Tell me in a million years how much man affected it. I suspect we will be gone long before that and the planet will be moving on without us.

Meanwhile let's enjoy our music playing in our hi-fi stereo sound systems.
That's a safe way to retire in a pandemic world of chaos. It's peaceful.

So much great music to discover and rediscover...not enough time ...

Man has certainly a major influence on the stock markets and the economy.
And the economy has an influence on his bank account and stereo system.

Last week's events were another major blow for global supply chains and now industry experts are warning businesses and consumers more delivery delays, shortages, and even more acute price hikes are coming. A series of disasters, including devastating floods in China and Europe, could result in empty grocery shelves, out-of-stock products, and prolonged shipping delays, exacerbating the already strained global supply chains. Western Europe and China’s Henan province - key transportation centers and home to several major businesses - are struggling to resume operations as the disasters have severely damaged railways used for the delivery of goods and raw materials in both regions. Companies in the supply chain industry reported that "water rushed into industrial areas extensively damaging facilities".

Hopefully you all realize these global economy issues are being created to aid with the great reset. There are no real climate change/global warming issues of any real threat or Obama would not have just purchased a $12 million waterfront property on Martha's Vineyard, which according to him will be under water in no time, or should have been already. Wake Up People, we are all being duped by the Globalists.

(and while they are now trying to put us all back in masks and locked down, Obama is throwing a 60th birthday party with 700 guests and Pearl Jam. Think they will all be masked up? Rules for us and Rules for them)

One of my wife's friends sent her a text this morning saying.

" If you listen to much news and the government your are worried we will wear masks for ever and still die. If you don't than just Wednesday."
 
35 Celsius (95°F) here today, and it's hot, it's dry, you can't water the grass, water is rare, the economy is in rebound, the tech stocks are doing just great, revenues are up, jobs are up, real estate is up, cars are selling, music is still playing.

They transport icebergs to countries in need of water, they hire more firefighters, they build better stronger dams, restaurants are open, the food is excellent, we live in all comfort of all things and services. ...La vie en rose.

The alligators in Florida don't wear masks, and neither the sharks.
The beaches are lovely, the sand soft.
AC is working, gaz is still filling tanks, the dollar is strong.

Climate change? What does it have to do with the economy when sitting by the swimming pool and relaxing with a martini.

"The alligators in Florida don't wear masks, and neither the sharks", but each can still kill you,.
 
The WHO announced that people here should not get booster shots of second series shots because other countries don't have access to vaccines.

Regardless of how you feel about vaccinations, who is the WHO to demand the country that has developed and paid for most of the vaccines, should not use it to the fullest should the choose to.
 
A lot of people never imagined the world could ever reach this point. Many preferred to assume that this crisis would rapidly end and, eventually, things would come back to 'normal' and everyone's lives would be just fine somehow. But here we are in the second half of 2021, and conditions have never seemed worse. Global crises are getting aggravated at an alarming pace, and extreme weather conditions are leading to the destruction of millions of acres of agricultural land, where the food we consume all over the planet is produced, while thousands of people are also falling victim to the extraordinarily high temperatures. In Northern Mexico, a region known for its cattle farming and meat production, thousands of cows are facing starvation and death due to a ravaging drought.

Shipping delays, chip shortages, droughts, ... somehow doesn't seem to affect the overall economy. The economy is healthy, jobs are filling up, the markets are filling up, the music is still playing in listening rooms, the cheques are coming up, the accounts are filling up, the things that matter most economically are not giving up. Sure few glitches here and there, but nothing sweating that we can't handle.

If only man knew how to create rain clouds ...
 
97% of climate scientists believe in global warming and man has made some contribution to it. Who thinks they are wrong?
