you'll believe in global warming in a few billion years when the sun goes into the red giant stage of life. Until then, it's much ado about nothing, seriously. I hope it gets warmer. I hope we get some good volcanos, well, not exactly Krakatoa or Yellowstone caldera proportions, just enough to wrap us in a pleasant little blanket of carbon dioxide which will help us stay warm while the sun is blocked out by the ash, like what has happened oh a million times before.
on the other hand, if we get the ice age again soon, as per the cycles we've been doing for a couple of million years, I'm gonna enjoy my beachfront property on the shores of Lake Bonneville. Probably, the fishing will be pretty good.
Only idiots really will waste money trying to control climate on this planet. The effective strategy is to sensibly adapt to change.
I've loved watching weather since I was a child. I told my wife this morning to mow the lawn because it's gonna rain, and I was outta town. Oh was she peeved. It's been raining for two weeks here in Salt Lake City. We've have 4 inchers of rain in the month of May, and it's been cool like April. Our lawns have been growing like crazy. Well, I thought about it, wound up my necessary chores and drove home, and relieved wifey halfway through the lawns, and I did the rest. And it started raining when I was just finishing the last patch. I figured today would be our best chance before company comes to stay for a week this weekend. Well, long story short, when she was driving off with the girls to their camping skills class, they waved bye and threw kisses at me while I was mowing the front lawn. I like being somebody's hero.
Persistent weather patterns once established get pretty predictable. We are getting moist air from the Pacific and cool air from Canada converging right over River City. So called because the gutters are running full.
