   Japan? Is that anywhere near Norway? Since it’s NIMBY, I’m not going to pay it much attention—-it’s college football day anyway, and like all good ‘Muricans, one must pay attention to what’s really important. (Or go shopping).

     Shopping IS important! It keeps the developed world economy strong. Geez, Where are your priorities, SHTF will not happen today.

       Shame the planet has to be strip mined, to supply all that useless junk the shopper cult have been trained to believe they “must have”, as part of its’ journey to the landfill. But I guess extinction is just the price of a strong economy?

   The most important story is…Hong Kong’s desperate fight for democracy…no, Brexit…no, Tokyo typhoon…, no, abandonment of Kurds to slaughter by Turks…no, London climate protests… no, impeachment investigation… no, caging of immigrant children… no, oil war between Saudi Arabia and Iran… no, LA wildfire… no, Iraqi protests…

   Time for a drink.

     Talking of Hong Kong, change of government, trouble and conflict in the streets, but “The Observatory” still taking independent readings and supplying info to the press.

     Extreme precipitation events have become more frequent. The hourly rainfall record at the Hong Kong Observatory headquarters was broken several times in the last few decades, whereas it used to take several decades to break the record in the past.

     Is the Hong Kong Observatory in bed with NASA and JMA ? The grand nutty crackpot conspiracy.

     Hong Kong’s record for hot nights in a year over 28 degrees already smashed by September with 45 – most since records began in 1884
     September 13 hit 33 degrees, making it the hottest Mid-Autumn Festival ever recorded
     Last month also had 26 per cent more sunshine and 60 per cent less rainfall – with experts pointing to climate change

   I remember following the awesome story of Tokyo flood prevention, with Cathedral like chambers below. Just wonder how that’s working out in these hours of severe testing.

   “An intricate system of dams, levees and tunnels defends the Japan’s capital. Will it be able to cope with climate change?”

   Purple skies, sounds like a rock song title – but apparently they occur from nature, during fierce storms….

   As hundreds of thousands of people were ordered to evacuate, residents posted images of the bright purple and pink sky on social media.
