Wherever we live the weather is one of the things that affect us most, This tear in Australia the weather is extremely wet, it seems to have broken several records already, and there is no end in sight, everyday there are reports of flooding, some people have also lost their lives, and it is so sad, we start wondering, what can be done to make it safe.
Welcome to article,
Anyhow, in this article, let us talk about the weather.
Today to talk about the weather is becoming more serious,
because there are a lot of problems that the inclement weather causes, the worst
part is that it is us the people that are causing these problems, because we
are causing global warming, so, we need to do something about it. So, let us
see what I found on the internet about the weather. (And I quote).
--------------------------------
Global temperatures rose about 1.98°Foffsite link (1.1°C) from
1901 to 2020, but climate change refers to more than an increase in
temperature. It also includes sea level rise, changes in weather patterns like
drought and flooding, and much more. Things that we depend upon and value —
water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems, and human
health — are experiencing the effects of a changing climate.
(So, let us see what is happening).
Heavy rain looks set to lash large parts of Queensland this
weekend as the weather bureau issues several flash flooding and severe
thunderstorm warnings for central and southern parts of the state.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has placed most of central
and southern Queensland on flood watch as residents in the Wide Bay,
Burnett and the state's south-eastern forecast districts brace for
potential flooding.
A woman’s
body has been found in floodwaters near Mudgee as floods overwhelm communities
across NSW.
The body is believed to be a 28-year-old woman who had been
missing for more than 14 hours after she escaped a vehicle stuck in floodwaters
on Sunday night in Gulgong, about 30km north of Mudgee in the state’s Central
Tablelands.
Three other occupants of the vehicle were found safe.
Premier Dominic Perrottet re-emphasised that people should not
drive through floodwaters.
“You wouldn‘t drive into a bushfire – don’t drive into
floodwaters,” Mr Perrottet said.
“Not only are you putting your life at risk, but also the lives of
our SES volunteers and personnel.”
An intense low pressure system is causing havoc from southeast
Queensland to Victoria, bringing flooding rains to soaked towns across the east
coast. (End of news quotes).
I believe that what is happening these days, is something that the
entire world should be worried about. World leaders talk about what we should
do, but the question is, are we doing enough to stop climatic warming becoming
worse? And then, can we find a way to reverse climatic warming? Well, we must
wait and see, if we can.
I believe that I have said enough about the weather, so, let us
talk about other things.
-----------------------------
Religious happening and my views.
I believe that religion is one of the most important subjects that people talk about, we may believe in God in different ways, but we still need to believe in God. So, let us see what is happening in the religious field these days. This is what I found on the internet. (And I quote).
On
November 22, the Vatican will host a debate in St. Peter's Basilica between a
Catholic, a Protestant and an Orthodox theologian on the primacy of Peter, that
is, on the primacy of the Bishop of Rome over all Christian confessions.
Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president emeritus
of the Pontifical Council for Culture, has been the main promoter of the
discussions on the theme 'On this rock I will build my Church'. This
theological debate is part of a new series of conferences on the figure of the
Apostle Peter in history, art and culture that will take place in the basilica
starting next Tuesday, October 25, and will conclude in March 2023.
--------------------------------------
ROME (AA) - Pope Francis
launched a universal appeal for nations and peoples to work together and build
a better world where peace reigns, according to an excerpt of his new book
published by Italian paper La Stampa on Sunday.
The book, which will be on
the bookshelves in Italy on Tuesday, is titled, I Ask You in the Name of God.
Ten Prayers for a Future of Hope, and comes ahead of the 10th anniversary of
Francis’ pontificate, which falls on March 13, 2023.
In the book, the pontiff
asks for an unambiguous condemnation of war and recalls that the church refutes
the idea that war can solve problems between nations, saying it is “always a
defeat for humanity.”
The pope also stressed how
the Ukrainian war has dramatically revealed the horrors that result from
conflicts.
Analyzing the
Russian-Ukrainian conflict, he said that we are experiencing “a third world war
fought piecemeal,” which threatens to expand into a full-scale global conflict.
(End of quotes.)
