Interesting article in this year’s Old Farmer’s Almanac.
According to the story, 40% of the U.S. live in coastal regions. Between fire, flood, excessive heat and drought the authors were predicting a mass migration to the interior of the country and discussed the impact of infrastructure in those areas.

I knew when we started dropping all those satellites and rovers on the moon, bad things would happen.

Who was the pol that wanted the orbit of the Moon altered to help with global warming? Maybe he was on to something. /s

=Nasa is warning=
Wonderful. Just wonderful. This is really gonna go well with the sea level rise we’ve signed up for.
=were predicting a mass migration to the interior of the country=
Definitely a possibility. As Climate Change gets worse in coastal areas, there could very likely be higher demand to move inland. Hopefully we’re in a position to take advantage of that.
=discussed the impact of infrastructure in those areas.=
The one biggest thing I’ve noticed since getting involved in Climate issues is the importance of infrastructure. Yes, we will need better infrastructure to handle a potential influx of climate refugees. However, we already need to be focusing on climate resiliency in our infrastructure. Climate Change means more heat and more flooding here in Illinois and our current infrastructure is dramatically unprepared.
Go to your local city council and county board meetings. Make sure they’re including climate resiliency in their planning for projects. Keep advocating for being prepared in advance, because it just gets more costly as we wait.

…warning of a “wobble” in America’s democracy that is set to see the world face significantly more man-made disasters.
An onslaught of anti-democratic activities in the mid-2021 is expected, we’ve been warned.

CILiving on channel 3 Champaign did interview with a director of a film being made there and Rantiul, then moving to Chicago. Asked why Champaign and Illinois, tax breaks for independent film makers.
Talk about a wobble, coming to Illinois because of low taxes. Who would have thunk it..

A wobbling moon. A ticking clock. And the tides are rising. “We have a situation, Mr. President….”; “a lunar realignment is the only way to stop it…”; “Bruce Willis is busy, guys. I’ll go….”. When the Right Stuff isn’t even half of it, and he always wanted to be an astronaut. An ordinary man doing something for all Mankind. “I’ll try not to step on the footprints, now send the arming codes.” ORBIT. Soon in theaters.

I hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but with that predicted behavior, it sounds like we are really going to see the dark side of the moon.

Alright so can the Bears win in NFC East in 2035?

-Important- Not impossible, but highly improbable.

If it makes you feel any better, Lake Michigan isn’t really affected by tides. So Chicago is more or less safe.

Is Region 4 (Metro East) going back to COVID mitigations soon? Sorry to be late to the game on this but yesterday’s positivity rate there was 7.8%.

Great First, zombie cicadas, and now this!

Mother Nature has warned us and now NASA is. Maybe it is time for our politicians to act on climate change. Climate refugees is not a pun, please wake up.

Fires. Floods. Crime. Covid. Sox against winning teams. Moon wobble. Pass me some Maker’s Mark.

“Alright so can the Bears win in NFC East in 2035?” Maybe if the Moon wobbles even more than expected.

Delta variant is in Effingham County, which has a 34% vaccinated rate.
Lambda variant is in 23 countries.
Mask up, campers. I predict a long, ugly fall and winter.

Yes, wow, Mom and Dad had us all prepared for the ice age back in the 70’s that was coming that the scientists all told us was going to happen for real. We have since desert land that will become beachfront property when all the ice melts.
