New Normal

The New Normal.
The new normal applies to... well... many things. 
Generally to convey that what ever it applies to has not only gotten worse, but will continue, and will continue probably get worse. Surprised? 
Not really. Surprised or shocked is usually  when the reality of events falls outside the perception of what was once normal.
Severe weather... more severe, more frequent, more destructive.
Lately we keep hearing of 100 year weather events... but they are happening ever few years... not every 100 years. 
Climate change. The Earth has undergone numerous extreme climate changes over thousands of years. Cycles that occur over and over time and again. We are at the beginning of extreme climate changes.
Changes in the past have resulted in extinction events... or extreme culling of human and wildlife populations. 
And to think that humanity could prevent the downhill slide of devastating changes that will adversely affect humanity and all living creatures... well... call it human arrogance.


Extreme climate changes ... the new normal. 


Recently lightning strikes have become more frequent.

Lightning kills.
