And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The view from an apartment in Northern Iceland this week.
It's actually called climate change, not global warming. Turned out that many people couldn't understand the complexities of climate and simply assumed that the entire world was going to simply turn warmer. That isn't what's happening at all, because the complexities of climate change can in fact cause everything from extreme blizzards to record heat, with the ultimate result of an overall rise in temperature. To say that an extreme snowfall proves that the world isn't getting warmer is shortsighted.
Exactly. All I'm saying is there's no misunderstanding going on with any of the elitist word choices be it 'climate change' or 'global warming'- it is just scientifically absurd to think "we" can change the climate. In a lab or on a computer program- sure we can! But here in the real world- no, it is not happening.
Dictionary- "climate: the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years."
The very definition of climate is an average of its changes over a given period of time.
Looks contrived. Nobody in their right mind would put windows like that in a building in a cold environment... and nobody in their right mind would rent an apartment with windows like that in a cold environment. So... I say it's fake because I want to retain some residuum of faith in human intelligence. A lie surprises me less than blatant stupidity.
But then there's also the fact that Trump ever got elected to any public office, which undermines my faith very badly.
Global warming crisis my Aunt Fanny.
ReplyDelete3rd floor apartment?

It's also shortsighted to not remember "global warming" being the go-to catchphrase for common atmospheric conditions.
DeleteHas climate ever stopped changing? I think not.
DeleteHopefully this was first floor apartment...........
The Earths climate has been changing since the first book of Genesis described the Big Bang.
DeleteWhy is *NOW* the climate we want to keep?