Looking at what is happening in the world, I believe that pope
Francis is somehow different from the previous popes. This pope wants the
entire religious world to follow his religious beliefs. He believes that all
religions can find a way to work together, so, he is trying to cooperate with
other religions, even when he needs to do things different from previous popes.
You see, previous popes only wanted to talk about, what their religious creed said,
they kept isolated from other religions and did not want any change, they
quickly would excommunicate anybody, that did not agree with them.
But this pope is different, he meets with other religious
leaders; he has even met with Muslims religious leaders, now he wants to meet
with other religious leaders, perhaps he wants to see if he can bring the
religions that derive from the Bible together. This may well be the result that
this pope is hoping for, but we must wait and see what will happen in the
future.
Now, let us look at something else.
--------------------------------------
The Australian October 22 federal budget.
While I am writing this article, I am wondering about what sort
of budget the federal treasurer is going to deliver tonight, and if it is going
to be a good budget for people like me, but I have my doubts, because there is
no money in the bank. The government is in the red, by a trillion dollars or
something like that, because the previous government, had to spend all this money
to keep the nation going during the covid pandemic.
Anyhow, just as I thought, the Australian federal budget, did
not change anything at all, it was like keeping on doing the same thing, so, I
wonder why they were talking about it, as if they could change a few things.
Some people start saying that they could have done a few things
better, but I do not know, in politics things are never right, you can always
do better according to the opposition. So, now we must wait for next budget to
see if anything will be different.
-------------------------------------
The world politics leaders are changing.
In Italy there is a
change of government
Hereunder is how the media has reported it.
Giorgia Meloni has formed Italy's new ruling coalition, assembling
the country's first far-right-led government since the end of World War II and
becoming its first female prime minister.
A presidential palace official announced that Ms Meloni and her cabinet
would be sworn in on Saturday (local time).
Ms Meloni's Brothers of Italy, a party with neo-fascist roots, was the top
vote-getter in Italy's national election last month.
A few hours before the new government's formation was announced, Ms
Meloni, 45, a career politician, told reporters that she and her allies had
unanimously asked President Sergio Mattarella to give her the mandate to
govern.
Obtaining the premiership capped a remarkably quick rise for the
Brothers of Italy.
Ms
Meloni co-founded the party in December 2012, and it was considered a fringe
movement on the right during its first years.
Ms
Meloni made no public comments before leaving the Quirinal presidential palace.
Now that we have a new government, we are just waiting to see if
it is going to work well. Most people think that Ms. Giorgia Meloni may lead
the party to the extreme right, but I do not think she will, I hope everything
works well for her, because Italy needs a stable good government.
-------------------------------
Labour
Party leadership has failed to address comments from party officials who
attacked newly-appointed British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on
his race, saying his achievement was "not a win for Asian representation."
A Labour spokesperson confirmed to multiple
outlets – including The Express, BBC and The Guardian – that the Labour Party
headquarters had urged Nottingham Labour MP Nadia Whittome to delete the tweet.
However, when asked directly about the topic, Sir
Keir Starmer instead talked about how he "welcomed" Sunak’s
appointment as a "real milestone" for
the country while failing to condemn his party member’s comments.
"Let me be very clear with you about the
position of the Labour Party - and I was able to say that at Prime Minister's
Questions - and that was to welcome the first British Asian Prime Minister as a
real milestone for our country," Starmer said. "It shows that in
Britain, whatever your race whatever your beliefs, your dream can come
true."
Anyhow, I believe that we must stay positive and hope for the
best.
---------------------------------------
What we have talked about in this diary.
Global warming is a bigger problem than we thought, so, humanity
must find a way, how to control it, otherwise it can become worse.
Pope Francis seems to aim for more cooperation with other religions
that derive from the Bible. He is a very clever pope; while he agrees with
people even knowing that they are not right. Then he finds a way how to tell
them what they need to do.
The Australian budget was okay, but not great.
The world of politics, looking at what is happening in Europe,
and the war in Ukraine, the world needs stable governments, so, let us hope the
new Italian prime minister, and the UK prime minister, find a way, how to lead
us in these difficult times.
There are other things that I could say, but this article is becoming
too long, so, see you next article,
