Think’n about the Weather
Bienvenidos a Miami…
We all live here in Florida now…
There’s a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather…
So go the lyrics of the songs by Will Smith, Billy Joel and Natalie Merchant
The thunder has been booming, the winds blowing and limbs of trees falling and that’s just here on Long Island. I can’t help but think about weather words.
Floods in the Midwest, typhoons and tsunamis in other parts of the world and drought in still others.
Other the weekend the warm balmy breezes had me feeling like I was living in Miami or Hawaii, I don’t know if I should admit that they felt eerily good.
Watching the headlines on the news though sends a shiver through my bones - floods, tornadoes and more.
Remember the line from the movie “Badges, we don’t need no stink’n badges”
In 2008 the line is “Climate change, there’s no stink’n climate change”
I feel like I’m watching a movie trailer for a bad B movie and the music suggests to me I shouldn’t want to see the movie. But I’m drawn - Drawn to it like a moth to a flame…zap…my wing just got burned.
I wanna grip the arms on my chair like the first time I saw Halloween or the Poseidon Adventure as a kid. Except this time there’s no one in the booth shutting the projector off when it ends and I can’t exit the theater at my own will to go to the bathroom and catch my breath.
Serenity now…Serenity now

It is time we help nature with its balanceing act. If we don’t nature is find its own balance which will be very painful. The high winds, the thunder and lighting, the hurricans are as result of rising sea water levels, which is due melting of the glaciers. Over the past 3 years 4 trillion gallons of water has entered the oceans which in turn evoperates and comes down as hurricans. IT’S GLOBAL WARMING. So let together help mother nature do the balancing act. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.
Agreed. We hope people take at least a first step toward change. We also hope those that can develop the technology will. It’ll be interesting to see what new technologies start rolling out when gas hits $10 a gallon. A first step might even be looking at the CAFE standards which are a joke.
