Our World and Everything in It

Just a reminder to people that say global warming won’t affect them, and for people who think global warming is only a theory and the increasingly troubling weather patterns are just a fluke, one year ago on Friday the 13^th, Buffalo, New York was hit by a so-called fluke. Call it what you want, 3 people died, 400,000 had no power, and 100 miles of interstate highway came to a halt stranding thousands because 2 feet of heavy snow snapped tree limbs, power lines, and telephone lines.

There has never been a fluke like this in Buffalo’s weather history since weather record keeping began 140 years ago. And Buffalo has some pretty messed up weather, so this is quite a statement! We’re having an awful lot of flukes that seem to be appearing closer and closer together. Pay attention as Mother Nature ups the ante. Bad weather may not be hitting your neighborhood right now, but eventually environmental conditions will change everywhere. We’re going to experience the very bad before it gets better and that’s only if we act immediately, which doesn’t seem to be the case.
