A drop of rain.

A drop of rain multiplied by trillions & no sun to evaporate the wet = Muddy Waters

Buddy Love is crying about Climate change yet drives around in a petrol powered van!

Today we is concerned with whether the weather is wetter.
P.S. My little van feeds trees, food crops and herbs for health - It's all good and nutritious

But has it yet reached the magic 0.1% wetter than 25 years ago yet?

1. There's been a recent increase in rain (not carbon related, imho)
2. The Carbon cycle - Food for Plants. To the extent that some Botanists actually use bottled CO2 as an additional nutrient to encourage their lovely's to thrive better.

Some researchers, upon checking, have found it to feel much wetter than that. . .

Glasshouse growers have been doing it for years. I posted a link a few days back showing the optimum co2 level for various grass species was well over twice what it is now.

Yeah but we'd need a mini submarine to survive the summer in Australia now it's summertime down under.

. . . Ten people were killed in Australia after severe thunderstorms battered the country's east over the Christmas holidays, authorities said on Wednesday, with tens of thousands of properties still without power.

Wild weather lashed the states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland on December 25th and December 26th bringing large hailstones and torrential rains. Strong winds blew off roofs and brought down trees in some of the worst-affected areas. More than 90,000 households are still without power. . .

. . .The storms followed intense heatwaves that resulted in several bushfires and after Cyclone Jasper caused widespread damage.
"When you start to piece together the experiences of this summer so far it is clear that we are living through an era of escalating climate consequences," said Simon Bradshaw, research director at the independent nonprofit Climate Council.

Thunderstorms leave 10 people dead in Australia while thousands left without power

*In the middle of summer, throwing shrimp on the barbie's and sweating our nuts off we were rubbing oil onto our chaffed sunburned flesh, parched with thirst we reached into the beer cooler to find Sheila had packed alcohol free foam, Car had a flat so we set off walking into town, along the way Bruce pointed up into the sky and said 'Hey look at those huge dark clouds drifting towards us, maybe Santa's sending us some snow for Christmas?' he chuckled. . .*

"We never made it back to the Camp Site but I can smell the car must be around here somewhere" . . .

@Myles O'Reilly it's a hollywoodish take on climate change.
Enjoying a blistering hot summers day but 8 hours later to be shivering in the mud after being swept down hill by the torrents.
It's in the paper, paper - 'Read all about it!!

Shannon Callows​

Farmers lost “hundreds and hundreds” of acres this summer, trying their best to salvage grass, and have struggled for fodder this winter.

Some farmers had to sell their animals due to the land damage.

According to Broderick, floods have returned to the Callows in the past number of days, with severe heavy rainfall during Storm Gerrit.

“We would describe this year’s flooding as the worst we’ve seen in our lives. The worst and the longest,” Broderick said.

Farmers left without funding after Shannon Callows flooding - Agriland.ie

Many farmers along the Shannon Callows claim that they have not received funding for damaged land due to excessive flooding

Not that they’d be looking for a government handout at all.

New Year, same old story.

Heavy rain last night, more misery later today.

After lunch - Back to bed with a hot water bottle

That's not in Ireland Love. We don't have timber houses like that here.
