Flotsam & Jetsam

The Apocalypse? It’s Now. And It’s Australian.

A record-setting dust storm swept across Sydney yesterday and obscured basically everything, including the famed Opera House, which can sorta be seen here. One visitor described the scene as “like a nuclear winter morning”. The beginning of a dystopian day?

Scientists, it’s worth noting, aren’t pinning the blame on climate change, although an unusually dry summer did contribute. What a coincidence.
