It won't rain

"Seagulls" Oil Painting F120

It's not raining。(heavy rain、I'm sorry to those who are suffering from floods) but I hope it rains a little bit.。Hydrangeas in the garden, etc.、The flowers that want water in particular are drooping their necks。

Because it's not raining so much、What is the water storage rate at dams in the metropolitan area this year?、Apparently there's no problem at all。Even in small places, it's around 80%、93% in the Tone River system、I said it in the weather forecast。It was falling on the mountains。

but、That there is no rain on flat ground、That's how the temperature gets higher、This means that the cooler will be left on every night。Green curtains are also water-filled。You need electricity to pump water。How lucky it is to have moderate rain、I really feel it。
Even if there is water in front of you, it cannot be drunk or used in mud.。The flooded water can only be waited for it to recede.。The amount of seawater has increased due to global warming、Countries and regions are beginning to be submerged。

It is said that abnormal weather also has the effect of global warming.。Japan will turn carbon dioxide emissions to "virtually zero" by 2050、It declares "carbon neutral"。To reduce emissions to zero is、Make the amount absorbed by plants and the amount generated by economically、In that sense、It's not that it won't happen at all。
Economic and industrial perspectives do not seem to be very likely to achieve this、Ironically, the declining birthrate has progressed、If the decline in the industry progresses due to population decline、It may be achievable。In that sense, it could be contradictory to "measures to reduce birthrate" and "measures to global warming"。
It is necessary to bring together "wisdom"。Knowledge is the origin of wisdom、Because it's about knowing the facts、It is undoubtedly important to deepen your research。on the other hand、Research on global warming itself alone、The research itself is not progressing。Research and development of new observation equipment is also essential.、Thinking from a new perspective is also important。It's not that you just need to stand out one of them.。
but、In Japan, specific research is carried out.、We are currently implementing policies that only spend a certain period of time.。Research funding etc.、It's a bit sparse in terms of Japan's GDP、The reason for placing it in the lower position of tax use is、I would say that it is longer than the period from election to the next election.、Maybe it's because they don't have a long-term (?) vision?。Sowing seeds、I know it's hard to water、It's already dying。 

Dangerous heat

"Hamanasu flowers and fruit" Watercolor

It's hot、How many times have you said this year?。When you say the word "hot"、I feel really hot、I try to say "It's warm"、It's strange because I feel like it feels 2-3 degrees lower when I do that.。everyone、How are you doing?

And yet、News and weather forecasts have been repeatedly calling out ``dangerous heat.''。Just hearing it makes me feel breathless, as if it were 2-3 degrees higher.、It's a kind of "warning"、It can't be helped。Every day, your smartphone will receive notifications such as ``Please refrain from exercising outside'' and ``Do not go out unless it is urgent.''。

According to news etc.、It seems that ``dangerous heat'' is spreading all over the world.。Due to the heat wave "Charon" that occurred in North Africa、In places like Italy, temperatures have already been above 40°C for several days.、in a few more days、Rome is said to be on track to surpass Europe's record high temperature of 48.8 degrees Celsius.。In China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, temperatures have already exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.。To be honest, the temperature is unimaginable.。
 In such a place、As for whether everyone is using a cooler?、maybe not。For those who do not have a cooler (for those who are out of order or cannot use it for economic or other reasons)、I think it's a real "dangerous heat"。Was it about ten years ago?、Similar heatwaves have hit Europe and the Americas.、The memory of many people dying at that time came back to me.。
In southern Ukraine、Infectious diseases such as cholera have occurred due to flooding after the dam was destroyed.、It is reported that it is spreading in even worse environments such as trenches.。I'm thinking, "Maybe if we're at war!"、Only one person in the world can stop it、The doubly frightening reality is that Mr. Putin is the only one who is crazy.。

While swimming in the sea in the hot sun、Things like when I was a child, I would collect the fruits of the hamanasu that grew in clusters along the coastline.、In this abnormal world, it feels like a dream.。in any case、Summer has just begun (I'm sure the rainy season hasn't even ended yet).。Please enjoy this summer safely.。

Summer festival ends

the last of the festival、15 minutes before float delivery

The summer festival in my town (city) was yesterday Sunday.、It ended at 10 p.m.。There is a shrine across the street from my house.、every evening、Flute and ohayashi drum practice was held there.。It felt noisy when I moved in.、Before I knew it, I got used to it.、I can hear it, but I'm not listening to it、It seems that I have become able to use my ears in this way.。It will cheer you up when you are feeling down.、I don't feel bad。

when I was a student、Even the famous Sanja Festival in Tokyo has lost its bearers.、When I remember that the festival itself was barely held,、Although it's not as big as the local festival boom.、There is a feeling of being separated by a lifetime.。After the coronavirus (although it seems like the coronavirus is still going on)、Medical institutions themselves are now seen as wolf boys.)、Do you feel that way all the more?。

Japan's population is shrinking year by year、The wider the region, the wider the range seems to be.。Whether the festival can be held、It may also be a barometer of whether a municipality can survive.。According to the public information, our city's population is decreasing little by little.、I feel that the number of foreigners is gradually increasing instead.。many more、Becoming a city that is easy for people from various countries to live in、I think it would be good to develop internationalism from the local areas.、Considering the closed nature of the area, there is almost no hope.。
Festivals create local connections。warm areas、I think this can be achieved through many such exchanges.。on the other hand、Strong ties tend to have strong exclusivity at the same time.。An organization similar to the territorial sense of wild animals、Is it like a sense of belonging?。That's、Before you know it, it transforms into something grotesque.、We also saw it at the beginning of the Ukraine war.。

What's important is、There is nothing other than “people”。。You can't do a festival alone.、Even if you can do it, it won't be fun if you're alone.。Some people pull floats、Some people just watch、I enjoy being able to share something good that I wouldn't be able to do alone.。The Osaka Expo scheduled to be held next year is、It seems to be quite unpopular both at home and abroad.。Just my imagination、The organizer may only see the estimate.。In a society that only sees each person as a ``number of people,''、I can't see the future。I feel like the Expo will be the event that proves that.。
