I'm down at Rawai Beach currently having a coffee and it's overcast, sort of cool, and the wind is blowing parallel to the beach.

Seems strange for this time of year, sort of expecting clear blue skies and smokin hot.

Is there anywhere in this world that has 'expected' weather any more. Seems to me that weather patterns are all screwed up these past couple of years.

Then again, if we look the weather for longer period of time, there has been different weathers during the years.

Now the weather has been talked a lot and people tend to notice every change on weather pattern.

The climate change deniers are everywhere.

The climate change deniers are everywhere.

Well, who is denying what? I believe that the climate in on constant change. Never stable.

There are mid Atlantic circulation which have a cycle of 20 to 40 years. This will effect the weather in Europe. There is global currents which start from Greenland and end up in the Indian Ocean. I have no idea of the cycle time. Smaller scale we have El Nino and la Nina with four year cycles (or two years each). Some day we'll find longer cycles which have caused for example ice ages.

Latest estimates say that the Mayans were destroyed due long lasting droughts. Well, maybe their root cause was also huge CO2 emissions?

The whole CO2 hysteria has turned against itself. In Europe, there would be more healthy way to produce energy from the coal/natural gas and oil. Naturally the nuclear energy is the cleanest of them all.

Now the energy cost is getting high in Europe due all kind of CO2 taxes... and the result is that more and more production and therefore energy is moving to Asia. Jere is the result of it. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2012/01/a65d8c604b8dddb2b0dcc37fa5b99936.gif

I do not believe that we are able to reduce energy consumption in a long term. Therefore I'm all for the ways to generate energy in a way that it will harm the nature and pollute air.

So I would not go for the current, pretty naive, fashion to blame everything on human generated CO2 emissions. I would put the efforts to generate particle free energy to lessen the pollution, which is getting worse and worse each year.

Amazing, we went from it seems like strange weather today to climate change in just a post or two. It was blue skies and smokin' hot just a day ago. But the wind this year has been shifty. We're still in a La Nina pattern (cooler water around the equator from South America to Indonesia, I think is at least one definition of the pattern), so it won't be as hot hopefully, as two years ago when we were in an El Nino and the coral was being cooked to death by the high water temperatures and the land by severe drought, at least in this part of the world.

I also noted the wind change. Seems early. But back to the normal today. I really enjoyed the rain last night. Took a little motorbike ride this morning around 630am. Nice and cool…..When it’s nice like that, my daughter always says, “Go around one more time Papa”
