We've had extreme heat last summer, extreme winter this year, extremes in precipitation, extremes in drought areas, and extremes in killings, both mass killing and in domestic affairs killing. <br />Think of a pendulum regulated clock, if it swings further in one direction then the opposite side will go higher too. Nudged by outside influences, like atmosphere, carbon emissions, amounts of warming melting, cooling freezes, etc. all added and mixed. Even tree cutting in the jungles.<br />Crazier and crazier the world is going. <br />Oh yes, old folk staying alive longer too! Fewer babies being born?<br />..<br /> Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-50643425004708894302021-06-28T02:35:25.863-04:002021-06-28T02:35:25.863-04:00Love your poem.

Although I have more than once commented that up here it might be a blessing. Don't know how we would cope with the worst cold if it actually coincided with the day long dark.<br /><br />If I remember correctly the reason has to do with the time it takes to chill/heat the planet, and the tilt of her axis.RedCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156035465648204943noreply@blogger.com
