Global Warming

Re: Global Warming

Here in Michigan it has been raining for days and it will keep raining till Sunday making it over a week of rain. You might say well yeh its spring in Michigan and so there is rain so wth you complaining about...but its not that simple. Sure we get lots of rain in the spring here but this is very different-this rain has been more like summer rain with sudden gushesh of water falling out of the sky instead of droplets of water-it i just like having a bucket of water poured on you continuously. I do not mind the rain and as long as it does not damage crops its a good thing i think but good or bad there is definitely a big difference in the weather here. Michigan is not the only place where weather is strange-my fatherinlaw has been in LA for 8 months and said he saw it rain one time during these months. The whole western USA is suffering from a unending drought which is turning that region into a desert. No one knows where this is going. With the warmer weather and increasing rainfall i thought Michigan was going to turn into a rainforest but then we got the coldest/longest winter in many decades last winter so go figure that one out..however you want to look at it the weather is very messed up.

Re: Global Warming

Yes, the weather we used to get here in north Alaska is now bypassing us and dropping down to the Canadian border & Midwest, east and all the way to Florida & Texas. That's why you are getting our weather. The weather we are getting up here is now comming from the pacific and bringing lots of warmth.
Talked to a fella born and raised in Rampart, which is a village on the Yukon river. Used to be in the winter they would dig an ice hole to go fishing and they'd have to go down 9 feet through hard ice. This year he only had to go down 3 feet and the ice was much softer. The colder it gets, the harder & stronger ice becomes. Ice can actually become as strong as steel if cold enough.
The weather pattern has changed and is continuing to change. We are in a dynamic transitional period tha t has not stabilized.
If the info I'm getting from what I consider the "legitimate" scientific community are correct, more extreme and dramatic times are ahead.

Re: Global Warming

That aurora display must have been great to watch. It should remind us how fragile life is on this planet because that display is the radiation being deflected by the earths magnetic field-radiation that would kill us otherwise. Here in Michigan we got all your cold air Arty-this was the coldest winter i can remember here and i have lived here for over 30 years. I would have thought this would be a good thing for me since i love ice fishing but it was too cold for that because soon after drilling the hole through 2 feet of ice it would freeze back up again making fishing a hassle. Your line freezes, you rod freezes, your gloves freeze... A shantie would solve all these problems but they are not cheap. It is 16F here this morning but temps rising so ill be fishing. Will post some pics since i have a phone now that does not freeze. I think the extremes of weather as we are seeing them today are another affect of global warming and a very dangerous one for life on earth because life likes stability and these extremes can kill it. Two years ago we had the warmest winter ever recorded in Michigan with no safe ice all winter but this year we have the coldest winter ever recorded with 2 feet of ice down here in the south. These extremes are a ominous sign in my opinion.

Re: Global Warming

Up hear in north Alaska one often hears the denialist say: oh I remember when it was this warm back...
They refer to an anomaly or once in a blue moon occurrence to refute climatic change.
This winter stopped those jaw bones from flapping.
2/3 of January were above zero, and often double degits above. The first 7 days of February were all double degits above. Last week we had four 45 degree days in a row & a 50 degree day, preceded by three 31 aboves & a 27 above & a 25 above.
Used to be January & February never saw zero or any aboves but usually 10 below was the extreme warmest it would get but most likely 15 below was high temp and it would constantly dip down to 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 below and colder but never get warmer than 10 below.
This year is unprecedented. All the old timers are saying they have never seen this before.
Thirteen days of clear skies & the aurora has been screening bright with many colors. I even saw a color I've not seen before. A turquoise color. Heard there was a massive coronal ejection from old sol and can believe it from what I'm seeing.

I suggest you read the Fascistic or Religious Extremist Organisations Operating Inside Armenia thread.....

Now I know where you get your education from .

Do you have references ?

I suggest you read the Fascistic or Religious Extremist Organisations Operating Inside Armenia thread. Armenia isn't just going to get some floods for the "sins" of equality under the law - it is gong to get "extinction" and "Sodom and Gomorrah".

If that was the case I would classify Erdogan as a very moderate politician and somewhat educated.

Re: Global Warming

There was a scientist and expert on the earth's climate who was asked what advice he would give his grandchildren about how they could survive global warming - the advice was "learn to use a gun".

Arty will be pleased that everyone in Turkey is going to be very thirsty this summer: http://todayszaman.com/news-336251-l...-concerns.html

Erdogan will surely blame it all on foreign conspiracies to undermine Turkey's strength by stealing the nation's rain clouds.

If that was the case I would classify Erdogan as a very moderate politician and somewhat educated.
