Global Warming The debbil made me do it
http://www.dailytech.com/Temperature...ticle10866.htm
Well, looks like we have been slacking off on our duty... Get out there and run those engines and warm things up.... Anyway, the comments on this article were fun to read... Lots of knee jerk, spittle flying, diatribes... Weighted heavily towards the Al Gore true believers of course, but also some ranters on the the other side of the 'discussion'... Then there are thoughtful perspectives and discussions of possible other variables overweighting the burning of fossil fuels - soot / solar output delta / what constitutes 'normal', etc... What constitutes normal is a fascinating area for research... The one poster hit the nail square on the head, when he commented that we won't know what 'normal' temperatures and CO2 levels are during an interglacial period, until roughly 500 years after we are back into glaciation... Then we can look back and calculate what 'normal' was supposed to be... denny |

Truth is this earth will be here way after us. The only way to really control things is to limit the population and it will be a long time before that happens. |

Very true and, in the due course of time, we will part of the fossil fuel reserves which for a future civilization--and the climate will continue to change in cycles as the continents continue to shift. |

In either direction. Be it up or down, one year is not enough to make a yea or nay statement. Sunspot activity, or lack there of has long been known to create drastic cold spells as with the so called "Maunder Minimum" and the little ice age. Temperature and precip vary widely from year to year and local to local so taken by itself this past year is only a blip in a sea of change. Give it another 10 years and then *maybe* we can say it probably, might, could have meant something. :-)) Here (Midland MI) they are talking about the possibility of an all time record snow fall total. 4 1/2 miles out of town where I live it's been nothing special. The same is true in Minnesota. Some areas already are reporting record snow falls while less than 10 miles away (Minneapolis area) they have less than average. Here, so far our temperatures are running close to average or a tad above on the 10 year scale. Denny is about 10 to 15 miles from me and I'd bet his winter has been different than mine, or Midland's. Driving over to the old family farm (Breckenridge 30 mi SW of here) finds very little snow. I don't know how the temps have been over there. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

Temps are dipping down to -5 degrees again tonight -- and it's March...
