The eerie light of global warming


Lately have you noticed the severe storms tearing up the atmosphere around the world.? We have had a series of electrical storms that nearly wiped out the orchard industry in the nearby Orange district. Last week, just as another storm was gathering in the west, the sky turned eerie and I shot this pic of the old workshop shed next to the cottage on "Uamby".
They say global warming is not causing the storms, but it could be making them more severe. We have had two incidents of computers being fried during a storm... Hardly the damage of a Tsunami, but a private crisis for us and our insurers. Local farmers with oats sown have seen half their crops flattened by storms. (Flat oats can't be harvested.)
And while Rome burns - global warming gets worse - President Bush and his sidekick Honest John Howard refuse to sign the Kyoto Protocol or to acknowledge that global warming is reality. Don't blame them for being dumb. Blame whoever voted for them.
