all the data pretty
normal here but what does that signify? everybody thought this winter especially cold; no, it’s the last three that were unnaturally mild. Define the norm by wild arcs & troughs then “normal” doesn’t tell you much “as our planet warms at different rates, frequency of these long abnormal stretches could increase.” but you can get used to anything if it becomes normal enough. meanwhile another downpour last night; massive dam releases à river flooding & dozens of levees breaking along arkansas river; state of ark. losing $20 mil/day; “turning farms into inland seas” machinery swamped; soil supersaturated farmers can’t plant; aussie farmers can’t either – record dry soil there, even as “snow fell in sub- tropical queensland” “the weather seems to be more unusual every year to me,” he said. “something’s changing. i don’t know what it is.” which is what the papa says in the turin horse, just before the well goes dry & lights go out & the family cannot continue their daily routine meanwhile “47,434 people affected” by paraguay r. floods; afghan drought, crop failure (other side of country underwater); n. korea record drought (on top of previous famine); donor countries give less than half what mozambique needs to rebuild after cyclones; deadly flooding in somalia, serbia; polar jet pushes rain northward of alberta & b.c. so they burn (this is an oversimplification but not by much) 122 f along pakistan/india border lake ontario at record water level meanwhile 215 largest companies predict $1 trillion loss from chaotic weather, mostly in next 5 yrs (this is going to cost the petty bourgeoise a pretty penny.) you’re sick of the latest predictions i get it tired of all the apocalypses but what i’m writing is happening now signified unto joseph who bare record of all the things that he saw
