Weather or not there is terror...
Has it been colder than normal here in Tucson? A good sum of my plants have been killed by the several nights of freeze. I could not cover them all. The rest of the world complains it's too warm. I live to live outside, and am already tired of the inside.
If you've mostly been reading about the globe's warmest December on record, or the fact New York City had its first December without snow since the 1890's, the visual media is now catching up in a hurry. As a logical way to tell the story, Stern offers a 15 page photo gallery juxtaposing scenes in specific places this January as compared to last. Some photos from Munich. - bagnewsnotes.com.
The New York Times has this interesting article about Greenland too...
I just finished reading a book called The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, so these things are on my mind. These things, and human nature. The sky, the trees, bodies of water, the road connecting the shorelines. How cold it could be, may be, if. The book reminded me of the truth of what terrible creatures we are when reduced to ourselves without equipment, food and shelter and other life. Without our trappings. Without our reasons to live. It even sounds flat to the ear of the man who can not imagine it. Terrible creatures. Terrifying. It is true, as I was duly warned, that this book was deeply depressing. But I still recommend it. It doesn't have much to do with global warming though.
Here's a good review I found online.
