Rain...

Ahhh, my friends, as I write this I'm in the midst of a most wonderful, beautiful, enjoyable, fantastic three-day rainstorm.

And I mean Storm!  It's coming down in the half-inch an hour range.  Which means to the folks out here, it's like a fearsome, historic, Biblical blizzard in New Hampshire.  

And the reason it's so very special is that we who live in the Peoples' Republic of California actually don't experience it all that much.  Maybe 9 - 12 inches a year crammed into six weeks in Jan/Feb.  And since I come from a great place whose weather was four distinct seasons; Winter, two weeks of Spring, Summer, two weeks of Fall, and back to Winter again. 

So a bit of variety in the weather is appreciated by yours truly.  And nearly everyone I've spoken with lately who came here from someplace else agrees with me.  And all the rest think it pretty much sucks.  

Oh well...

But back to the primary subject.  All of you out there who've bought into this whole "Global Warming, or "Climate Change," or "Climate Chaos," scam need to think about something, and think about it quick.

Our climate moves from west to east.  And the Earth rotates from east to west.  Sooooo, the rain we're experiencing right now will be in Chicago in two days.  And from the looks of it, it just might shut it down.  

And it will be in New York City in three days.  And it will experience four inches of snow, a Big Deal in the Big Apple.  

And the next storm that hits us will move on east to play hell with Chi-Town and Philly.  And on, and on, and on...

Soooooo, the weather in India will be in China in a week.  And the weather in China will be in the U. S. of A. in another week.  Between them, they contain almost HALF the world's population.  1.2 Billion in India, 1.7 in China.  And neither India, nor China, are engaged in any, ANY significant carbon pollution abatement, AT ALL!

And, oh yeah.  They each open a coal-fired electricity generation plant EVERY WEEK!

Soooooo, while the "Climate-Believers" are doing their best to shut down the remaining coal mines in Kentucky, other nations are rendering our efforts moot.  We're sort of like a gnat on an elephant's ass in terms of pollution generation.

Remember, we sport only 5% of the Earth's population.  And we've reduced our carbon footprint enormously over the past few years, while still maintaining a reasonably comfortable life.  You know, driving, flying, eating meat, etc.

We "Climate-Deniers" have been given that moniker by folks who sort of resemble the finger-pointers back in Salem, Massassasssuhchusettts, don't they?

Sooooooo, unless and until they build a 60,000 foot-tall Plexiglas wall between us and the Pacific Ocean, to keep out all that noxious pollution from China and India and the rest of the Earth, I'd rather keep my money in my pocket instead of giving it to the Gummint to "fix" the weather.  

Until then, I think I'll get back to watching this delightful rainstorm.  Good luck, Chillicothe, Missouri...
