Are wind speeds on the rise?

[donnashuggy]

Does it have anything to do with climate change or is it because I live near the beach?

Nope, it is because you are consuming the new mega strain of supersonic beans, it was developed to remove the aromatic after effects but the trade off was an increase in velocity 🙂

You may have to invest in a pair of thick lead soled thongs , so that you don't become airborne 🙂

Yes, wind speeds are on the 'rise' as are chemtrails/persistent MANMADE contrails-for the purposes of changing/controlling the natural climate, as are GeoEngineering/Weather Manipulation activities, as is the ongoing persistent use of HAARP.

ABC news last Friday or Saturday night televised a news story about a man and a boy being struck/lifted by lightning in Qld , no storm evident, NO CLOUDS seen (interestingly if you wiki lightning:"Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of a planet.").... no thunder, no warning, just lightning.

These manmade 'lightning' rods are seeringly hot, I believe made of plasma like substance.

Hot enough to start bushfires. With using HAARP an operator (via satellite) would be quite able to start say, 90 bush fires at once, focused in an area but at various locations. No matches/cig lighters or ammo dump accident required.......sound ominously familiar to a recent situation? 

" Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device. ... molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen, etc., concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased..."

....."Physicist Daniel Winter, Ph. D. , of Waynesville, North Carolina, says HAARP high-frequency emissions can couple with longwave (low-frequency, or ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to distribute information as vibrations to synchronize dances of life in the biosphere. Dan terms this geomagnetic action 'Earth's information bloodstream'., and says it is likely that coupling of HAARP HF (high-frequency) with natural ELF (extremely low frequency) can cause unplanned, unsuspected side effects.

David Yarrow of Albany, New York, is a researcher with a background in electronics. He described possible interactions of HAARP radiations with the ionosphere and Earth's magnetic grid:...."......

"HAARP will not burn 'holes' in the ionosphere. That is a dangerous understatement of what HAARP's giant gigawatt beam will do. Earth is spinning relative to thin electric shells of the multilayer membrane of 'ion-o-speres' that absorb and shield Earth's surface from intense solar radiation, including charged particle storms in solar winds erupting from the sun. Earth's axial spin means that HAARP -- in a burst lasting more than a few minutes -- will slice through the ionosphere like a microwave knife. This produces not a 'hole', but a long tear -- an incision.".....

"One man-made electrical effect - power line harmonic resonance - causes fallout of charged particles from the Van Allen (radiation) belts, and the falling ions cause ice crystals (which precipitate rain clouds)....."

I could go on but I choose to stop. Now.

....besides I have to go and polish my tin foil hat (sarc)................and *giggle* ...I got ya first siggs!

While I'm sceptical about the chemtrails and HAARP theory, I don't dismiss it altogether.

I certainly believe that the climate change we are currently experiencing is man-made.

Windspeed and the ferocity of windstorms will increase with the acceleration of global deforestation.

Vegetation acts as an interface between the atmosphere and the soil. It increases the permeability of the soil to rainwater, thus decreasing runoff. It shelters the soil from winds, which results in decreased wind erosion, as well as advantageous changes in microclimate. The roots of the plants bind the soil together, and interweave with other roots, forming a more solid mass that is less susceptible to both water and wind erosion. The removal of vegetation increases the rate of surface erosion.

"Wind erosion is a major geomorphological force, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. It is also a major source of land degradation, evaporation, desertification, harmful airborne dust, and crop damage—especially after being increased far above natural rates by human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture"

"The most effective known method for erosion prevention is to increase vegetative cover on the land, which helps prevent both wind and water erosion.Terracing is an extremely effective means of erosion control, which has been practiced for thousands of years by people all over the world.Windbreaks (also called shelterbelts) are rows of trees and shrubs that are planted along the edges of agricultural fields, to shield the fields against winds. In addition to significantly reducing wind erosion, windbreaks provide many other benefits such as improved microclimates for crops (which are sheltered from the dehydrating and otherwise damaging effects of wind), habitat for beneficial bird species, carbon sequestration and aesthetic improvements to the agricultural landscape. Traditional planting methods, such as mixed-cropping (instead of monocropping) and crop rotation have also been shown to significantly reduce erosion rates.

What is plasma?

I thought it was created by running electricity through gas, ie plasma tvs.

No the winds are not increasing in strength, I have an old wind speed gauge and have not noticed any discernable increase over the years. I do, however, only get a good reading from my mother's house as she is at the top of a hill and in direct line of a good southerly  as her house is the tallest, so maybe there are much higher speeds that don't get measured at her place. Mum has a good idea of the winds and she hasn't noticed anything too drastic lately.

As for Bondi, isn't it just way too commercial these days?

Give me Tamarama or Bronte any day.

it's getting very very of everything

Bushfire at Lennox yesty. Kept the fire brigades busy last night.

I was trying to find some early beach photos but could only find ones from Evans Head, and one thet might be Ballina.

[donnashuggy]

I have loads of them, one year there was a cyclone and the waves sprayed on all our windows, my dad owns a quarry and had to put boulders along the waters edge.

I disagree with almost everything you say but I noticed 2 months ago that the wind is not as it used to be at least where i am .it is windy almost every day if not every day and has been for 2 months.I pointed this out a month ago to people and they agree.

The problem as i see it is that people rely om memory instead of quantitative data to base their beliefs on.

The alarmists and sceptics choose to remember to past in terms of their present beliefs and try to use it as evidence to prop up their belief.
