sono tutti mooolto concentrati sull'iminente sembra e sempre piu confermato riscaldamento stratosferico...che come tutti gli anni provoca: un bel niente...tutti sono agrappati a ormai 25 anni fa..convinti che il riscaldamento nella stratosfera polare comporti chissà quale tempesta di neve...certp sembra profilarsi un anticiclone piuttosto stranino lassu..la situazione è da monitorare come ha detto luca troppo lontana!
La natura invece continua a ricordarci in modo triste questa volta, ricordo quanto avvenuto la scorsa notte (la era pomeriggio) sull'isola di Haiti, un terremoto di 7.1 ha provocato danni ingentissimi basti pensare che è crollato un ospedale di 3 piani!
ecco qualche info in piu (in inglese il tempo scarseggia)

An earthquake of magnitude Mw 7.1 occurred on 12/01/2010 at 21:53 (UTC time), 16:53 (local time) in Haiti. More information on the main shock is available on the EMSC web site and from the USGS/NEIC.
The epicenter lies 15 km South West of Carrefour, 20 km South West of Port-Au-Prince.
About 15km from Port au Prince, a city of 2 millions people, the earthquake generated large damages on buildings and many casualties have been reported already though no precise toll is yet available. The U.N. headquarters have been severaly damaged. The earthquake has been largely felt in the neighbouring Dominican Republic but as well in Eastern Cuba, about 300 km away.
Among the many destructions, the presidential palace and the Cathedral collapsed. Many schools, hospitals and hotels were destroyed. Electrical and phone cables have also been affected.
This event occurred in the complex tectonic region of the Caribbeans where several subduction faults are active. It is the largest event recorded in the last 200 years. In 1750 and 1771, Port au Prince was largely damaged. The largest event recorded in Haiti took place in 1984 with a magnitude of 6.7. In 2008, several events of magnitude 4 occurred in august and september leading to little damages.
A tsunami alert was issued but was quickly canceled.
