The weather is doing weird things everywhere, snowing in the tropical regions of the world? +4 C ? Scary enough to start a riot you think? Supposed to snow tomorrow, I cant wait to see what happens then
Yesterday the temperature dropped to about +4C approx 52F. This is a tropical region. Went into the city to shop and there were tens of thousands, probably 100's of thousands people literally panicked and rioting !!
Swarming the streets so traffic couldnt move, blocking 4 lanes, banging on the doors of buses already so full people's faces were mashed against the windows, trying to force the doors open so they could get on. Standing in front of the buses so they couldnt move.
There were no taxis - I think they all panicked and refused to work. I saw only 2 and people ran into the street and opened their doors and piled into them even though they already had passengers.
The police were called out and lining the streets to try and control the rioting crowds, and force them back onto the sidewalks, drivers were ignoring traffic lights, running red lights - accidents everywhere. Some private citizens were helping the police force the people back onto the sidewalks. They werent burning stuff or fighting, just in a huge panic
AND everyone was dressed in toques, fur lined jackets, scarves wrapped aorund their faces, woolen mittens so they couldnt have been THAT cold, and going stark raving nuts because they might freeze to death. I didnt even have my jacket done up, it wasnt that cold.
In the middle of this riot, this horrendous deep freeze we Cdns are sitting OUTSIDE at Starbucks drinking our coffee and watching the show. I have never seen anything like it.
After trying to find a taxi for 2 hours to go back home a private citizen took pity on us and stopped and offered us a ride. What is usually a 10 minute ride took 2 1/2 hours !! Because he couldnt get past the people. The whole city was at a stand still for about 6 hours or more.
Did you ever think that climate change could create this kind of reaction for some people? I never thot about it myself
Sorry its kind of long and I edited it twice to try and make it shorter :-(
It wont make the news, this is tropical China and what happens in China stays in China, wouldnt want to lose face and look back. It has occurred to me tho if there is ever a war with China make them fight in Siberia
