Posted 8 Mar 2022 by Les Bayliss Post: And how's that climate change and not just (freak) weather? I'm glad you asked. :) I got interested in the weather back in the late 70's watching the weather patterns change over the years, so when I read about Oxford's Climate Prediction program in New Scientist sometime in 2003, it got me interested. But I felt my computer then wasn't up to it, and wished it was a bit better. Then, in 2004, it went phut, so I grabbed the chance to get something much better. (Wishs DO come true. :) ) And joined up in September. Back then, not many were interested in the changing weather, but now it's a bit different. (Except for the government.) The local ABC news often has something about how climate changes are affecting the planet. As the seas get warmer, marine life is moving from the tropics, south to cooler areas. Plants in Australia are appearing higher up mountains, and the wild life is moving with them. Except they're starting to run out of altitude, and some are becoming endangered. IPCC report: Australian coral, kelp, alpine and some forest ecosystems at risk of irreversible damage due to climate change Window to save ourselves from climate change 'rapidly closing', IPCC warns There's only one Earth. There is no Plan B. |

Posted 8 Mar 2022 by Les Bayliss Post: A bit more to add: Severe electrical storm after my lost post. It lasted for an hour at least, and seemed right overhead, although the BOM rain radar map says it was a bit to the south. I could see the lightning flashes around the blinds, and was hoping it would stay cloud to cloud, and not produce any ground strikes. Must have gone to sleep after that. Woke up at 4am, and found evacuation messages on all my phones, from just after midnight. I'm about 70 feet above sea level, and almost as much about a storm water channel at the end of a nearby creek, so fairly safe. My paths have been covered with running water, and all of the grassed areas are boggy. On this mornings news it said that tens of thousands of people are under immediate evacuation order, and a lot of houses are flooded, or under water. Most of this is a fair way to the west and to the south of me. And there's more to come. Latest news from our national broadcaster: ABC |

Posted 7 Mar 2022 by Les Bayliss Post: Grumble: I'm tired of climate change already. It's been raining for weeks up and down the east coast of Australia, and right now where I am in Sydney it's coming down so hard it's like being under a vertical river. It's been like this for hours, on and off, and is supposed to continue for days yet. The rain gauge says 107mm, and it's only 10pm. My cats not happy about it either. :( |
