It's a common rule of thumb, if you're talking about the weather it's because you have absolutely nothing else to say but intend to conversationalize politely just the same, hence, the weather. This time however the world is buzzing about the weather and what is happening to it ... here are some news reports Canada is ablaze while Quebec, Canada is drowning. Out West in Canada thousands have been evacuated from their homes because of the hundreds of out of control fires caused by lightning and incredible dry weather. It is one thing to pack up and leave your home forever in some cases, but most of them are ranchers with either beef or horses. Both cattle and horses will run back into the barns whenever there is a fire and it takes multi-man power to get them back out and into safety. Quebec on the other hand is getting barraged with daily torrential downpours and lightning. Houses have been struck by lightning and burned down. In Château gay a modern 6-lane highway turned into a raging river carrying away the abandoned cars like plastic little toys. Houses, bridges and roads had been washed away with over millions and millions of dollars damage up to date. The cost of lost pets' lives as well as livestock and horses being dishevelled in the effort of rescuing them has no price to speak of. |

Enland is hit with amazing heat of over 100oF, which is already running into the weeks. Austria is hit hard with severe rainstorms and flooding. As well as the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Romania, and RussiaPortugal is having out of control wild fire Meteorologist Dr Peter Werner from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research says: When we observe global weather – the extremes in precipitation, floods, droughts, storms – and note its development, we can say that these extremes have quadrupled over the past 50 years.Many feel that the unusual weather patterns are evidence of global warming – the so called greenhouse effect run amok. The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane) Many charge however, that man has unwittingly tampered with this natural process. Many scientists fear that the increased concentration of greenhouse gases have prevented additional thermal radiation from leaving the earth. In essence, these gases are trapping excess heat in the earth’s atmosphere in much the same way that a windshield traps solar energy that enters a car. Sceptics point out that only a small percentage of greenhouse gases emissions are man-made. However, the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), a research group that is sponsored by both the World Meteorological Orginazation and the United Nations Environment Programme, reports: “There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. |
