Default We should be much hotter

In 1986 the father of global warming, NASA scientist Dr. James Hansen, said we should be at least 5 degrees Celsius warmer than we now are. Find out why he said that, April 17 at 10AM at Colony Cottage at the Civil Discourse club meeting.

Weather! Can't live with it, can't live without it.

Such fun! Such fun!

Weather seems to be getting more unpredictable and extreme. At our home up north we got a 30+ inch snow storm almost exactly a month ago, which was an all time record for mid March. The last two days have hit 90 degrees, another all time record for mid April. I can’t ever remember it feeling like summer in Florida on April 14th in Massachusetts. At least all the snow finally melted and the golf courses are opening up : )

PS - my buddy went skiing at Mt Snow in southern VT yesterday. Still lots of snow and he was skiing in the mid 80’s temperatures. Bizarre?

If it's more unpredictable, then our weather models are getting worse -- and in some ways they are -- as the Monday talk will show. But, weather is not more extreme. What's more extreme is media alarmism and everyone is falling for it. Today's climate is mild compared to the past ...

- 1924: 148 died in a tornado outbreak.
- 1927: 500 died in a Mississippi flood.
- 1913: Death Valley temperature hit world record high of 134 F.
- 1972: Loma, Montana, had a 24-hour temperature change of 103 F.
- 1977: Measurable snow in Miami.
- There are hundreds more examples of more extreme past weather events.
- Plus, we're in a 7-year cooling trend.

There is only one that can control the climate.

This is nothing new, the earth has been going thru these cycles for millions of years. Many so called scientists/weather scientists have been caught for their biased observations. For every climate doomsayer scientist there are more scientists saying the opposite

I'd say that whoever that is, he/she is not doing a very good job at 'control of the climate'. He/she must enjoy watching us deal with drought in one area of the country and flooding in another.

No one is controlling the climate in my view of things.

One thing we say in Wisconsin. IF you don't like the weather, wait an hour, it'll change.
Remember back in the 70s when Lake Michigan froze over? Scientists told us we were on the verge of the next Global Ice Age. I guess they were wrong Again.
And Again, And Again. LOL

It's Sunday, so I'll say Amen. However, here's what the scientists at the United Nations' climate change office (IPCC) said in 2001: “In climate research and modeling … the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.”

Hard to argue facts. Weather is definitely getting crazy 26 inches in Fort Lauderdale most of which came down in 7 hours. Wait till the impending flooding in California when the 70 feet of snow melts and none of that snow is headed to the worst affected area, Lake Mead and Lake Powell.

Well, it's not like California hasn't done anything to improve their electric grid or water resources in the last 60 years...

Oh, wait... They haven't...
