It's snowing here as I type this....Monday 2:30pm local time. Will not get too excited now as it will not stick. This past winter was the coldest one I recall, in my long life. The only ones which come close were January-February 1977 and, of course, the infamous winter of 1979 (78-79).

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Snow mixing with rain. It's mid April fer @$#! sake.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Had 2-3 inches slushy wet snow on the ground this morning, some of it is still sticking around. High temp of about 34 today.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Saturday was 81, Sunday was warm, until a storm blew in, last night was cold, and snow this morning, though none stuck. It didn't get over 40 today, and tonight will get down to 25, they say.
shaging fickle weather.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Of course the climate changes, the planet went from a hot wet place to a cold icy place...granted, it took several thousand years. Another forum I'm on, a guy posted a chart, owing to meterological and ice cores from the South Pole, etc, Earth is undergoing a regular cycle.

Saying it's anything but climate change, in other words, strictly the result of the last 150 years of man's impact on Earth is untrue and there simply hasn't been enough time to measure the latest trends against those of the the recent past (last 20,000 years or so).

I'm far from an expert, but out ancestors went after big hairy elephants with spears in stuff that makes what we've been getting look like a rainy spring day. We'll survive, if not a little more bitchy about the cold, LOL.
I went on an errand a few minutes ago, walked out, all bundled up, and was like, "hell, this ain't so bad", got in the mountaineer, and it's 28. Normally that would feel cold, but compared to 3 and 20mph gusts, it's a god heat wave. I'll take it.

It's funny that you say that when 97% of the experts in the field have said that the climate change we're seeing is anything but normal. Ice core sampling has shown many times over that the rate of climate change we're seeing now is unprecedented.

You could have at least tried to come up with a cogent argument.

Ok , so where's yours? You just did the same thing....

Not to turn this into a g match, but we had "global" warming and cooling for millions of years before Al Gore was more than a swiftly-multiplying cellular mass.

Of course there's no "record" to go by, 350,000 years ago there wasn't a massively developed civilization to gauge today's weather on as a comparison.

It's like saying that because Mustangs sold more, GM dropped the Camaro in the early early 2000's. It had nothing to do with Mustang sales, but a shrinking number of Camaro sales. Now whether or not the Camaro sales were directly influenced by the sales of Mustangs, Miatas, Mountaineers, or Midol isn't my strong field.

But I can tell you from reading history books from 30+ years ago that there were hot and cold cycles. My guess is that no year's weather will be identical to one before or after, as far as extremes go, but shifting tectonic plates, and alignment of other planets, starts, and the moon probably affect it more than some fatcat with a fatter wallet who stands to profit from fear mongering of people who don't know any better.

As far as "proof" of one vs the other, it's merely a bunch of scientists with differing theories. Blame it on Hitler, he roasted all those people...that probably did it, no? :poke:

Then what you're saying is "climate change is real, but it's probably not out fault". Correct?

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Given that climate change predates mankind, yes.

I am NOT saying we may have sped it up, but we didn't create it, outright. If and how much we've sped it up is beyond any of us partiting on a mere web forum dedicated to a run of cars that lasted 5 years or so....

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

This. There's a reason that the term "global warming" has been replaced by "climate change." Also I hear it's snowing at home. Not there right now so I can't be sure.
