Must be all that global warming they’re talking about huh?

Global warming is different from weather. weather deals with wind, snow, hot, cold, winter and summer whereas global warming deals with the temperature of the earth in general.

It's all about ecology. If we start moving things around in the nature, it might disrupt the seemingly harmonious patterns of life.

........
Some where there was once a ruler and his beloved people, his army and government and this was years ago some where in Asia. One day the ruler decided to tour the country side and see what was the problem with his people since he heard that they were living miserably.

In one of the meetings with the farmers, his aide asked the farmers
"Farmers !! What is your problem, tell the supreme ruler the truth ..all the truth". An old man stood up and told the ruler about the bad harvests they have been having for the last 3 years and that the sparrows eat their crops". All the other farmers clapped hands and acquiesced.

Upon hearing this the supreme ruler thought for a while and said "My dear dear beloved people, have no fear...Here is the method — we make our resolution, we coordinate our actions, we divide our tasks, we cut off the food supply, we set up a trap and we continue our battle of destruction.”

The very next day, the ruler carried out his promise in order to improve the well being of his people. Almost half of the labour force was mobilized into the anti-sparrow army.

They trapped, poisoned and attacked sparrows. Many free-fire zones were set up for shooting sparrows.

People were banging pans and pots, waving flags, smashing sparrow eggs. Their nests were torn down, their lives were disrupted
Nobody knows how many sparrows died but the number was in the millions.

Initially, the harvests improved, but too many sparrows were killed. Not enough survived to keep the locusts and grasshoppers in ecological balance. The insects devoured all the crops. In the resulting famine more than 35,000,000 people died of starvation.

24 different countries employ cloud seeding including Canada. No one is "moving clouds", they are simply getting them to release the water they contain.

Sounds pretty ignorant tome. Sounds like playing with a part of nature we shouldn’t be playing with. I just hope humans hurry up and cause the end of mankind so it can start all over again and maybe the next civilizations will be a little smarter.
