Yes indeedy,
people like the farmers I spoke are getting worried by the lack of rain, gave my brother in law a pump to irrigate the crops, this year grain, next year wacky tabacky....Kif on the Rif.
Bought a small gasoline 700 W generator for a 120 euro bargain at a local supermarket in Holland, now finding a way to get it on the farm near Chefchouen.
Anyway, thanks for the info D, paper on water issue Maroc.
Hey, even the area of the picos de Europa, bordering the atlantic, looked a bit dry last summer, called the green zone of Spain, very unusual.
Ran out of cash while moving back North with my family, had to stay a bit longer on the pretty coast, not a bummer with my moms car loaded with survival gear.......after Xmess a real drill with ex commando to Sweden, no camping gear or lighter, just your wits and warm clothes....bbbbbrrrrr, short daytime light at 60 degrees NL, meter of snow.
Asked mi mommy dearest for a 3 gran loan and got myself into:

Kevin, the one who built it, wanted to drive it to South Africa, it has rear drive dubbel air, 4 cyl 2800 cc diesel with turbo, no fancy electronics, direct injection like a truck. extra suspension/springs, solar pannels with large battery, extra 120 l watertank, 700 W amp and subwoofer to blast opponents ears.....
A fully functional babe layer.
Family getaway I mean.
The Buccaneer is back!
Yup, I am a pirate. My truck for bread is my flagship, 2016 DAF XF.
First American one were a 86 F 250 with a standard, 6 in line on gas, two years up to Alaska, down the Baja and a winter in Montreal/Detroit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuccaneerA hundred years before the French Revolution, the buccaneer companies were run on lines in which liberty, equality and fraternity were the rule. In a buccaneer camp, the captain was elected and could be deposed by the votes of the crew. The crew, and not the captain, decided whether to attack a particular ship, or a fleet of ships. Spoils were evenly divided into shares; the captain received an agreed amount for the ship, plus a portion of the share of the prize money, usually five or six shares.[7]
Crews generally had no regular wages, being paid only from their shares of the plunder, a system called "no purchase, no pay" by Modyford or "no prey, no pay" by Exquemelin. There was a strong esprit among buccaneers. This, combined with overwhelming numbers, allowed them to win battles and raids. There was also, for some time, a social insurance system guaranteeing compensation for battle wounds at a worked-out scale.[8]
Buccaneers initially used small boats to attack Spanish galleons surreptitiously, often at night, and climb aboard before the alarm could be raised. Buccaneers were expert marksmen and would quickly kill the helmsman and any officers aboard. Buccaneers' reputation as cruel pirates grew to the point that, eventually, most victims would surrender, hoping they would not be killed.
When buccaneers raided towns, they did not sail into port and bombard the defenses, as naval forces typically did. Instead, they secretly beached their ships out of sight of their target, marched overland, and attacked the towns from the landward side, which was usually less fortified. Their raids relied mainly on surprise and speed.[9][better source needed] The sack of Campeche was considered the first such raid and many others that followed replicated the same techniques including the attack on Veracruz in 1683 and the raid on Cartagena later that same year.
Been thinking about the Ferrel cell, Hadley has grown stonger with abrupt CC, polar cell weakened but still working........are we seeing the death of Ferrel?
The turning into a two cell or even one cell system?
I know J.Francis is talking temp.gradient/jet stream weakening......
But does it all not lead to a very unstable, extreme, chaotic unusual weather system, climate that brings the worst you can imagine within our lifetime?
And we are not even in the real change yet, that will likely be when the ice on the pole is gone, within 5 years or so.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulationThe Ferrel cell is driven by the Hadley and Polar cells. It has neither a strong source of heat nor a strong sink to drive convection. As a result, the weather within the Ferrel cell is highly variable and is influenced by changes to the Hadley and Polar cells. The base of the Ferrel cell is characterized by the movement of air masses, and the location of those air masses is influenced in part by the location of the jet stream, even though it flows near the tropopause. Overall, the movement of surface air is from the 30th latitude to the 60th. However, the upper flow of the Ferrel cell is weak and not well defined.
In contrast to the Hadley and Polar systems, the Ferrel system provides an example of a thermally indirect circulation. The Ferrel system acts as a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 12.1, consuming kinetic energy at an approximate rate of 275 terawatts.[1]
