Summer weather is almost here, they say...


Do weather forecasters lie a lot? Maybe not, but it sure seems like it most of the time. But then we have to remember that the air currents are always changing because of a multitude of factors, like heating from sunlight on the earth's surface (1,100 watts per square metre near the equator) and the effects of mountain ice-fields (melting too quickly now) and even the rotation of the earth in space. Complicated.  And no, I can't explain why it seems our seasons are rotating around the calendar, with winter starting later and staying with us later, or spring lasting until half-past summer. It's just weird. And probably related to Global Warming. And Global Warming is just another name for Overpopulation. And that may finally be controlled by this Covid-19 virus, or one like it, forcing us to keep our distance from one another, if we want to live long and prosper like Commander Spock says.
