"In February 2022, (atmospheric river) one dumped cubic kilometres of water onto the city of Brisbane. An atmospheric river is a narrow, fast-flowing stream of moist air. It can be many thousands of kilometres long, and a few hundred wide. It’s a giant and invisible conveyor belt of water in the sky, moving above and across the planet.

Part one "A discovery in weather in the 1990s was the Atmospheric River. They've been around for pretty much ever though - one of them bankrupted California in 1862, and another dumped lots and lots of water onto Brisbane, in February 2022."

Part 2

and Nat Geo-link





"At any given moment, there are about a dozen of these atmospheric phenomena across the globe – most of them over water. But, unlike a land-based river, they are not fixed in location. Instead, they continually form, fade, reform and evolve. So they come and go.
Atmospheric rivers are essential to the water cycle. They shift 90 per cent of the air’s water vapour, but cover less than 10 per cent of the planet. A big atmospheric river can move a quarter of a million tonnes of water each second past a given point. If one gets really big, it can be disastrous.


In 1862 an atmospheric river turned Central California into a temporary inland sea, 500km long and 30km wide. Not only did thousands of people die, so did one-quarter of the 800,000 head of cattle in California at the time.


Sacramento, the state capital, was flooded with more than three metres of muddy water and took six months to completely dry out. By then, California was bankrupt. And just for a little extra ecological impact, the water in San Francisco Bay turned from salt water to fresh water.

The atmospheric river that hit Australia’s east coast in March 2021 caused several fatalities, forced the
evacuation of more than 24,000 people, and cost the Australian economy about $652 million.

The current rains are NOT Atmospheric rivers

I suspect some what are termed "Cloud Bursts" might be related ? I think I may have seen two in my life.

FYI MRNA has been researched for decades not just the last few years "Hundreds of scientists had worked on mRNA vaccines for decades before the coronavirus pandemic brought a breakthrough. "

Hope the fighting stops myself. From rabies to cancers. The Victorian MRNA site was very very clever I think!

"There is no doubt though that Covid mRNA vaccines have been highly successful and made billions for BioNTech, Pfizer and Moderna.


But a huge legal tussle is under way surrounding the innovation behind mRNA vaccines.


US firm Moderna has started legal action against Pfizer and BioNTech for patent infringement - in essence claiming key elements of their mRNA technology were copied.



"


BioNTech founders say they have had a "number of breakthroughs" in cancer trials "Speaking on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Prof Tureci said: "mRNA acts as a blueprint and allows you to tell the body to produce the drug or the vaccine… and when you use mRNA as a vaccine, the mRNA is a blueprint for the 'wanted poster' of the enemy - in this case cancer antigens which distinguish cancer cells from normal cells.""


Moderna and Merck will jointly develop a cancer vaccine for high-risk melanoma patients

itll be long after 2525 saitch....

good song though....I used to play it at the folk club.....

Back in the day when Zager and Evans were in the charts? They only charted once as they were one hit wonders.

Yep - given 10000000 of people with COVID are suffering short and long term from - you guessed- Hope they do it will. Note of course the vaccine Myocarditis reports are about the same as every day and last about a day or less and require panadol at most and you can see ( or not

PS got my MOBBIV Bivalent Covid vaccine today Jackson Court Pharmacybivalent.jpg

See you later- I am off for a 10km run now

You need a hair cut!
