Nature Thoughts

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”

Warm December 2016


The month of December 2016 was such a warm month. 

50 years ago, when we were children, we make camps on our rice fields just after harvesting rice grains. We use the rice stalks as our huts or shelter to sleep at night during Christmas vacations with neighborhood children. We feel the coldness at night and on the early mornings. We feel then that its Christmas time. The rice fields are also used for playing ball games, grand march and any indigenous games that goes with the Christmas activity. For those years. we felt the coldness of December.   






This year 2016 could be the hottest year ever, setting new temperature records.

For the first time, NASA shared a midyear climate analysis, doing so because temperature averages this year have been so in excess of previous data, agency officials said. NASA's data showed that each month in 2016 was the warmest respective month globally in the modern temperature record, which dates to 1880. This trend suggests 2016 will surpass 2015 as the hottest year on record, NASA said.
