How much do you worry about the shifting and intensifying of our Monsoon?

[GammaGlobulin]

My Dear Friends,

 

Yes. I am worried.

I worry that the monsoon we depend on may shift, temporally, and arrive a month or two months later than it normally does, here in Chiang Mai.

 

If this happened to me, then what should I do?

Bake in the Hot Season Oven for an extra month?

This would actually not bother me because I now have 70,000 BTU/h of Cooling Power, right at my fingertips, anytime I feel like flicking a switch and setting the temp controls to MAX.

 

What I worry about is that the monsoon that Thailand depends upon may become both more extreme and also unpredictable.

How would my lawn survive if that were to happen, I wonder....

 

And what about you?

Have you given this important Topic much thought, so far?

 

Of course, we know that this is Global-Warming-related.

And, we know that the two most likely candidates for the USA prez, and any others in USA gov, such as senators and congressmen, have ZERO interest and will to do the right thing.

Also, now that we have delayed many decades, there is no longer enough time to avert what is bound to happen, because....

 The inertia is already baked into the atmospheric system, not to mention the inertia of our oceans, and....etc., etc., etc.

 

So then, might as well forget about any unreasonable hope of ameliorating or lessening the impact already in the cards, Warmingly Speaking.....

 

How much do you worry about this?

What will you do to avoid, personally, the impacts upon both you and yours?

For example, will you try to find some Safe Haven, for the remaining twenty years of your life?

I think twenty is probably Tops, if one is feeling very optimistic.

AI is crazy, yes...but....much of what this AI has reproduced here seems OK, to me.

Listening to an AI tell us what we need to know about increasing Monsoon variability and intensification is always good for a laugh...

 

However, I see nothing else particularly funny about this Topic.

 

Do you expect to see huge changes during the next five to ten years, here in Chiang Mai?  And, in other areas of Thailand?

 

Fondest regards,

Gamma

It may shift. If it does shift, people will adapt. Nature plays rough. Wear a helmet.
