Mother Nature is Mad
Posted: September 19, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 2 CommentsWeather has dominated the news for the last month or so. Four major hurricanes, many fires and two big earth quakes just in our part of the world and we are not the only place where the weather is wild. Tonight’s news led off with the devastation in Mexico City, followed by hurricane Maria taking aim at Puerto Rico. The third item in the line up was Trump’s speech at the UN general Assembly.
I was cooking today, so I watched that speech. Given any other day it should have led the news due to its unusual tone for a regular American President, but we all know this is not a regular Pres.
I somehow have an eerie feeling that Mother nature is trying to tell us, we are mere specs, including the POTUS and that she is the one in charge. No matter how outrageous 45 talks Mother Nature appears to be saying, let’s take the spot light off you and I know just how to do it.
In the 70’s there used to be a margarine commercial that said, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.” You can’t fool Nature long. Eventually it will win. Well, now Mother Nature is saying, “It’s not nice to hurt my planet.” I am wondering when we will listen to the scientist who study weather and do what we can to be nice to Mother Nature. We can hardly afford to continue at the pace of weather disasters that we are in now.

At least half of the deadliest hurricanes happened in the early part of the 20th century with Galveston TX the worst in 1900 – long before fossil fuels were the CO2 emitters like today.http://www.businessinsider.com/worst-storms-in-history-2015-10/#hurricane-hugo-1989-21-deaths-15
They were deadlier because we did not have the building codes we do today. , or the same weather forecasting allowing people time to evacuate. If we had the same building codes and lack of early warning then you could compare hurricanes by death rate. Global warming is real and warmer oceans cause bigger storms. Listening to business people, who have financial stakes in keeping the status quo, rather than scientists who have no monetary gain is foolish.
