China will likely throb back for a while. Everybody else should contract as well for a while except maybe smaller emerging countries. Definitely won't be splitting in 2 in the near future.

Rained here for 2 days straight! Almost unheard of. Back to 80 to 90 degrees for a few days at least. Wild fire alerts probably soon. Good luck with the floods, Fa. Take care over there.

Hey 102, I hear the permafrost is supposed to be receding pretty fast up there because of global warming and all. You notice that happening?
