Yes, yes. What an odd topic to post for another random return, right? I've got a bad habit of doing that, I should look into coming around here more often... But anyway, yes. Weather.
Surely some of you have noticed something very odd about our rains and our sunny days... Especially this hurricane season. I mean, really, what kind of blasted season was this? Already so far, twenty-seven tropical depressions, twenty-four named storms, and they've already been into the Greek Alphabet for some time now, the most recent name having been Gamma. Oh, and pay a close note to this, we've had three Catagory 5 storms total. Doesn't matter that they reached land as they were, they actually made it to the big 5. Doesn't this worry anyone? Keeping in mind that the only Catagory 5's we've seen were about a decade or so apart from each other, rather than 3 in ONE SEASON like what we've seen.
And also, there are many smaller events that deal with crazy weather. Recently, Iowa, I believe, suffered an assault of a few tornados, the type of tornados being somewhat rare for that part of the area. Lats Christmas, my town that I reside in recieved several inches of SNOW. I live in Texas by the coast, mind, so I believe THAT to be plenty odd enough. I've also heard that (this is kinda un-weather-related) the North Ice Cap is kind of, er... metling away, so to speak.
All that comes to one question. Whats the bloody hell is going on? Is our weather just deciding to go nuts? Is global warming to blame? Is the sun expanding or something? Is or weather about to pull a Day-After-Tomorrow and make a drastic change? What do you believe? As for myself, I believe that this is the work of global warming, indeed. I mean, think about it. Temperatures have been steadily rising over the years, the blinkin' ICE CAPS are starting to wear thin... And we recieved a hefty amount of snow, in the Southeastern part of Texas. It all makes sense if you really htink about it.
What are your thoughts?
