Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Wo lebst du eigentlich???! Ich kann mein Fenster nicht öffnen, weil die schwüle Luft sonst meine Wohnung unter Wasser setzt, aber echter Regen bleibt weg als hätten wir Norddeutschen die Krätze.

Das versprochene Gewitter für das Wochenende war bloß 1-2 Blitze plus 1-2 Wassertropfen bisher.

Die paar kurzen Schauer die wir Mai/Juni hatten, sind mengenweise auch nicht so pralle gewesen.

Münich, and as I said further up, I was apparently mistaken regarding the amount of rain, but it's been near constantly bewölkt over the last couple of weeks.
Speaking of winter, I saw snow exactly once this winter.

Welp.

The ernten are the obvious thing.

But take a walk through the forests and look around. There are suddenly a lot more dead trees and trees having some tell-tale-signs like smooth trunks where living bark should be. And many of those trees are standing, meaning they haven't died that long ago (because then they would have fallen from wind and rot). It's scary.

So yes, going "Where's my third year of drought, i wanna party!" is kinda eh?

The chance of a semi-hot summer is most of what's been allowing me to survive the winters, and with corona cutting out the vast majority of my plans this year, all that's left is lake and sun.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

The sun is OK in my book. My favorite weather is clear blue sky, a shining sun, and air so klirrend kalt it makes the world shine like a mirror.

Too bad nowadays if I want that kind of weather, I apparently have to relocate to Spitzbergen. But Spitzbergen doesn't have trees, the few pictures of Spitzbergen I've looked at makes it look like the moon, just with surprising amounts of tiny flowers showing up occasionally. No forests is a turn-off for me. If I have to live without trees, I'd rather live on the actual moon. Or Pluto, maybe.

I did notice a couple naked trees in the forest but overall it seems they’re pretty much ok. Lots of trees falling over in the storms, though, hinting at weak trees and poo poo.

Like it was said there’s a spike of 80ish new cases which doesn’t seem like much but is much worse than before. We will see how it develops, either it craters again or something else craters

Look!
There's also a ton of bugs around killing trees at the moment. You know what those guys like? Warm winters and dry weather! This isn't really going to do long term damage to most the forests, less vulnerable types of trees will be planted eventually if nothing else helps. The large-scale lumber cutting industry might disappear in Germany as a result, but I think most of the people in the lumber sector (~1mio total) are probably working in processing and they will just import lumber from elsewhere.
Some forest areas in the mountains might look a bit sorry for a decade or two though...

Yeah, the problem with the heat is that the Borkenkäfer can spread even more. My parents live in the Rothaargebirge and even just the difference between last year and this year is ... troubling.
This is basically what it looks like all around. Everything brown is dead. Everything starting to brown will be dead soon.

The winter was so warm, that the Borkenkäfer could just continuously spread around. Basically, within the next few years the entire existing forests will be gone and have to be neu aufgeforstet.

Well the good news is that there are some invasive tree species that can deal pretty well with this kind of weather, so in the future the Deutsche Wald will just be made up of Robinien and Douglasien. Ask me about my Wolf Dieter Storl books!

Not your fault. Our neck of the woods gets a lot more water than say Sachsen, because we get the clouds stuck in the Alps, as evidenced by the lovely rain we had since yesterday again. Outside of the Alps influence, German weather has been way too dry for a while. Looking around in Munich, we'd never guess though.

Over here it was pretty warm today, but overcast with a constant light drizzle, which was actually really comfy. So if we just could skip the whole desert thing and instead go on to being a rain forest, that'd be grand.

All those trees dying is great news if you ask me, because it means less pollen.

I’m especially hype for birch mass death. They will slowly disappear in most areas because they can‘t stand the heat and intense rain and I cannot loving wait.

quote:

Today, everyone knows Merkel’s time as chancellor is nearing its end. The chancellor is struggling with health problems and has lost credibility and influence within her own government.

Imagine if Guttenberg took charge of Germany. Imagine the changes in Germany’s military—even in Europe’s military!

The Bible prophesies that Germany will emerge in the end time as a global military power. It also says this powerful nation will be led by a unique individual, a strongman. We find this prophecy in the book of Daniel.

For 2,500 years, the book of Daniel has not been understood. That is because it is only for this end time (Daniel 12:4, 9). Its meaning has been revealed in our day.

The prophecy about this strongman is in Daniel 8:23-24. First, notice that these verses state explicitly that these events occur in “the latter time.” This will be a time “when the transgressors are come to the full.” Godlessness is rife, modern technology is proliferating immoral filth with malignant efficiency, and people are wallowing in unspeakable evil. Verse 25 says the individual discussed here will “stand up against the Prince of princes”—referring to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. So this is clearly a prophecy for the end time.

Now read about this man in verse 23: “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.” This is talking about the coming leader of Germany. We can know this by putting this together with other prophecies. For example, the prophecy in Daniel 11:40-45 says “the king of the north” shall rise “at the time of the end.” This is talking about a German-led European superpower. Isaiah 10:5-19 give a similar prophecy, adding that this leader shall be “the king of Assyria.” The modern Germans are the descendants of ancient Assyria.
