***Many of us are old enough to remember the scare stories from the 1970s,***
I remember those days! We were going into an ice age and had better get ready for it! Even our farm magazines warned us that we had better get ready to grow crops in Alabama that would have been grown in Illinois due to the coming ice age! I even moved from my beloved New Mexico to Arkansas because I could get two crops in for survival! Then I found BUGs! Moths, chiggers, ticks! Forget two crops!
We were fed a bill of goods back in the 1970s! Anyone who doubts it should read the MOTHER EARTH NEWS at that time or THE WHOLE EARTH CATALOG from those years.
Now I am still stuck in Arkansas. One thing I did learn, In 1956, The first cold weather and snow came within one week before or after Thanksgiving! 1976 was an especially bad year! Extreme cold on Thanksgiving day!
Every year has proven this correct. This year it came within a week of Thanksgiving. No change from 1956. So much for GLO-BULL WARMING!
Around 1997 I noticed the jonquils coming up on Jan 5! Earliest ever! About the time the glo-ull warmingists were proclaming gloom and doom!
They have never come up that early since.
But,,,, my feet are cold!
Fun posts from fellow baby-boomers! Where was the global warming in Buffalo a couple of weeks ago?
