re: This climate change is crazy!

One of my pet peeves is the severe weather thing. The historical and geological records show that warmer eras have fewer and milder storms while periods like the Little Ice Age produced a far greater number of violent storms.

Even the models themselves indicate that most of the warming would take place toward the poles with little to none toward the equator. The political summary of the IPCC on this was contrary to the lead author's belief that less difference would result in fewer storms. Guess it didn't fit the scary story tales.

So are you saying the climate is not warming be it natural or human caused? If so, is it getting colder or staying the same temp?

I'm just saying that there is 30 meters of packed snow where it is unexpected. The "climate change" title is just click bait.

Nobody knows weather like Donald folks. He also has the best words and is, like, a genius.

A couple of fricking morons team up to propagate a lie!

awesome!

It has NEVER been 99%

Even at mid-latitudes there has been little perceptible change in climate over a long period of time. I recently looked at the climate records of New York City from the mid-19th century to 2018, and though of course some years have been unusually hot, or dry, the overall averages have remained about the same for the last 150 years: winter, 35°, summer, 73°, average annual rainfall, 49 inches.

We cannot change the weather for good or bad. We can adapt to the changes.

Human impact on climate is insignificant. Humans tend to think too much of themselves which is why you think we can do something about any possible change.

Humans could easily change the weather (and therefore the climate)... I'm always shocked when people think we aren't capable of it.

For example.. pumping ~$10-20 billion/year of sulfur gas into the atmosphere. Or intentionally releasing loads of PFCs at X unit/year into the atmosphere. Both would have a measurable effect on weather patterns long-term.

Study it.. and in the future actively control it

But what gets me is, what is the motivation for right wingers to insist that everything is wonderful and that our limited ecosystem has an unlimited capacity to absorb pollution? This seems completely irrational.

Irrational to me would be fining me for a piece of trash or two that fell out of my garbage can, while my neighbors aren't fined in spite of trash being tossed directly out of their windows and into the street.

It will most likely get colder on average for the next couple of decades. The solar cycles seem to be showing a weakening trend in the sun’s magnetic field, the earth’s magnetic poles are on a weakening trend. Weaker magnetic fields allow more cosmic rays to hit the earth’s atmosphere; the more cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere the greater chances of cloud formation. More clouds means a cooler planet.
