We never meet this before, and we're not prepared for it either. There's a lot more to it than just global warming, where it all works in tandem, first presenting itself in everything becoming more expensive.

and that is coupled to resources and economy, governments and GDP, schools and education, infra structures as private transportation and jobs. And it all goes into each other and a game, without a future.

And in the end you will have to learn what I'm discussing.

Basics, but you won't learn until you start to starve,

Everything circles around USA those days, and so did that 'November 2023 El Nino update'.

How about Europe?

I do have one kind of prediction, related to this one and Sweden.

https://weather.co/analysis/winter-2023-2024-snowfall-predictions-more-snow-is-now-forecast-in-the-latest-model-data-as-we-head-closer-to-the-next-weather-season/

And that is that I expect sudden turnarounds not seen before, well, as I remember. Like with our last winter in where a sudden snowfall became so strong that it broke trees, limbs cracking. And for that one I would look to a generally defined increased humidity in the atmosphere, water vapor. and clouds of course, you need both.

Which move me to another unknown. The fact that that micro and nano plastics also becomes nucleus for cloud formations. It's up in our atmosphere with everything else 'naturally' belonging there, dust etc. And as we're doubling that production we will have a lot more of it. Which makes me wonder if there's any current computer model taking things like that into consideration?

We have so many of them, optimists, each one secure in their own little shell buoyed by their bank accounts and beliefs. Getting none the wiser.

Another very strong sign is how those various 'ideologies' has worked out. Our Western ones now falling apart into sheer force, no illusions or disinformation able to hide it. In where people pressured by them starting to wonder what it all was about. As that surgeon in Gaza thinking that Israels 'offensive' on hospitals only can mean one thing.

And to make it even clearer, religions aren't any different from ideologies. You need to differ faith from religion, but you don't.

So USA, and so all of us in the West, are by now waging a war on three fronts, one asymmetric, the other two with a overwhelming ability of escalating into nuclear.

So I finally went and bought myself a washing machine. It got something called 'ecobubbles' that according to the information from the company is thought to minimize the spread of micro and nano plastics from washing ones clothes? Well, supposedly cleaning stains too. But it made me think of how we call it 'progress', a ban wouldn't let you wash those clothes any longer, you wouldn't have them.
