Climate is changing

Oh boy, makes me think of tha movie 'The day after'

Today is probably the 5th or 6th rainy day of this year!!!! Two days ago we were heating at around 30º C, two weeks ago it was -2 ºC......Where's this going to?

And for the first time in 11000 years the Climanjaro mountain doesn't have ice or snow.....

Know the feeling, but here its the first day of spring and we've gotten 4-5 inches of snow in the last 24 hours, with another 3-4 inches on the way. O btw, about 5 years ago on yesterdays date, the temperature was 75 degrees F

The past few winters here have been warmer and dryer than usual. We've had some nice summers too.

You can hate me for saying this, but I can't get enough global warming...

My car would idle day and night if I thought there was anything to the global warming crap. I hate winter, I hate cold temperatures and I would gladly take 105 degree average highs in the summer if it would be warmer in the winter.

Besides, a longer growing season would help with world hunger issues. Of course, the added vegetation would take in CO2 and give off oxygen and cause temperatures to cool again.

I still remember in the 70s all the scientists who claimed we were headed for another ice age. They were wrong then and I'm willing to bet good money they are wrong now.

I wonder how they know that this is the first time there has not been any snow for 11,000 years on Kilimanjero? Sounds like junk science to me.

There's probably some way of telling that through rock/sediment layers, or some type of record existing in the rock.
Geologists can tell how many times the Earth's magnetic field has reversed and which pole was magnetic north just from looking at sedimentary rocks cemented with hematite (magnetic mineral).
There's a lot of weird stuff they can figure out from the past.

don't worry about global warming-a warmer environment could be very poisitive-many scientists aren't gloom and doomers

I agree with Scott's post plus does anyone realize we are talking about a 0.5 degree rise in the next 100 years?

Who cares!

I remember that too! The same group of scientists, with very little "proof", claimed that the earth was cooling and that it meant the end of the world!!

Now they've reversed themselves 180 degrees and claim the "new" end of the world will be caused by warming. And of course, both disasters would be caused by pollution, etc. It's amazing how so many people are willing to swallow these" facts", simply because the media regurgitates it over and over.

Good ol' chicken little science. It keeps them well funded.

Just north of the Mason-Dixon, MD/PA had one of the better ski seasons this year

ScubaStevo · 03-23-05, 05:38

We have plus 12 in March

This isn't normal.
