Ken S<p>p.s Added comment on ‘Global Weirding’</p><p>Despite the consistency of ‘Global Weirding’ with expectations previously held of ‘Global warming’ it still serves as a critical and important observation that needed to be established.</p><p>It serves as a direct rebuke of the ‘Global warming is good’ brigade.<br>The ‘Pros’ that the brigade heavily relies on the idea that ‘Global warming is consistent and predictable’.<br>This is particularly the case with climate sensitive industry sectors like Hospitality and Tourism, Agriculture and Aquaculture, etc.</p><p>For example, <br>- Global warming is good: <br>Warmer climate means being able to develop agriculture in colder regions.</p><p>- Global weirding:<br>Horticulture of Grapes in regions that have become ‘warmer’ in North America is unreliable if the region is also prone to early and prolonged fire seasons and sudden cold blasts.<br> <br>It’s like playing ‘Russian Roulette’ with hundreds of millions on the table.</p><p>Climate sensitive industries and (industrial) cultural practices rely on hundreds of years of predictable climate patterns. Instead we are now facing climate patterns which are subject to change ever 10-or-so-years.</p><p>That’s bloody ‘weird’, to epically understate the situation.<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GlobalWarning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarning</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GlobalWeirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWeirding</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusBiz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusBiz</span></a></p>
