So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

I know... you always have snowstorms in the winter... this may be a portent of things to come...

Ok, now you must be trolling. An average winter storm is portent of things to come?

 

[dik]

...maybe a little more than average... we'll have to wait and find out. Who knows, maybe a White 4th of July is in the future?

That's what they like in the New Zealand and Australian ski resorts.

Somebody seems to be smartening up about EVs...

Another example of why the "experts" are not to be trusted.

I know... you've always had weather...

What if it's a sign of more things to come?

More mild storms? Not sure my neighbors care about minor inconveniences on the horizon.

 

[TugboatEng]

I think for most of the world, storms are how we get our precipitation. I wouldn't call them a minor inconvenience. They're more of a necessity. I don't know where the most recent comments here are trying to lead?

 

[dik]

If that's mild... it will be interesting if they ever get severe!

[CWB1]

Minor inconvenience, a necessarily evil from some perspectives perhaps. After posting earlier I had the thought that my smartassed response should have pointed out the disappointment of fellow skiers and snow-machiners at the lack of promised snow.

And yes, stateside that was a pretty mild storm by all accounts that I've heard.

dik there is more to come the climate engineering is at peak now. Climate change is key to the agenda.

 

[TugboatEng]

Those dang climate engineers and their average weather...

 

[dik]

There doesn't seem to be much of an improvement.

and Tug, is weather were seasonably adjusted, we wouldn't have any, it would seem.

The greater use of coal is good news for those who would otherwise freeze. When other sources of power and heating fail to deliver, the earth still has abundant coal.

 

[TugboatEng]

I'm mostly curious about how fossil fuel deposits got so far underground. Did Pangaea have that much biomass? How can anybody argue that CO2 in the atmosphere is bad for life? Perhaps we are living at the end of the worst extinction event ever and things will only get better as CO2 returns to historical levels.

 

[GregLocock]

As to that, in the fairly recent rather cold weather known as the Ice Ages CO2 fell to within a hair's breadth (0.0005%) of (typical) plants being unable to survive - of course they'd have adapted one way or another, mostly by dying and making room for mosses and the like, so they wouldn't be the sort of things we're used to. Proto mammals originated back when CO2 was 5 times today's levels, the current levels are very low from a paleo point of view. Hominids have happily survived for millions of years with levels around 1000 ppm.

Worth noting in these discussions is that there will almost ALWAYS be someone concerned about something in every matter. Concern over potential climate change isnt new nor did modern science/tech/data create it. The ancestors of our modern greenies berated others for not joining their rain dances, terrified prayers against thunder, and other religious ceremonies. The only real change is their shift from an extreme belief in religion to an extreme view of "science."

 

[TugboatEng]

Fear is the problem. Fear has been used to sell climate change. Fear prevents rational thought.
