Lockdown 373

Lockdown Day 373 - 3 April 2021

Why we still need summer and 30 °C in April is beyond me. Maybe this is a delayed April fool's prank, or a takeover from weather.com. I wonder about global warming fueled by humankind's lack of kindness to the earth it lives from and if global warming wasn't a set-up too.

Of course, having hot flushes doesn't make this heat any easier.😅 I wondered if the earth's axis had something to do with all this, so I did a little research.

I came across a very interesting Nasa article where the earth's axis wobble is compared to a pot of soup on the stove. As the particles move, the soup moves in certain boiling patterns. So the earth wobbles on its axis as mass is distributed in patterns.

Mass on and within Earth is redistributed through changes to land, ice sheets, oceans and mantle flow, affecting the planet's rotation. 

Greenland's ice mass decreased as earth's temperature rose. A total of about 7500 gigatons of Greenland's ice melted into the ocean - this is equal to the weight of more than 20 million ships like the one that was recently stuck in the Suez canal. 👀

Greenland is therefore one of the top continents of mass transference to the oceans, causing sea level to rise and a drift in the spin of the earth's axis. 

So, now we know why it's 30°C in the middle of April in Pretoria. May this inspire us all to do our bit to protect our earth and it's resources. The very earth God gave us to manage.
