It's Official
Global warming is over. 71º this morning. Feels like we're entering a new ice age.

Four Nomads agree... that's a 'plurality' and that should make it officially over! LOL 
(you know what is really funny is when they say the cooling is part of the warming) HA!

In over 20 years, this is the first time I've ever been cold here in September.

When I was in Alberta Canada in June there was 1 whole week when the high temp was 8 degrees C (46 F). That's why so many Canadians
are down here.

"Is The Big Heat Over?"
Here is a link to someone I trust; an astrophysicist with a proven track record.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piers_Corbyn
According to him, we are entering into a period of climate swing extremes. Regardless of the cause, the extremes "could" cause massive economic
destruction in the United States, Europe, or Asia.
I never did like AlGore or his facetious ramblings meant to further his political posture. Not when his mansion was consuming thousands of dollars
monthly in utility bills. Typical liberal hypocrisy. Nor am I buying the "What Me Worry? Invest!" nonsense of the right.
IMHO The USA should be investing in a massive canal, a ditch connecting northwest Canada with the great plains, with branches to California, etc. If
and when a drought cripples this country, it is going to have ramifications that make the great depression look like "I forgot my wallet at home".
Sometime when you're not doing anything, Google: The great 1938 Atlantic Hurricane.
Think it can't happen again? Think three feet of snow in Houston cannot be anything but a laugh, or a blizzard in the San Francisco Bay Area? How
about ten degrees F in La Paz? Does this leave you rolling on the floor?
Climate swings can happen slowly or astonishingly fast.
Got news for you. Never in a hundred years has our sun had no sunspot activity whatsoever - until now. Yeah and Issac Newton didn't have a solar
telescope either.
Read your freakin' history: George Washington WALKED across a frozen Potomac river. The little ice age killed millions in Europe when there weren't
that many to kill.
The earth including the USA has so many people now, a catastrophic climate change could kill BILLIONS. What does a person do when they go to a store
and find empty shelves? Hey! I've got a credit rating so high I can buy a Rolls Royce would not mean a thing.
No one cares. No one is even interested in learning. Payment for ignorance is coming due and it's going to be ugly.
We don't need to ride bicycles and sit in a circle singing Kumbaya. We need to know and understand the significance of how climate change can affect
us as individuals. What we can and cannot do to prepare for it.
But none of this is going to happen, I can guarantee it.

The Polar Caps will start building back up, the
Polar Bears can have ice packs to hunt on, instead
of tundra, Glaciers will start advancing, the So Pacific
atolls can cancel their evacuation plans due to rising
sea levels, anti science dolts, love em

Weather is fickle and often partially unpredictable, as we ALL know, and the Science of Climatology is even more mysterious long-term. (studied both
Climatology and Meteorology in College). We simply don't know IMO enough about it to be making some incredibly expensive and iffy decisions that will
adversely effect billions of people.
In the mean time we each certainly can, and I always do, make personal decisions based on worst-case weather scenarios like not living close by rivers
and streams, or directly on the coasts, or in low lying areas that would suffer under extreme weather conditions. If we choose to ignor those
precautions, then we should not be surprised when disaster happens, and certainly not expect to be bailed out by others-----that is what insurance is
for, if we can get it.
Reading Dana's "Two years before the Mast" when I was a kid and thinking about the horrible storms that Dana encountered along the CA coast convinced
me that these horrific weather patterns exist, are very real, and can happen any time. Then I was in the middle of Tropical Storm KATHLEEN (1977) and
TS DOREEN the following year, and saw what havoc occurred in the mountains and desert east of San Diego, and in Baja CA.
I have ever since located on "high ground", well away from possible harm from major storms and fire. (I hope). Moving to Redding, CA I took one look
at the huge Sacramento River, and then Shasta Dam, and located appropriately (I thought) on top of gently sloping major hill devoid of any heavy
vegatation that would support fire, and well away from the river. 
Barry
On edit---------by the way, that clip from FOX NEWS is of Greg Gutfeld who is a comic-guy, and most everything he says is tougue in cheek-----it's his
stock-in-trade, so to speak. Ne is NOT a 'hard news' guy!! You would have to be an avid FOX NEWS addict to appreciate Greg Gutfeld. (Red Eye, The
Five, and The O'rielly Factor.)

It's official that this thread is being mocked in another thread.
We should make smart decisions on making a cleaner planet. Not a total tree-hugger......I work in that ugly fossil fuel business. Let's move
forward.
