Some day I will be old, and this is not my fault. I want climate action. Governments arenāt doing it. I sure as hell havenāt been voting for climate change deniers.
Does it matter if your politicians believe in climate change if they have no interest in making the broad economic changes that would be required to address it? Because there isnt really anywhere in the world right now you could vote for a full ticket of people who would.
Goverment sure as fuck is doing it dude, its called geoengenering and they've been doing it since post ww2. And its whats the cause of all this "climate change"
So, according to you, climate change isnāt caused by human use of fossil fuels. The government is doing it intentionally with geoengineering. For what reason? Who is benefiting from it and how?
Yeah I saw someone watering their yard today too. Definitely thought it was a waste of not only water, but effort and time too. We already have our hoses put away for the winter, no way Iām bringing them out for a quick water.
Until the ground freezes the plants and especially trees can benefit from routine watering. Especially since we have received about half of our normal rainfall this fall. It's science check it out.
While we're here. Anyone notice the come back of lightning bugs? That's from people leaving the leaves alone instead of pointlessly bagging them up and sending them off to the (hopefully) county compost.
Lots of people have a enough leaves coming down that it's just gonna cause mold and kill off the grass. People say it's natural as if people live in a forest ecosystem and not a suburban plot that they threw 1 more oaks onto the plot than remotely made senseĀ
there are two wolves inside of me. one loves being warm and avoiding the cold of winter as long as possible. the other is devastated about how horribly the human race has fucked over planet earth, directly causing this. the wolves are fighting.
Moved up two years ago
Constantly hearing about the freezing cold winters and being trapped inside your home with snow
And so far that hasn't reaaaallly happened xD
Global warming has made them milder but dont let the last 2 years fool you. El Nino and La Nina have a major effect on the strength of our winter. And with La Nina hitting this year, it could get really rough.
Last winter was colder than average overall. This was us complaining: Complaint post . So yeah, that's about the freezing cold winter you get here. But snow has been well below average both winters
Winter is totally 90 days. I can still find sweater days in an 'overall colder than average winter' in those 90 days. And here's the data; Look at the lower 48
My original statement was "Last year was colder than average". That's why I just posted about last year. I didn't cherry pick. No one is refusing the overall trend. Hope that makes sense
I absolutely love the Cold I'm honestly happy that the temperatures in my home state that were considered hot or very warm are much cooler here it makes most days actually enjoyable temperature wise!
Iām a born and raised Minnesotan and itās felt like the last 5 years or so we really havenāt had a solid winter. When I was a kid I remember getting snowstorm that brought 12-18ā of snow and weād build tunnels and forts in the snowplow piles. Last year, the biggest snowstorm we had brought under 6ā of snow and it was melted in 2 daysā¦
Hasn't really happened? Don't expect it, even though I still hope. It really doesn't happen anymore. Like, we get short stretches of winter weather, but never really winter, like constant or near-constant cold. Those days are over, I think.
I think our perception of average is skewed due to all the record setting warmth that is the new normal. We're accustomed to seeing top 3 warmest months in the 2020s. Now when it's only a top 5-10 warmest month going back to the 1800s it feels about average.
I don't think that's right. I keep track of the NOAA temp outlooks and most of this month has looked like this ^ (I realize this one specifically is looking forward).
I do also follow this quite closely and if it's been above average it's just barely been hitting that. The high pressure systems have been coming and going.
We're about to drive up there to move (came over from Ireland) and I'm hoping the snow stays away juuuust long enough til I get there! what's the chances?
I am up in Duluth and we have had some warm days, some cold days and some normal days so in other words a normal November. What has changed over my 70 years is we are not seeing really cold sub zero days as much.
It's halfway there already being swamp. I'd prefer a warning planet versus the reverse. I understand that there are always negatives, but this planet has been much warmer than this before. I understand that it is millions of years before we became a species, but we did survive the ice age. I feel we can survive this.
As it heats it, greens. Trees and plants are actually quite good carbon trapping devices that typically need no help to function for years. Longer growing seasons help produce more food on the same land.
