    Default Seasonal changes

    There are those who would see me as a climate denier, I do not subscribe to the concept of global warming or climate change.
    I have my own views, much based on research into the matters.

    But i do agree that season changes are taking place at some speed.
    This was evidenced when on August 2nd I entered a large department storer to see Christmas Trees on sale, the following week decorations and all the other bits required during that season.

    Though this is not new, for many years now Hot Cross Buns have been on sale from Boxing day with Mince pies from June 1st.

    I do recall a time when Christmas was in December, Easter in March/April but like every thing else times are changing.

    We complain about the unseasonal weather and wonder why?
    But if we have a problem with identifying the seasons what hope has the poor weather got?

    Its all just Money Hype John!
    The Big Boys cannot wait to take any oppurtunity to make a score!

    Ig they could , i am sure they would sell things like Xmas and Easter things all Year round!

    Climate change , yes we all have our own thoughts on this, but i feel that the Evidence is so great nowdays that it cannot be ignored!

    Look at Today (Just one instance) cold and very very Wet, and Tomorrow a fine and warm day is on the cards!

    One cannot pick it any longer mate!
    But as i have said before, "Each to his own" what would this Planet be without different Views. Bloody Boring! LOL

    Regarding climate change. I was in Sydney N.S. in Canada a year or two back, and got into conversation with a few locals about the subject. I'd mentioned going out there many years ago, when the whole gulf was frozen over, from about Christmas until after Easter every year. They told me it doesn't freeze over any more due to global warming. I suppose the like of those people would be more aware of global warming than most of us.

    My dear Wife likes a bargain. She buys or did when we used to send Christmas cards always bought her cards at the end of December and keep them for the next Christmas, they were always half price or less. Now with the cost of postage and cards only very close family get a card others get an E Card.

    In every major event you can think of, war, recession, famine, unemployment, even the recent pandemic, it is always the poor and struggling who suffer the most. In the US and China, the biggest world polluters, vast profits are made by industries pumping their deadly gasses into the atmosphere while in Pakistan the land has turned into rivers and lakes, homes and livelihoods under water.

    True Louis , but perhaps the government of Pakistan should spend more on infrastructure and improving the well being of it's citizens than developing Nuclear weapons. Not just them but their next door neighbour as well.

    Pakistan has a huge standing Army and big Air force, but on the news there appears only a couple of Helicopters dropping food and no sign
    of the Army down at the floods helping people, I know it's a big flood but the news people are usually at the same place as the rescuers.
    The same in Afghanistan plenty of macho men with guns but useless in an emergency.

    Not just Pakistan but there are numerous other nations where the people still live as they did almost a thousand years ago.
    Their govs have spent the money on their own benefits and not that of the people.
    Though in many instances religeon has played a major part in that.

    Theer is constant talk of seas rising as a result of global warming.
    We get them here all the time, doomsayers or such.
    Yet I look along our coast line and see no difference in low or hightides.
    Down in Port Melbourne the tide marks have not changed in 60 years to my knowledge, and as we know water finds it's own level.

    Here in Oz we have had this season the highest level of snow ever on the alps here.
    In June 2019 we were in Norway 260 klm within the artic circle and according to the locals ice and snow levels then were quite normal for the time of year.
    There again in June 2022 and Iceland and similar comments as to the level of snow and ice in that season.

    Obviously there is some differential between some parts of the globe, warming as they care to use as a term may well not be equal in all parts of the globe.
