but what about the weather?

A lot of things are happening around us that are unnerving for many.

Some of us believe the climate is changing in a warm way, and that is why storms are bigger and badder. Some say storms actually aren’t bigger and badder at all.

Some believe the changing climate is because of pollution caused by civilization. Some believe it is just natural climatic cycles.

Some of us believe the weather changes are being caused by men, but on purpose, by men trying to change the weather themselves.

In fact, it probably doesn’t really matter how we got here, because we are already seeing weather like we’ve never seen before. Witness the current tornado season, ongoing as we speak. There have been tornadoes doubling back into themselves. Multivortex tornadoes. Tornadoes going in the wrong direction (so to speak: tornadoes usually travel east, east northeast, and rarely southeast; almost never west.)

Stormchasers are tracking data like they’ve never been able to do before, also, and they’ve been documenting and filming intense meteorologic events since mid-May. You can ooh and aahh over cloud structures on YouTube to your heart’s content. I’m a cloud afficionado and the photos coming out of west Texas and Oklahoma these last few weeks have been stunning. Color. Light. The enormity of clouds. The open plains to see them from. It’s been a sky show for the books, tragic deaths notwithstanding.

So…climate change? Or aluminum particles? Cloud injections?

What about the recent solar flares that activated aurora borealis as far south as, well, the South?

Not disputing solar flares OR aurora borealis result — but the colors seemed unusual. Pink, red and purple?

Need someone besides Neal DeGrasse Tyson to explain that to me.

And the potential for Project Bluebeam being real…..compelling stuff.

We’re 5 days into official Hurricane Season and already the hyperbole is announcing Saharan drama unfolding our way.

May be an interesting summer, even without politics!
