8" to 12" & counting ...

About a year ago, yours truly made a guesstimate as as to how much time we have left regarding relative normalcy vis a vis global warming. The guesstimate was 3 years before the gorilla's true impact finally begins to take off. Seems the gorilla's getting rather impatient as CT just got between 8 to 12 inches of rain on August 17 - 18, an amount equivalent to what Houston got, courtesy 2017's Hurricane Harvey but without the wind, thank god. 

With this being said, let's talk about how climate change will impact the making of stuff, you know, the material one endlessly buys in today's materialist world as the prognosis' not good by any stretch of the imagination. In 2024, we are producing the most stuff ever, something that will radically change because GW's just beginning, a most disconcerting fact without question.

Fire and Ice | Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Seems fire and water will suffice but what do I know. I'm just a rube trying to cope in these uncertain times.
