A Look Back At The Earth Signs Of 2019


The Big Wobble: A look back at the top stories of 2019 on The Big Wobble as we enter the Roaring Twenties



If the recent onslaught of deadly heatwaves, unprecedented wildfires, devastating flooding, aberrant cyclones, crippling droughts, devastated crops, massive deforestation and a record-breaking ice melt on both poles didn’t scare you a little, well, buckle up folks, we ain't seen nothing yet! As we leave 2019 and enter the 20s, we will have witnessed more than a 60% decline of all wildlife during the last 40 years according to The Living Planet Report written in 2018. Indeed, the chance of survival for many species has gone with many more endangered with little documentation on our main-stream media! Can you imagine the panic if more than 60% of humans had died in the last 40 years? The last decade was easily the hottest ever, I can’t imagine what summers will be like in the roaring 20s. 10 of the warmest years on record occurred this century, with 9 of the warmest years ever recorded occurred in the last 10 years, 2019 was the third hottest year ever.

I feel have to update the reader on the unprecedented Australian bushfires, which started way back on September the 7th 2019. As of today, it has been reported by the Times that almost 500 million animals have died in the fires, 500 million is the population of the European Union, in just 4 months, 500 million creatures have perished due to the fires. Some of the “mega-fires” are thought to be unstoppable, they can only be stopped with heavy rainfall, meaningful rain is expected at the end of January 2020.
