Only a true bastard would ignore their Mother's sick condition

Don't be that bastard.



Absolute new age nonsense
The earth is a planet that happens to have living organisms on it
It's getting hotter because the ratio of gasses in the atmosphere is being changed


Lisa's idea is much more expressive.

Much preferred


Thank you.

There have been many more periods of climate change before in the planet's history. I was reading about one such this morning that likely destroyed the Indus valley civilisation millennia ago.

The good news is we are infinitely better placed to manage such crises now than in earlier periods.

That is, as long as the culture warriors don't manage to deprive us of a mix of energy sources.

It really surprises me how a place like Sydney can get to 47 degrees, when Rockhampton does not crack 40 degrees very often. I think it is expected that Rockhampton can get over 40 degrees in summer EVERY year. However, we don't see the temperature often exceeding 42 degrees very often. In 1990, we saw 45 degrees. I saw a number of 43 degrees, and a 44 degree day in the last 25 years. But we have not passed 45 degree since 1990.

Pretty rare here but you get consistantly muggy temps for what 5 months, we get that for 3 with the occasional scorcher thrown in.

Apparently sydney was the hottest place on earth yesterday.

The so-called *conservatives* in the USA have positioned themselves to lose on the issue of climate change in the long-run.

Not just the Indus River folk, look at what happened at the end of the bronze age around the mediterranean, which was within a hundred or so years of the Indus civilisation collapsing. Not something I would look forward to, every civilisation collapsing at around the same time, well... within a couple of generations.

From Ugarit in the Levanvt
Quote:
The last Bronze Age king of Ugarit, Ammurapi (circa 1215 to 1180 BC), was a contemporary of the Hittite king Suppiluliuma II. The exact dates of his reign are unknown. However, a letter[4] by the king is preserved, in which Ammurapi stresses the seriousness of the crisis faced by many Near Eastern states from invasion by the advancing Sea Peoples. Ammurapi pleads for assistance from the king of Alashiya, highlighting the desperate situation Ugarit faced:

My father, behold, the enemy's ships came (here); my cities(?) were burned, and they did evil things in my country. Does not my father know that all my troops and chariots(?) are in the Land of Hatti, and all my ships are in the Land of Lukka? ... Thus, the country is abandoned to itself. May my father know it: the seven ships of the enemy that came here inflicted much damage upon us.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugarit


Hattusa(Hittites)
Quote:
Another serious problem confronted the last kings of Hatti. There may well have been widespread famine in the Hittite kingdom during its final decades. The Egyptian pharaoh Merneptah (1213–1203 B.C.) refers to grain shipments sent to the Hittite king “to keep alive the land of Hatti.”

Then there were the Mycenaean Greeks and Egyptians, the Mycenaeans went down too, the Egyptians only barely manged to hang in there and were never what they were before again. I'd guess the Nile saved them but they also had their woes.

Ogallala Aquifer in the United States is being depleted rapidly. Add that to the other water woes of the western American States, even a *conservative* would have to see the "civilization" there isn't sustainable.

Sydney is pretty much a basin ( or a cauldron in the last few days I guess). I lived there once.

But the best news I've heard out of all that (on ABC) was that thousands of fruit bats were falling dead out of the trees. Halleluja brother!

But there are some crazy folks out there. Volunteers were out in force trying to revive the toxic, polluting critters. Hope they got heat exhaustion.

I would have put up with a 48 degree day, just to get that record -- the selfish type I can be wishing to endure record heat, just to get the record hottest place in the world. I live slightly in from the coast, in a bowl of mountain ranges. Perhaps we are shielded from really hot weather. But then, any place west of here passed the mountain ranges would show hot weather details. I find it unusual that we have a large area of arid and semi-arid places that are unimpeded by mountain ranges and anything that could block the heat from reaching Rockhampton. So, for us to go 27 years without breaking our highest temperature of 45 degrees celsius, it makes me wonder how we don't beat Sydney at highest temperatures. I can understand that Sydney can get westerlies blowing in from the desert. But, all that should be tempered by the onshore winds cooling the place down.

I think Rockhampton gets about 5 to 6 months of hot to very hot weather. The hottest days are usually in tandem with low humidity. I have yet to see a humid day get over 40 degrees. The start of October to the end of March is usually the hottest part of the year for us. From March to May, it is usually a mild Autumn. From August to September is a mild spring. June and July can either be cool or it can get bitterly cold, depending on the year.

I hate to admit it.
But Lisa 'Lube Job' Jones is kinda right.

The 'biorhythms' of the planet are very erratic.
Not much different to a person in Hospital from being very sick.
Throw in Pollution and underground Nukes pulverising the crust.
It's much like a junkie who takes a good number of punches.


Maybe people don't like the Planet being 'humanised'.
Because they know its not a pretty sight to look into such a mirror.
