Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this isn’t serious. What I am saying is that things will have to get very drastic before present “solutions” will be viable. Putting the genie back in the bottle is not a reasonable option. Until we come up with something better, we are pretty much stuck ruling in Hell…

The last few years the overall global temperature has actually cooled. We’ve had the wettest and coolest spring in over 50 years. I’ve only watered the yard once since last October–extraodinarily unusual for Utah. When I went out to reconnoiter my garden this morning, I could actually see my breath! Right now I need a little of that global warming!

So, all we need to do is give up heating and cooling our homes, quit driving cars and such and eat our food cold, which cannot include beef since cows emit CO2 and stop making anything…

You first!

;-)

Then of course when we stop all these things, the Chinese will start up with a vengeance where we left off…

I’m personally planting a coupla trees. They should offset my CO2 footprint…

@Shaithis: Dismissing all evidence as invalid because you consider it to be deliberately misinterpreted or biased is a pretty good way to never see “any evidence of climate change.”

What would motivate the United States Global Change Research Program to present data that is contrary to it’s own program? How can you know it’s an unbiased report? Statistics can be bent and skewed toward any conclusion you want. So far, I haven’t seen any evidence of climate change.

I’ll say!

We used to have mild springs and warm but not desert-like summers in the California central valley. Now we’ll have a week of 100+ days in May, 90+ all June but strangely in the 40s at night, and then a week or two in July of 110+ days.

One year we had to run our AC pretty much 24/7 in July (pregnant lady in the house). It never got below 80° in the house during the day. $500 power bill.

Our in our back yard, which is well-watered and well cared for, we have bare patches where ground cover hasn’t taken over yet, and it’s developing 6″ deep cracks in the earth, sometimes overnight.

How long will it take for nature to recover by itself after we ruin it with an environmental catastrophe?
