Climate Change

Author: Ian Bishop

Now, I’m English. No people in the world talk about the weather as much as the English. That’s because we have so very much of it. In fact, look at the word I used. Other countries, regions, people talk about “climate”. England has “weather”. “Climate” implies an unchanging, or slowly changing set of conditions. “Weather” implies rapid change, unpredictability.

One reason why Britain, especially England, pioneered short-haul package holidays back in the 1950s was a serious need for sun and warmth for a few uninterrupted days every year. We loved, and still do love to head off to Spain, France, Turkey, or indeed anywhere with “climate”. Anywhere we can guarantee a week or so of uninterrupted warmth and sunshine.

Unfortunately, so great is the demand for holidays in the sun that we British tend to flood en masse to seaside holiday resorts where we spend all our time among other Brits, eating (mostly) British food, and getting (often) badly burned by the sun to which we are (largely) unaccustomed!

The reason why Britain seems to have such an obsession with the sun is easy to see when you look at a map of the world. First, we’re perched out on the western edge of Europe, exposed to the gales of the North Atlantic Ocean. Secondly, look how far north we are. London is in the deep south of England, and sits just above the 51o line of latitude. That’s a lot further north than Hokkaido, Japan’s northern main island, where they get monstrous snowfalls. It’s north of everywhere in the USA. The only reason why Britain doesn’t freeze in winter is that Atlantic currents bring warm water up from the Gulf of Mexico, and the westerly winds blow the warm air over us!

Small wonder, then, that one of the great joys of travel for a Brit is getting off a plane and feeling the heat and humidity of somewhere that enjoys “climate”. The baking dry heat of Egypt, or the moist heat of Indonesia. The exquisite blending of heat, blue sky and blue sea of Greece or Turkey.

We seldom think about what it feels like to make the journey in reverse. What does someone from Asia, for example, think when he or she gets off the plane in London, Amsterdam or Berlin, in winter? The combination of very short days, long nights, cold wind, rain? It must be a real shock to someone whose only real experience of cold is when the shopping mall has the air conditioning turned up too high!

I realise that I have brought day length into the discussion. At a latitude of 51o north we in the UK get 16-17 hours of daylight in mid-summer, and it never really gets very dark. Winter is different. In December we have daylight from around 9.00am to 4.00pm.

What kind of climate, or weather, to plan for is part of the joy of travel, or maybe is one of the problems of travel, depending on your point of view. Coming from, say, Indonesia to northern Europe I guess the problems would arise mostly in the European winters, where average temperatures drop so much below what Indonesians are used to. Actually the average temperatures even in summer (June, July and August) very rarely indeed get up anywhere near Indonesian levels. And it can always rain. And the rain is cold!

For an Indonesian going to work or study abroad the weather (or climate) has to be one of the things you need to plan for. You’ll need to learn to put lots of layers of clothing on, on the colder days in northern latitudes, maybe also a hat and gloves. You will definitely need heavier shoes than you are used to, and a waterproof/windproof coat for winter. My problem coming to Indonesia is which tee shirts and lightweight trousers to pack!

Whether you are going to northern Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand to stay for a while or just to visit, it’s essential that you think about the climate area you’re visiting, and the general weather over the period of your visit. Get yourself prepared for the changing seasons, the changing temperatures, the different lengths of day and night that you’ll experience.

And if you are fortunate enough to live in Jakarta, don’t forget that there’s a team of people at AIM, in Manggarai who can help you get ready for the weather where you’re going, at the same time as they help you with your English.

Don't Worry About 2012

Author: Joseph Toth

Don’t Worry About 2012

There’s a lot of buzz about the year 2012, and it being the year of devastation. You have people from all walks of life trying to apply predictions to December of 2012, including some professionals and historians. I’ve heard people refer to different types of troubles they think should be expected from this calendar time frame.

Listening to the way the human mind can work when a level of fear or an unknown element is introduced is just amazing. First of all, …the people concerned about this may actually have some fears that were fed by stories they’ve absorbed in life. Our lifestyle of being a society that watches a lot of television and movies really doesn’t help this either. Our minds become very influential, resulting in things like this concern about 2012, or back when the calendar changed from 1999 to 2000 (Y2K).

I recently had an encounter with a grown man, older than I am …who is absolutely beside himself because of this 2012 thing that’s going on. I caught him talking about this with someone else. After the other person left the area, I approached him saying I overheard him talking about 2012. This resulted in a lengthy conversation between the two of us on this matter. No, …I wasn’t buying into the fact that tragedy would strike, nor was I patronizing this man by no means. Rather, I would call it educating myself on how some people are using this date to predict the end of the world, when its not.

First I’d like to point something out. Calendars and clocks are man-made time keeping devices. There isn’t another life form on this huge planet, or in this galaxy that uses these time keeping methods. They are proprietary to the human race only. Animals, birds and sea creatures have no clue that humans use names and numbers for the days of the week, or that we call 365 days a year. Mother earth knows nothing of human time keeping either. To lock in a particular time frame for the end of the world is simply ridiculous.

Secondly, …as for the earth being riddled with worldwide earthquakes and storms, or the fear that the earth will stop rotating on its axis, or that continents will shift is just plain and simple ‘Hog Wash’.

Continents shifting is an event that takes tens of thousands of years to do, and it doesn’t happen all at once. This happens so slowly that life forms of any kind, including humans, would never even notice it happening.

If the rotation of the earth slows down, this would definitely change gravitational pull, which you would notice simply by standing on your bathroom scale. If the rotation of the earth would slow down, the earth’s gravity would get weaker. This means when you step on your bathroom scale, you could get a reading of 20 to 100 pounds lighter than normal. I don’t know about everybody else, but I way myself every morning …for the last two years or so my weight has been very consistent. Trust me, the earth is not slowing down or going to stop rotating.

Mother earth isn’t even showing signs of being sick, yet alone going to die in two years.

What do I think is going to happen on the 2012 date in question? I’ll tell you.

My alarm clock is going to go off in the morning; I’ll eat and shower before heading to work. I’ll come home after work so I can get a good nights sleep and do it all over again the next day, and the next day, and for decades to come until I grow old and gray.

People made a big fuss over Y2K too, only to find out it was really nothing.
