligible in cosmological terms: it's like naming the exact date & time the last full ice age was over for the whole planet.

In most semi-conductors, the concentration of dopants is well below the concentration of CO2 in the amosphere.
Therefore, your computer and phone can't possibly work...

What the planet needs is more storms, because more storms mean more cloud cover.
And more cloud cover means more of the higher energy photons from the sun, currently feeding energy into the planet's eco-system will be reflected back into space way before they get anywhere near the land/sea/lower atmosphere.
Anyhow, any damn fool know that it's all those TV satellites beaming signals down and missing the dishes that is the true cause behind global warming, innit?

How much of the Earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon?
0.041%
of that, how much is created by humans? about a third.

The French government recently announced €200 million earmarked for the disposal of surplus wine production in a bid to bolster winemakers struggling financially.
Italy is having a bad grape harvest this year. Probs will be massive again next year. Msybe they will have to pay their growers to keep prices high too? Or maybe Italian wines are better?
