As the planet heats up, we’re going to have more severe and crazy weather:
Extreme rainfall was far more likely to appear in the computer simulations of our current climate than in a world without global warming, so they’re fairly confident in saying that the flooding was linked to global warming. The excessive rainfall is pretty simple to explain.
“It’s largely driven by the fact that the air is just warmer, and therefore holding more water,” [researcher Myles] Allen says.
Instead of cursing at the sky, curse at the cars and coal plants.
“Blade Runner” predicted this.
Curse at the steam rising from all of that hot rain (cue saxophone) !!
Nothing that crippling carbon taxes paid to the world bank, that the big polluters and oil company’s are exempt from, can’t fix.
But we had SNOW this week! Where’s Al Gore and his global warming bong-water brigade now!?
Here, I’ll sell you some ‘carbon credits’
Who wants to pay me?
… because “global warming” doesn’t make the local weather warmer. If you think of temperature of what it really is – the measure of how much energy is in the system – and you have a basic understanding of how that means (something that hasn’t been taught in this country for at least twenty years) then it becomes clear: more energy into the system means more potential for more chaos, which means more extreme and unpredictable weather.
Which means the summers will be warmer (unless they aren’t locally) and winters will be bitterer (unless they aren’t). The wineries in Yamhill County might be having to diversify away from Pinot someday soon.
I curse at cars every morning as I try to cross Hawthorne to my bus stop. If you drive down Hawthorne in the morning, please switch to Belmont or Division so I can cross more easily. Thank you.
Smirk you missed the memo about climate change, about 5 years ago, professionals quit using the term global warming.
@Todd — the reason traffic had to move off Belmont and Division and onto Hawthorne is the bus is in the way now that traffic calming took away the passing lane.
Everybody complains about the weather, and we do something about it.
