El nino is shifting for worse

 

Brace up people climate is shifting for worse. Strongest El Nino on record is brewing on the horizon. Human caused climate change is turbocharging it. This looks like shift is cascading in real time. Erratic and extreme weather pattern is set to become a norm. Indian subcontinent is set to face extreme temperature and drought as monsoon weakens- though with increased moisture western coastal region will see increased cumulonimbus formations that cause heavy windy rain in short period. Fragile region of western ghats impacted by deforestation and mining will increase probability of flash floods and landslides as also increased intensity of cyclones along eastern coast. Nature nurtures life but is neutral to human concerns. “If there is mother nature it’s b*tch of a mother!” that’s inimitable Slavoj Zizek -quite popular contemporary philosopher.

Another word I stopped preferring is 'hope'. Hope is an irrational emotion associated with irrationality but it goes very well with context of the last poem on pi instead of 'thought'.
