I'm sitting in my study in the coolest part of early morning with the windows open. I'll close them soon to stop hotter air entering. I use this time of day to work on my computer.

Meanwhile, an intense heat wave hovers over England. Only last week, I felt cold. My neighbor, a well endowed woman with high blood pressure, doesn't ever feel the cold. Perhaps it's not so bad to carry extra fat. (The same can't be applied to the high blood pressure, but medicine controls that.)

This week, it's almost too hot. My husband reported two separate incidents in our local high street yesterday. Ambulance attendants were treating collapsed people at either end of the road.

There's something wrong with our weather. It goes from extreme cold in the winter, more rainfall than ever recorded in spring, to record-breaking heat in summer.

A television program explained why, during a time of global warming, England experiences such cold winters. As the North Pole ice melts and falls into the sea, the direction of the wind changes to blow cold Siberian air west instead of east. Other countries are even hotter. When balanced out, the temperatures have risen overall. This melting ice triggers extreme fluctuations in the weather. We can expect more of the same if the trend continues.

Whether global warming is a natural phenomenon or caused by man, the earth will survive. However, mankind is in danger. Apparently, humans have developed to their present stage in the last three thousand years of steady weather conditions. If a change occurs, we need to find ways to adapt.

Worrying about what might not happen is useless. Let's make the best of today. Let's love those around us (thy neighbor) and treat others with understanding. I'm going to write more of my current novel and make it the best I possibly can. What about you?

Nice article about something everyone is experiencing right now. It doesn't matter if you are located on the North or South hemisphere, it is everywhere the same. The weather situation change and everyone can feel it, see it and learn from it. Many people don't 'believe' in climate change. As if geography was a religion?! Since when do you need to believe in science and weather phenomena that can be measured all around the world?

Quite right. It's not a matter of bbelief, but of experience.

Oh So True happening everywhere I am not sure it is caused by mankind or a natural phenomenon either...we did used to have some extreme weather many years ago.
You weren't by any chance on the JV Insider Circle this morning??

It is a good reminder to many that this changing weather is worldwide-and that we must stop the arguing about whose political party "caused it" and learn to live with it.

As you say, we need to think of the world as a whole rather than its separate parts.
