Loving Global Warming!

[aggieb]

it's 81 here, cool enough for the pups to sleep outside. so, i fluffed their beds and tucked them in, outside. 10 minutes later, someone had let them in.

the weather is great!

I'm not going to engage in a global warming/climate change debate with you as your the type that won't believe it until it's 150 degrees outside and tumble weeds are blowing through the everglades.

I don't doubt global warming exists, I just doubt that the fact that it exists is solely due to man. %#$* happened before we existed, and $@^# will continue to happen once we don't. My type tends to think that $@&* happens that is beyond just me..... I wonder what you'll think come the next ice age....and I'm sure it will; it's that cold day in hell folks often refer to!

In the meantime, if you want my opinion, just ask yourself for it.

Newsweek 1975

There are ominous signs that the Earth?s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production ? with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. The regions destined to feel its impact are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North, along with a number of marginally self-sufficient tropical areas ? parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indochina and Indonesia ? where the growing season is dependent upon the rains brought by the monsoon.

Newsweek on the cooling world

Articles like this are part of the reason some are sceptical. This is not the first debate on the climate changing.

Store up your grain!

I forgot I participated with coop a few years ago and did store up some grain. Cool thing is it doesn't go bad. And, participate in your local community garden. ;-)

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
A RealClimate blogger? No, that was the US Weather Bureau in 1922.

Well if man made issues aren't the problem perhaps you'd both like to run a hose from the exhaust pipe of your car in your house and allow it to idle. It'll warm you up during this little cold snap. Don't worry, those fumes aren't harmful at all.

All I did was post something that was written back in 1922. I didn't say that global warming was or was not caused by man. Unfortunately in the this country is seems like civilized debate does not exist anymore. If someone disagrees with your point you just make a smart#$% comment and dismiss them as a far left or far right loon.

Not this thread, too!

Interesting that this started as a tongue-in-cheek post. It seems that some are wound so tight that they'd not recognize ironic humor if they were run over by a Smart micro-mini full of clowns! What has the world come too?!
