LOL, frankly some snow would be nice around the white mountains this year.
Ski businesses are having a lousy year, right after we had a poor (at best) foliage season. A lot of ski and leaf peeper money stayed home in Boston so far.
Even Condo traffic on Hwy 93 has been light.
On the good side getting a table at any restaurants has been easy. Bad side the tourist business is hurting.
I've had my plow guy doing little jobs around the farm for me. Gas money if nothing else.
All the frost came put of the ground over the holidays, and logging shut down in the swamp behind my house. They cut for two days, even with eight low-ground-pressure tires, bolt-on tracks and a week of chilling, it's not crispy enough yet.
After an inch of fluffy high-teens snow, there's almost 2 inches of snow on the ground, it's like living down south this year.
I could learn to live with this as long as it stayed just below freezing, that 30s and 99% humidity plays hell with the joints.
Until you can model the effects of clouds and how sometimes they make it cooler while other times they make it warmer, just STFU. Go sit somewhere and play with yourself quietly.
And for God's sake, stop comparing temperatures to the coldest point in the last 10,000 years.
there is no level of bs and fear the government will not throw at you to maintain their jobs, pensions and benefits. Climate change is just one of many hobgoblins the government uses. and the equally corrupt and moronic folks in the media will repeat ad nauseum.
Well, one thing that has recently been made absolutely clear is all of the useful idiots have just about reached the end of their usefulness. History tells us what happens next.
The answer to the mile think ice question over Detoilet is Milankovitch cycles. We just passed the peak of the warm side of the one we're in, so that prediction from the seventy's about the "approaching ice age" may be correct, but none of us will live long enough to see it.

On another note, nice to see the return of a redheaded warrior fantasy woman in the header. She's either unhappy or looking for someone to kill.
Frikken’ WMUR won’t tell ya how much snow we’re getting until the night before. Plus they shut off comments on their YouTube page, can’t have us tell ‘‘em what we really think about their leftoid bent stories. Buncha pansies. Guess I’m putting on the snowblower on the Kubota and hunker down. Good luck.
1) I've no idea where you got "900mph" from. The largest storm on Jupiter, the giant red spot, has winds up to 400mph and has been around for several centuries, although the storm is decreasing in size and strength (as observed by astronomers for the last couple of centuries). The stronger and larger the storm, the longer it takes to die off. With Jupiters largest storm being one and a half times the size of planet earth, it's no surprise at all that it's still raging centuries later!
3) You're mistaken in thinking that the greenhouse effect can only take place on a planet inhabited by humans. Whilst the cause of Venus' greenhouse conditions can't be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, data (both observed from earth and collected by probes) strongly suggests that Venus' oceans of water (created in the same way ours were, by comets depositing water when impacting the planet) evaporated off into the atmosphere through geo-thermal (including volcanic) activity. The water vapour in the air, subjected to far stronger solar radiation than we ever experience on earth, due mainly to it's proximity to the sun, would see the hydrogen molecules break off, leaving carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide traps heat in the planets atmosphere, heating the planet further, creating a feedback loop. And voila, greenhouse planet!
This is really quite simple science, basic school level chemistry and physics here in the UK. Most kids that stayed awake in class at secondary school could explain this.
And, because it's Americans I'm trying to educate, I probably need to point out that we know, beyond ANY shadow of a doubt, that the earth is billions of years old. So if you don't believe oceans can be created from comet strikes, try to imagine how many comet strikes would occur in BILLIONS of years. You can't, because the human brain has developed to think in timescales like seconds, hours, days, years and centuries. It's like trying to imagine how big the universe is. We can't, it's simply too big for our limited brains to imagine!

Climate change: I'll make it simpler.

She's unhappy because she hasn't yet found someone to kill.
DeleteYou volunteering to make her happy?

Careful Anon, if these kids could see past their confirmation bias they'd be very upset!
DeleteThey're particularly annoyed by immutable facts!

For the record, I 'borrowed' those memes from everywhere, including you!
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for the hat tip.
Queries 1 & 3 are easy enough........

The universe is truely an astonishing place :)
The correct response for Americans is: "I could explain it to you, but I don't have enough time or crayons."
DeleteIf you Brits weren’t so small minded you too could be 34 trillion in debt.
