In a handcart
This real time map (via) of disasters happening around the world is terrifying. It reminds me of the map from the Judge Dredd comic showing how the world has gone to shit in the 22nd century.
Watching a biological hazard unfold in New South Wales (the unexplained deaths of thousands of birds), the series of ‘nuclear events’ taking place across America and the sheer number of volcanoes currently erupting around the globe, I have fears for us making it to teatime today let alone 2115.

So what’s happening at a quarter past nine?
Boom boom.
[...] I love this map (via Chicken Yoghurt). Biological Hazards here, earthquakes there… and a bit of snow in Britian. [...]
I like the way the middle east looks so calm …
[...] The Chicken Yoghurt points me to this rather interesting real-time disaster map of the world. I generally abhor scaremongering (for example the government’s habit of publishing completely unrequired ‘threat levels’ that mean nothing to the population and serve no purpose other than to alarm people and make them compliant), but I think this is interesting, as it is quite scary, but also an indication of how many minor catastrophes slip through the media net. [...]
We’ve made it this far, so I’d like to think we’ll survive a few sneezing ducks and radioactive yanks.
Blue skies thinker, me.
You’re not fooling anybody but yourself, mate.
Doomed, I tells ya.
2115? So that’ll be some time after supper, then.
Damn! Someone got the 24 hour clock gag in before me. I have faith in our ability to finally come up with a solution at the 11th hour, and then have to clear up the shitstorm when that brings a disaster in its wake. I love the nay-sayers on global warming: there’s no scientific evidence, they proclaim - the mantra of the tobacco industry for so many years. What’s the worst that can happen if we actually adopt wind turbines and solar panels? A less expensive energy source. Ooh, scary! Yet these Clarkson-like arseholes rail on and on about eyesores: like anyone brought out a holiday postcard of Sizewell B: Weather is here, wish this was beautiful. Anyway, enough of my ranting, it’s already just gone 8pm.
There’s a red flashing circle around Glasgow at the moment. No change there then.
oh and vote for me

I was keeping calm until I read about the whole Vole thing in Castilla y Leon. Scary shit.
I’m so glad you ran this because I’ve been trying to get across [a point Cityunslicker refuses to acknowledge] that there is some pretty nasty stuff going on. Great post.
Hurricanes in Munich today, apparently.
……and Tornadoes in Iraq; Apaches in Afghanisatan.
Buggerr! That should read apaches in Afghanistan.
Just spotted a Killer Bee attack in Florida. Truly the end is nigh. Now where did I put that Rosary…
