Australia Is On So Much Fire, You Can See It From Orbit
Jeremy Lee writes "Temperatures in Australia this week hit the point where the Bureau of Meteorology had to invent a new color. And with heat and winds come Bushfires. So it's probably good that I made a real-time bushfire map with every known source of public data directly relating to fires in Australia, mostly because fire doesn't respect state borders."
From space.
Yes, because English teachers are the only ones against it. Everyone else understands that it's acceptable when used properly.
Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that the north pole melted to record small levels this years. This is an isolated incident of freak weather, as was Sandy.
It's all about finding better ways
You know must of us English speakers, both in the USA and else were would have written "So Much of Australia is on Fire" for a headline. "Australia Is On So Much Fire" Sounds like George Lucas is posting now.

seeing a whole graph of temperature (or daily max, or daily mean or whatever) against time will always tell you much more about a trends than a list of its peaks can.
An ice age is not a multi-variable problem. Understanding how they came to be and changing the climate, however, is.
Since it is difficult in how it forms and goes away, I said it was dangerous to engineer a climate change, because it's a damn difficult multi-variable problem, and chances are we won't be able to predict the side effects of changing the delicate climate.
Yet I like to see anyone deny that we're still in an ice age, and how the ice is still melting more than there's water being frozen, anualy.
Here be signatures
It is possible, but if it did it would be a temporary effect that would only mask the problem. Eventually, the particles would settle out of the atmosphere and the climate would heat up extremely fast. Maintaining particulates in the air wouldn't be a viable option either as this would just be creating pollution on a massive scale to fight global warming. This would be the "releasing thousands of snakes to fight a lizard problem and then releasing thousands of gorillas to take care of the snakes" plan. Except there wouldn't be a winter to kill off the gorillas.
My sci-fi novel, Ghost Thief, is now available from Amazon.com.
I find it slightly ironic that you're talking about the demise of the English language when evolving use is a sure sign of a living language.
Meanwhile, down under is burning. Could you all topic drift back to that huge problem?
