FiredMotorCompany Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Looks like the modest attempts to minimize greenhouse gasses and global warming that we have implemented to date were more effective than anticipated. Everybody, start idling your cars and let's re-start some of our coal powered power plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiredMotorCompany Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Climate change or not there are still variables outside our control. Agreed. I was just mocking the climate change advocates with absurdity. What if the environment really WAS that sensitive? Teetering back and forth based on the slightest changes in man-made pollutants/greenhouse gasses? That MAY explain why prognosticators have such a hard time with long term accuracy. Like the weatherman. 2% accuracy for 30 days forecast. 70% accuracy for the week ahead forecast. 93% accuracy for the day ahead forecast. 100% accuracy for yesterday.

The problem with some of the models like Hansen's is that he figured too much sensitivity to greenhouse gases. had he assumed a slightly less aggressive multiplier than his B Model would be pretty close.

TomServo92 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yesterday was the third day this winter we had winter storm warnings and iced up roads in Houston. I realize it's nothing compared to other parts of the country but it's very unusual here to have it happen that much in a single winter. Personally, I'm ready for warmer weather.

NickF1011 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Does climate change involve temperature? Does weather involve temperature? Yes, but on entirely different time scales. A week or month or season or even several years don't really encompass overall climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmccap Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yes, but on entirely different time scales. A week or month or season or even several years don't really encompass overall climate. Just like the 100 or 200 years you always see in the pro global warming groups charts and reports don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford truck guy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 We have had 16 storms in 15 weeks... I do snow removal as a side and would not mind if I never see another snow flake for years..... This has taken a toll on a lot of people..... It wears you down...there was a stretch of winter that we had no power for 7 days from the storms... Thankfully I have generators.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
