Jeez! What happened to global warming

[BWR1953]

What ya building, maybe a guard rail?

It'll be sorta like this.

Just read article that scientists are now concerned that we may be heading into a cooling period.

They can't seem to make up their minds.

Well crap it hit 44 degrees yesterday with the wind, the ice flooded/opened up all the spring spots the ice is gray I would guess the springs will break thru too. There is a culvert that drains the lake I think it froze solid over the weekend and all the water from the springs has no place to go but up.

the pollinators will be dead long before the planet freezes. Not worried about the next cooling cycle as mankind will be done in a much shorter period of time.

Well shoot, here I thought the northern states would be the perfect place to live. Looks like I still need to move south...

Not if we all go out and buy electric vehicles !! Lol...

That is funny.

Remember it use to be called global cooling. Then they determined it wasn’t really cooling. So it was changed to global warming. And again global warming didn’t really fit. So then the correct term was decided to be climate change. Climate change covers warming, cooling, and not doing either. Of course climate change has been around for over 4 billion years since earths creation. So I just call it weather . Some years it warmer, some yeas it’s cooler, some years we have more rain and snow some years less. It’s just weather which can’t be predicted accurately out much over a week. We don’t know what’s it’s going to be next year or the year after. We don’t even know accurately what it’s going to be next month. So I just take it a day or two at a time. Some days I wear a jacket some days I dont.

Climate is not weather, and weather is not climate

In 1975 and 1976 was on a USCG ice breaker which went to the north and south polar regions. The ice was so thick we almost got stuck behind a pressure ridge on the north slope. A cargo ship thought they could make it on their on heading to Mcmurdo station antarctic and we had to dig them out. Lucky they had a double hull because the 10 ft rip in their outer skin would have been deadly.

Ok, now both places had enough ice that we walked across the ice for a few hundred yards to the station. Large trucks hauled supplies across the ice also to the station. NOW, all the ice is all gone, you see nothing but dirt and rock. The walrus and seal meat in Scott's hut has spoiled after being solid since 1911

Things are changing weather you believe it or not. Deciding not to try and understand is a individual decision

Sure it changes and has changed, what has caused it is up to debate and yes there are healthy reasons to be skeptical when funded groups tell us what the cause is.

I know this is a bad question but what does funded groups have to do with science?

Someone works their like to find a cure for cancer and they get paid. Someone else works their life to find the reason for climate change and they get paid.

Science deals with facts (cancer or climate) and those same facts go around the globe and are pier reviewed. Other Scholars from around the globe review and provide feedback. So what does funding have to do with any of it?

Who would work for years trying to discover a cure, or a reason for free? They to must support their family

Because there is too much money in research.

Going on 87 and still cutting and splitting my own wood. Have a log home of about 3400 sq ft but don't heat two bedrooms and a bath on the third floor. We have a geothermal heat pump system but mostly depend on a wood stove on one floor and a circulating fireplace on the other. We don't work so it is not a problem feeding the fires. The house sits in the middle of 25+ acres of woods so the wood is basically free. I realize I don't work as fast as I used to but still get the job done. However I compensate by working smarter. One of my Amish neighbors was kidding me a few years ago about a couple of high stumps I was leaving. I explained if I fell the tree while I am standing I already have a head start to run for safety. Then I go back and flush the stump which will give me another 20-24" billet. This fall he mentioned to me now that he is in his late 40's he is using the same system.

Gotta love the science deniers that twist themselves into a pretzel to come up with some way to discredit research!

Climate change makes weather more severe both, cold and hot.
