 After a long, cold winter, which even saw snow and sleet fall in the West Midlands as recently as May, the UK is now gripped in a remarkably long heat wave - the BBC reporting today that over 700 people are dead as a result of the onslaught of daily rainless, windless heat!.....just a few months prior during the southern hemisphere's summer, Sydney,Australia reported a record temperature of 46C (115F) - at the same time, other parts of that continent were experiencing so much rain that severe floods were causing immense damage, while in Tasmania, forest raged uncontrollably across that island - not unlike the terrible, massive fires that engulfed large sections of New Mexico and Arizona just last month and caused the extremely sad deaths of 19 elite fire fighters.

There are clearly a vast array of examples of the fact that since humans began recording weather trends, the last few years have demonstrated some of the most extreme and significant changes of weather patterns across the globe

The debate therefore continues regarding the interactions between man-made and natural causation.....to what extent is this the earth going through one of its natural planetary "cycles" and to what extent can we blame increasing "carbon footprints"  (by countries all over the world) and by a globe where some 7,166,000,000 people now co-exist (that is the number of people alive on planet earth at the time of writing)?

Many argue that its a bit of both things - BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK AND WHAT SHOULD EACH ONE OF US, WHEREVER WE HAPPEN TO LIVE BE ATTEMPTING TO DO IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIVES TO LESSEN THE POSSIBILITIES OF MOTHER NATURE PRODUCING MORE AND MORE EXTREME WEATHER PATTERNS? PLEASE LET US HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION?
