Climate Change

Much has been written and talked about the effects on our life from climate change.While I was reading the morning paper and half listening to the news on TV I was amazed how the weather was the big news. Every continent was mentioned. The big freeze in the north east USA, the tragic floods in Brazil and Australia, the freeze up in much of China and of course the horrific weather in Europe. We have to be aware of the climate changes over the past few years but particularly this year.

A smaller story about horoscopes showed or reported that the gravitation of the moon changed the alignment of the stars so there will be  changes in your sign. I will no longer be a Capricorn and so on. Although these events probably are unrelated you only have to use your imagination to see startling ramifications if ever there were changes to the solar system and who is to say it could not occur. Science can only observe, report and try to predict the important changes that might come about as a result of events in space.

Sun spots were observed years ago before our communication systems were in place but look at their effect when they are acting up. Everyone talks about the weather but only a few really understand how dependent we are on reporting and using scientific data in our daily lives. This morning I can only say that the sun is shining and it is a perfect day to garden or better still, play golf.
