I want what I call porno snow.

 

Lots of inches.

UN Official: The Real Reason For The Global Warming Scare Is To Kill Off Capitalism - Page 2 of 2 - Truth And Action

Talk about worrying about something that is probably out of our (human) hands...

 

Supposedly CO2 is the driver. And CO2 is at modern record levels and is not going to slow down or reverse with any actions in the near future. Rising CO2 is a given.

 

From 1970 to now CO2 has gone from less than 330 ppm to over 400 ppm.

 

Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide | NOAA Climate.gov

If CO2 is a driver and the magic number is 500 ppm or so - we are already doomed.

 

Of course the projection is that the oceans will rise and we will get this:

There are even charts that show the threat...

And...

And here is the track (since the magic 1880 year) at this url:

 

Climate Change Indicators: Sea Level | Climate Change Indicators in the United States | US EPA

 

The scary charts show what will happen if the sea rise is in meters. And since 1880 the rise is...1/4 meter. Using even what is probably 'the worst' data points on this subject.

 

So either the theorys on man-made CO2 driven are wrong or we are dead already.

 

Ignored are data points that show there are cycles and the cycles will continue. Most charts start at 1880. Some only do the last 50 or so years. But the bigger picture shows:

 

a) 2016 is not 'hottest' on record. The medieval warming period was warmer.

b) Warming has recently slowed, some say it has stopped. Possibly being driven by Sun power output - driven sunspot activity. We are apparently headed in a grand minimum. The Little Ice Age seems to correspond to the Mulder Grand Minimum.

 

c) Our magnetic protection from the sun's energy - the magnetosphere - is 20% or more less powerful in recent decades.

 

Are the cycles purely natural - hard to say. Does man impact the cycle - maybe, but probably does not as much as we are led to believe. At least CO2 impact theories have not played out at all. Can we quickly fix the rise in CO2 - no. Can we reverse its rise - heck no, its going to continue to rise. Should we reduce 'carbon footprints' - it if makes us feel good, can't hurt.

 

In closing. Here is good chart of temps since the dawn of (this) era of mankind. If you go back further the swings and cycles are even far more pronounced. Things are changing. They have always changed. Climate cycles a past, current and future are fact. I do not think any is 'denying' that. But can 'we' do about? Like it or not - probably not much at all. And 2016 was not 'warmest ever' in history...only if your history goes back to 1880....a sliver of geological time.

The global warming maps and where the ocean rises to drowned out cities looks a lot like the electorate vote from the past presidency. Maybe this is God trying to throw some shade at Hillary supporters!

Awesome. 63 Degrees on Feb. 7. So glad its not cold so the golfers can play, the bugs can keep spreading, allergies keep making kids get sicker, plants get screwed up on when to bloom, etc, etc. Thanks humans.

Where were you when it was 11 degrees about a week ago?

[mcpapa]

11 degrees in February isn't unusual. Mid-high 60s is.

 

But as we all know, both are isolated inicdents and not indicative of a larger trend.
