Gee— we reached 72 degrees here today.
We are having a warmer than usual winter here in Texas.
It’s due to global warming.
I thought it was caused by aliens. Cue the aliens guy!
AWWW...da*n....we just got up to 37 degrees today....and there was even a little bit of sunshine!!!
AWWW...da*n....we just got up to 37 degrees today for the first time in about 2 weeks....and there was even a little bit of sunshine!!!
True. Aliens Cause Global Warming, a lecture by Michael Crichton.
Projected high temps starting tomorrow (Wed) here in Aiken County, SC (near Augusta, GA): 52, 61, 63, 59, 52, 68, 73, 82, 73, 70 and 68. 50s and 60s are normal highs around here this time of year.
If this is a massive winter, I say bring it on.
Forecast for the Next 3 Months

It’s 14 degrees Fahrenheit right now in NYC. Brrrrrrutal.
Apparently the Rocky Mountains are getting a pass on northern hemisphere weather. Typical winter last year, typical winter this year.
13 degrees here in Eastern MA.
I love the cold.
Nuts I know,but that’s the way it is.
I detest summer.

This link is to a paper that has essentially been ignored (”Solar Resonant Diffusion Waves as a Driver of Terrestrial Climate Change”):

There are more reasons to be concerned about global cooling than warming. If the theory explained in this paper is correct, it is the sun that is responsible for the 100,000 year ice age cycle. Interglacial periods are not the norm and we are nearing the end of this one. The beginning of the next ice age will be a disaster for humanity. If it were possible for the left to leverage this to promote their agenda, you would be hearing much more about it ...
Actually it is the variation of the orbital eccentricity of the Earth that influences the 100K year ice age cycles.
We are on the brink of another ice age. I don’t know how much of a disaster it will be for humanity. I think it depends on how fast it sets in.
But what causes changes in eccentricity I don’t know. It could be precession.
Heavy winters are magic for the Rocky Mtn states. It means skiing and winter recreation, it brings drinking and irrigation water, and it’s good for the fruit trees. Bring it.
Well, that’s just great....where WE live, in the Northwest....will be colder all the way through April...unlike most of the rest of the country.
We just went from highs in the 60’s and overnight frost warnings to highs in mid 80’s in one week here in SoCal.
FYI - Northern California is stuck in an inconvenient and barely reported cold snap.
