Global Warming Rearing Its Ugly Head in the Carolinas

[i am herdman]

Global Warming is so bad that it is snowing big amounts in the South. It has actually reversed the weather.

We need a lecture on the difference between weather and climate! That will help.

This is worse than the thought. It is so warm that it is snowing! It has not done this since 1953. We are caught in a time warm continuum, folks!

----------------------
A storm system that's bringing heavy snow and freezing rain across a large section of the South is leaving thousands without power Sunday as wintry precipitation blasts the region.

Over 247,000 customers in North Carolina are without power as of 2:00 p.m. ET Sunday as now and freezing precipitation continue to fall, according to North Carolina Emergency Management.

"North Carolina is in the cold, icy grip of a mammoth winter storm," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said at a news conference. "Enjoy the beauty but respect the danger. Don't be fooled. This storm is treacherous."

2018 to be 4th hottest year on record...

This info is from the World Meteorological Association. Here's the raw report...

The global temperature record shows the fluctuations of the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans through various spans of time. The most detailed information exists since 1850, when methodical thermometer-based records began

The Earth is 4.543 billion years old or at a minimum 6,000 years old(for those who believe that way).

Yep...it happened before. It wasn't pretty for life when it did. I mean, not unless you call mass extinction pretty...

This is the fossil remains from The Permian Period. It was the increase in global temperatures that robbed the ocean of oxygen and fueled the extinction. The thing about heating in the past, is none of it happened when man was here. The environment would never had sustained humans. So excuse me if I don't get all excited that it happened before.

Also, we know what drove the temperature on early earth. Carbon. We know where that carbon came from...volcanic activity from an unsettled core. We also know what the source for carbon is in our atmosphere now. Hint...it isn't volcanic activity. Our core is more settled. A recent study shows that 90% of the warming is from human endeavors. This is from the Trump Administration itself...

But in the age of Trumpian anti-intellectulism, if it snows in the Carolinas it must be a hoax.

If GK and his "scientist" friends had been around in the distant past, they could have prevented the world from coming out of multiple ice ages or glacial periods. who's down for skiing or snowboarding? oh what could have been.

how can that be? was man there burning fossil fuel?

Five myths about climate change

MYTH NO. 5
It's cold outside — global warming can't be real.

"Think of it this way: Weather is like your mood, and climate is like your personality. Weather is what occurs in a certain place at a certain time. Climate is the long-term average of weather over decades. The fact it was cold and snowy one day last week? That’s weather. Global warming or not, cold days still occur, particularly in winter. But since 2000, we’re seeing far more new hot-temperature records than cold ones. In fact, in 2017, we saw more than 10,000 cold-temperature records broken at weather stations across the United States. And more than 36,000 high-temperature records were broken the same year."

The moving goal post of man made global warming.

It’s snowing so global warming doesn’t exist is the equivalent of saying it is dark at 8:00 pm EST on January 15th in the northern hemisphere so the length of daylight hours can’t be increasing.

It's like saying hunger doesn't exist because I just ate.

I never said global warming doesn't exist. Where we differ is man's cause of it and why we should not hurt the US economy and national interest over it.

Plus, global warming and man's causes are like ambulance chasing.

Doesn't matter. Yellowstone is going to blow and kill most of us anyway.

Only humans (some) are arrogant enough to think they hold the keys to their species immortality.

At the onset of humanity, there was very little that separated us from the rest of the animals on earth. We rose as the dominant animal because our intelligence set us apart...thus our homo sapien label (wise man). We have risen from all of the other creatures on earth to a level where we have a great understanding of how the laws of physics work. We have manipulated our environment to develop all of these technological advances that we take for granted.

Yet here we are in an age of unimaginable knowledge when viewed on the short scale of humanity and for some reason a segment of our society is shunning everything intellectual...including our president and his minion. Of course there are threats out of our control. There are a host of things that could wipe us out without our ability to do anything about it. Global Warming is not one of them. We can solve that problem. Yet here we are in a debate about whether our present lifestyle is worth our future existence. Trump 2020.

The weather goes in cycles. Man's effect on the climate is minimal. People searching and grasping for answers.

So we are so respect a side that calls us minions? And, a side that comes across as arrogant. Maybe we know bull shit we see and hear it.

And, just how are we going solve "the problem"? How are we going to solve "the problem" without compromising the US economy and our strategic significance in the world? I have yet to see or here these viable answers. How does this country do that without being at a disadvantage globally?

We can't use fossil fules. No nuclear because of the Indiana bat or centipede. No mining. Don't use plastics. Drive go karts for cars. Regulate light bulbs. Do all that but, not in my back yard.

Frankly, the panic is ludicrous to the point of being a fad or an addiction.

Most climate change ideas are built on the assumption that the dark people in Asia and Africa get to stay in 3rd world conditions, while the wealthy elite white people get to still be comfortably upper class all while their "green energy" kills birds and makes Sudbury, Ontario glow from mining nickel for batteries.

 

[Chevy1]

Well hell, let's just allow business to pollute the water and air again. Everybody knows those regs get in the way of profitability - and, after all, that's the reason we exist on this planet. Besides, breathing and drinkable water are over-rated. Might as well face the fact we're going to die from something...getting poisoned from a water source or from sort of lung disease are as good as any I've heard.

Climate change?.... Bring it.

Exaggerate much?

Wasn't aware that solar panels and hydropower units kill birds.

This Mojave Desert solar plant kills 6,000 birds a year. Here's why that won't change any time soon

You say that's a solar power plant....looks to me like a cover-up for testing our new death ray.

They are two very different terms for two very different things.

Where you and I live and Orlando FL all share the same climate (Cfa under the Koppen system, or humid subtropical climate)....but we have very different weather on any given day. I'm pretty sure Orlando has never hit Louisville's record low (-22) nor our record snowfall (22 inches).
