Good morning readers. Thanks for coming by for a read this morning.
You won’t be seeing this anywhere else because of the conspiracy of silence and the failure of global governments to take responsibility for what man is doing to screw up the weather on the planet Venus.
Mystery on Venus: ‘Super-Hurricane’ Force Winds Inexplicably Get Stronger
The howling, hurricane-force winds of Venus are blowing even faster lately, and scientists aren’t sure why.
Average cloud-top wind speeds on Venus rose 33 percent between 2006 and 2012, jumping from 186 mph (300 km/h) to 249 mph (400 km/h), observations by Europe’s Venus Express orbiter show.
“This is an enormous increase in the already high wind speeds known in the atmosphere,” Igor Khatuntsev of the Space Research Institute in Moscow said in a statement. “Such a large variation has never before been observed on Venus, and we do not yet understand why this occurred.”
If you’re like me you’re naturally deeply concerned about this claim it’s not yet understood. What’s happening on Venus is plainly and simply the result of something else man’s doing. Attempting to shirk responsibility is merely an attempt to avoid changing our behaviors causing it. Whatever it is that man is doing to cause those winds on Venus to skyrocket needs to be identified, then curtailed.
We owe it to ourselves, and we owe it to the solar system to recognize that anything unexpected happening on a planetary scale anywhere can’t help being a consequence of something human beings are doing.
Even though nobody understands the specifics of those Venus wind changes a good place to begin correcting it would be for people in Indonesia to put out those damned forest fires and quit playing with matches. After that we need to reduce the size of the roofs on our dwellings and paint them black so’s they absorb sunlight instead of reflecting.
Likely it won’t do any good insofar as the wind speeds on Venus, but at least we’ll be doing something and will be able to feel better about ourselves.
Remember where you heard it first.

A good morning chuckle. Hope the cat is okay.
Glad you got a chuckle from it lenrosen. J
While I find the speeded-up activity on Venus strange, and even perhaps alarming, I don’t know why you think this little speck of earth in the vast Universe is responsible for everything that happens. There is other life out there. Think it is a good idea for everyone to do their part in making our world a better place to live, but I refuse to take responsibility for the entire Universe. Just my opinion!
Gypsy Bev: Guess my attempt at humor failed. Gracias, J
Oops! Guess my mind was in serious mode when I wrote that. I’ll try to do better next time.
Gypsy Bev: I try to be subtle. Gracias, J
I heard it here first, can’t wait to scoop anyone I might overhear having this weighty scientific discussion!
elroyjones: It’s the wave of the future – gracias, J
Well, this is the type of reporting I really appreciate. Brings a little sanity to the printed page, and gave me a good laugh. Bravo, Jack.
ShimonZ: Sanity mightn’t be the word you were searching for. Thanks for the read. gracias, J
