And oh, Algore? The reason it is hot this year? Solar maximum. You know that 11 year cycle? Look it up. It ain’t coal fuelin this train.
OMG, now global warming is so bad that its affecting the Sun.
And leave you lying in the ditch.
I was looking at river flow on one of the local streams. Data was available since about 1930. Since 2000 the flow has gone down as low as 5 cubic feet per second THREE times. The period since 2000 has also had some of the highest flows.
In the 70 years prior to 2000 the flow only reached that level twice.
Something has changed, probably the climate and probably normal and we probably can’t do much about it either way.
I know we’ve been through one heck of a dry spell and I’m ready to get back to something more normal. I can’t remember the last long lingering rain.
It’s not hot here in the midwest. Today is the first day we’ve broken 90 all summer. Last year we had over 40 days over 90 by this time.
There will always be variations. But I agree that man made global warming/climate change/whatever is bogus. They cannot account for the Medieval Warm Period or the Interglacial Period, other than by “getting rid of them.”
