No Parrots Here
 

I understand the AGENDA of the group claiming we burn fossil fuels too much.

Hopefully you understand not everyone agrees with their ever changing of definitions for convenience.

For instance the misuse of the term “climate”. Climate is a term used for “long” periods of weather. A long period isn’t defined of course. For one a long period could be a month, for the next perhaps a decade and so on.

Since Global Warming doesn’t fit the agenda, it has been changed to climate change…lol

I love the cold and the snow. I hate the salt, slush, and mud that accumulates. And it ain't a snowstorm unless it deposits over 3 feet of snow.

More like the name was changed to help those who honestly didn't understand that Global warming did not preclude a frost warming in the Villages. Unfortunately, those who intentionally choose to be misinformed chose to be misinformed on that was well.

Very simply (and I suspect you know this but since you are playing as if you don't): Global warming is causing Global Climate Change resulting in abnormal and severe weather events.

However, cold snaps in Florida, snow in Maryland, and even snow in Hawaii are uncommon but not abnormal or severe. On the other hand, sustained or frequently occurring events such as these might be an indication of climate change.

Earth’s Changes
 

Since scientists agree the Earth has gone through several ice ages and warming periods, would this current suspected climate trend be considered an anomaly or more of the same?

What you feel is 180 degrees OPPOSITE of the reality of what Scientists are measuring.
........Climate Scientists project that 2024 will be the HOTTEST YEAR on RECORD - the 1st year to pass 1.5 degrees C of warming.

Clearly, that's being debated. There is a proven correlation between the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, an increase in the rate of warming, and an increase in severe weather. Correlations are nice but proofs of causation are needed.

On the other hand, the deniers will point out that we are coming out of an ice age so warming is natural, that we are in a cooling trend, that CO2 is not increasing, but that the curren warming and increasing CO2 is what plants crave. Figuring out what some of the deniers actually believe is like nailing jello to the wall.

Cold in the Villages Florida
 

Lived in the Keys at MM24 Iguanas fell out of the palm trees and their was a huge fish kill in the canals in 2010 it was 44 degrees for 2 nights in a row it was cold and windy !!!!!!

That’s weird because our first Christmas here two years ago it was 25° at 7am Christmas morning. I remember going out on the porch to feel it because coming from SoCal I had never experienced 25 degrees on Christmas. Pretty sure I didn’t just imagine it. 🤔

You could. But global warming takes a longer view. Years, not just months. It looks at rising ocean temperatures and rising sea levels m.

Googled it. Wildwood, FL on Christmas Day in 2022: Night 27°, Day 45°. My iPhone weather app at the time said 25° at 7am.

Yes! I commented before I saw your post. It was 25° at 7am Christmas morning in 2022. I loved it since I’d never before experienced Christmas that cold having lived my whole life in SoCal. Hubby as a former Michigander did not love it as much as I did. 😊

1st winter here was 20/21. That year 10 days of temps under 40 before Christmas . 4-5 days this year so far. Weather patterns a little different.

Different strokes for different folk. In meantime, we go from 24 guys playing 18 holes in the winter and scrambling to get 8 guys together and play only 9 holes and dodge the rain storms

Warming makes things colder. It is because all the glaciers melted away in 2015. Al Gore would never have lied about that for financial gain, right?

I don't recall December of 2010....but I do remember December of 2009...1st yr here. It was said to be the coldest in history then. The cold continued for most of that winter (going into 2010). We tell folks if they want to visit us...the best weather times are Spring and Fall. Generally this is true but the seasons can vary just as they did "up north".

I might add....I don't believe in Global Warming but that's a whole other conversation.
