Editorial Opinion: The Climate Change

The Climate Change

It is rather peculiar to keep addressing this alarming change in weather. It is not a mystery ... the climate has and will continue changing.

I would say it was a beautiful weather day yesterday. No coats on this winter day. Outstanding!

I rather enjoyed sitting on the deck glancing over information on my laptop. The birds were excited. They actually got feed early. For me, I have deserved the ass-chewing from the local tree birds for not dutifully refilling their feeders.

But it is when the couple across the way exclaimed ... Look the forsythia is in bloom!

Now my little bush had some blooms but theirs is in full bloom. The forsythia is native to China. It does not bloom here in the U.S. until Spring.

So, this is when the beautiful weather day gets a little serious for thinking minds.

I decided that it was time to check on photos from the West Coast storm.

There was a tornado in L.A.  No mud slides ... those were rock slides!!! It is alarming to see rock deep enough to reach the eves of a house. It was explained that previous forest fires left no ground cover and as a result the rain streamed the ground rock downwards.

Around my home there have been endless signs of Climate Change. 

The rock is washing down the hillsides. Not like what happened there the last several days on the West Coast but none-the-less; it is happening.

I've noticed dragonflies that look like a mini drone. Armored little beasts. The delicacy of lacy wings are absent. Tiffany would have No inspiration. This is a Sci-Fi environment that has become reality.

Last night my location was under severe weather alerts.  No, it was not about snow or ice.

I have said for a long time now; give me a deck chair and a white umbrella so, I can enjoy when the dolphin jumps in the back yard.

The oceans are rising! There are plenty of photos online to verify this comment globally.

During the Mesoproterozoic Era, the Gulf of Mexico extended up into the flat lands West of Bella Vista, Arkansas, which is an area along the 540/ US 49. There is an enormous amount of geological history within the rocks.
