yesterday's & today's weather created some more newly poor


american citizens. as does the wild weather all over the globe cause newly poor in those countries.


with the weather constantly causing negativity - what will result from that?

it has not happened before - that the whole earth suffers the same negativity at the same time.

I can't get my mind to project on what the consequence of this will be since it has never happened before.

any thoughts?

2. Or possibly dumbstruck by your assertion that
"wild weather" has never happened before.

The only thing predictable about the weather is its unpredictability.
The only thing normal about the weather is that so called "severe weather" happens all the time.
Man has defined what is "normal". Tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, cold waves, heat waves, floods, droughts and anything else you can point to are normal. They have happened all the time. There is no average weather anywhere on the globe.

Yesterdays outbreak of storms is not unusual or to be unexpected.

Try this on for size.

February 19, 1884: The Great Southern Tornado Outbreak
Over 60 tornadoes swept the entire Southeast. At least 170 were killed, possibly more. Considered the largest outbreak until the Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974.

Then ask yourself, "What was going on in 1884 that caused an outbreak of "wild weather"?

5. Isolated weather conditions have always caused severe weather. The difference between then and now
is the world-wide spread and frequency of incidences. It's not just a few regional anomolies...

6. Including *fewer hurricanes* the past season?
The weather is all over the place and it *has always been* After all there was a time in the not too distant past that England had a great climate for vineyards..

3. It will be bad.

Every continent will be undergoing crisis simultaneously.

Mad Max meets Waterworld.

:(


edit: my terrible spelling habits won't matter then.
