Is That A Large Rock In Your Spacesuit…….

Or are you just pleased to see me!

 

 Well, apparently we suffered another very near miss tonight, which gives me yet another excuse to put what’s left of my life into perspective and re-evaluate what is really important to me. This is always a useful exercise, it helps one to stay fresh in thoughts, ideas and plans, and forces you to look ahead as opposed to dwelling in past mistakes.

Some things in life are inevitable, and some are avoidable, the same as these asteroids, only I feel we do have slightly more control over these events in our lives. It’s just a small matter of perspective, outlook and lessons learned.

I for one am recovering from one of the biggest mistakes I nearly ever made, and happily learning that life can be oh so good, if you just relax and give it a chance to flourish.

Draconid Meteor Shower Expected Tonight

The End Of The World? Nah but should be an amazing sight!

Assuming the skies over the UK actually clear by this evening, if you are out and about between 8pm and 10pm BST, do take a few moments to glance upwards. With any luck, there should be a free “fireworks” display in the night sky, and apparently there should be an almost-full moon tonight as well to enjoy!

This will make it harder to see some of the meteors, but if we get the hundreds  of meteors per hour that are expected, then there should still be quite a display!

Some more info listed below for you:

Climate Change : One World Government Attempts To Start AGW Security Force (via Tory Aardvark)

In a perfect world, I’d win the lottery and buy my own small island away from it all, BUT probably get invaded there also!
I’m no expert, but from a layman’s point of view, doesn’t the UN tend to supposedly assist in humanitarian atrocities, but only actually attempt to achieve this aim in oil-bearing and therefore politically strategic countries, neither of which can possibly be described as green in any way shape or form?
And given my personal belief in that all this climate change stuff is simply our beautiful planet strutting her stuff, as she has been for millions of years without our help or interference, the above news seems very scary indeed!
More excuses for the power-hungry to gain more of a foothold

 

This is probably the most disturbing recent twist in the Great Global Warming scam, the pretenders to one world government the UN want to change the brief of its Private Army Peacekeeping force so that the one world government can deploy armed force to any country where they have deemed that war or civi … Read More

Why The Global Warming Agenda of Chris Huhne And The EU Is Wrong (via Tory Aardvark)

This video is well worth looking at, many thanks to Tory Aardvark for sharing this with us all

 

This video by Dr. Roy Spencer, a Climate Change skeptic and meterologist explains in a neat and concise way what is wrong with the argument used by the warming alarmists that everything man does is directly responsible for every change in weather or natural disaster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvObfrs3qoE … Read More

Strange Climatic Times Ahead?

Am I the only one wondering why there has been very little coverage of actual events occurring UK wide right now?

I have a lot of contacts across the UK, all of whom reported the same as I found with regards to the sheer amount of dust/dirt/sand appearing overnight on cars, gardens, roofs etc yesterday and today…

This odd heatwave didn’t actually occur here where I am in the naturally hottest part of the UK……

And loads of lightning strikes all on the same day??

AND an odd tidal surge??

And lots of us here in the South West are getting big static shocks from pretty much everything we touch today and this evening.

I know there have been a few volcanic eruptions lately, and that the Sun decided to wake up a bit and throw out an extra large sunspot, AND that we had yet another “near miss” with an asteroid, NONE OF WHICH CAN BE BLAMED ON GLOBAL WARMING although I’d be willing to bet someone somewhere WILL attach the blame to just that!

Not to mention here in the South West the skies have been behaving very oddly, with rolling fog this time of year that just wouldn’t clear all day, and some very strange looking evening skylines and sunsets.

BUT what really IS going on with all this crazy weather?

Somebody please enlighten me, or at least confirm that I am not going totally bonkers!

No Lunar Lightshow….But A Really Pretty Sunset!

 

No fantastic Lunar display for me here, far too many clouds, but we DID get a lovely sunset!

Anyone up for a Monster Raving Lunar Party Tonight?

I have just been trawling through the net catching up on todays news, and after noticing that the cloud-laden sky last night had gone a peculiar shade of pale red, found this bit of news that explains all and promises for a fantastic event to be glimpsed in our UK skies tonight!

Shamelessly quoted from ITV News:

A total lunar eclipse will turn the moon dark red tonight.

It doesn’t happen very often.

The last one was on August 6, 1971 and the next one will be 47 years from now in 2058.

Cloud-permitting it will be visible across much the UK shortly after sunset – approximately 9:15pm.

And a lot more detail on the event here from the Guardian

Methinks this will be well worth staying up and popping out to have a peek at, so, who’s up for a party then!

Climate Change – Belief Is A Regional Thing (via Tory Aardvark)

If our government could actually provide concrete evidence that all the extra tax dosh they are extorting from us in the guise of “climate change” was actually doing something positive and tangible to help, then I might be a lot less peeved at them and a lot more interested

Belief in Climate Change is a regional thing, just 25% of people in Britain believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming, where as in India 50% of the population believe in man made climate change. Ipsos Mori conducted a poll of 18,000 people in 24 countries, Britain had the lowest number of believers, follow … Read More
