The Day After Tomorrow Coming?

Tornadoes in LA: Well, at the current time there is a Tornado Warning in San Bernardino County. A couple of weeks ago, there was one in Gila County, AZ (Globe to be precise).

The East Coast has been socked this year with storm after storm. I am originally from the NY and I rarely remember this many storms hitting the Northeast.

The storms this winter are more violent, dropping more precipitation and are more frequent.

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but didn't the beginning of the end start with more violent, out-of-place weather.

Hell, here in Tucson, we are WELL above normal for temperature and WELL above normal for rainfall this time of year.

"Dry Creek" has been flowing since Nov!! I never remember so much rain here in 'Zona....plus we had an EARTHQUAKE here on Wed morning ( a 4.6)

I agree...the weather is very strange and eratic....just had a friend from Canada tell me they are way way above normal temps for this time of year!!

Earth changes have been predicted for how long?? Some people still don't believe they will happen and we are actually well into them....

:D

Just kidding! ;)

NASA warns 2005 will be the hottest year yet
The UN has said rich nations are setting “a bad example” with greenhouse gases

Edu Lartzanguren – DONOSTIA (San Sebastian)

If we have been lulled into a false sense of security by the cold and snows of recent weeks, we have been rudely awakened by NASA. This year has seen the worst combination: the gases produced by humans relentlessly go on warming up the Earth, and El Niño is very weak. So, since the 1800’s when temperature records began to be kept, 2005 has every chance of being the hottest year yet. 2003, which killed thousands of people in Europe, could soon be regarded as a cool summer.

Here in Los Angeles we are as sick of the rain as can be. Oh yeah, then there's the tornados.

But I'm so sick of rain here in central New Mexico that I'm ready to move back there, just for a change from rain to snow.

I guess the drought is over. Bring on the Hantaavirus!

nw Ohio we usually have really terrible weather all year. But the last several years we have become the vacation spot of the country ie. fantastic weather . only 2-3 bad weather weeks in Jan. and 2-3 weeks really hot weather in Aug. other than that super.

LOL! I'm in NW Ohio too. :hi: Howdy neighbor!

we're down Defiance way, and it's really depressing.But at least today we went to the Home and Garden show in Fort Wayne and it's helping me get through these gray days.Spring is on the way!!!!:bounce: :bounce:

Print edition, has an article claiming when slash and burn agriculture started about 8,000 years ago THAT's when global warming started and it has held back the ice age that we should already be in according to all the orbital parameters. Half of Canada is supposed to be under ice by now, and would be if it weren't for human slash and burn + even more CO2 since the industrial revolution.

From other sources: if enough ice melts on Greenland the lighter fresh water will flow into the North Atlantic displacing the heavier, salt water and the normal sinking of North Atlantic salt water will cease because fersh water isn't heavy enough to sink through salt water no matter how cold it is.

When that happens, the cold water no longer flows south along the ocean botom to rise at the equator and be warmed before flowing back north like a giant conveyor belt. Result: The ocean currents shut down and the northern hemisphere north of about 40-degrees lat freezes solid, starting at the higher elevations and working its way down to sea level. Now because that would suddenly shut down a LOT of industrial polution, CO2 emissions suddenly drop and without them to hold back the ice age we are supposed to be having, it suddenly gets back on track.

The scenario in the movie about super-cold air falling from the stratosphere just doesn't wash because as air falls it compresses, and as it compresses, it warms, so that much of the movie's premise is just bogus. But it would get really cold, really fast, and stay that way for a long, long time. A few thousand years at least.

something I wouldn't nedessarily plan for but the rest ... the changing of gulf stream and other major currents as well as the havoc that would cause to the northern climes.

I think he is combining bits of every theory?

His map of future earth is interesting.

I am curious as to how much money he is making
from this.

Goggling him, there are sites discussing his books.

How funny. There are so many creative names, some of them very amusing and witty puns or other plays on words. Warren Stupidity, Bertha Venation are two of my other favorites that come to mind.

reacting.

The fresh water is killing off sea life which serves to clean CO2. The other problems that are just beginning is the rising temps are harming forests. Another natural CO2 cleanser. All this while the warming will begin to release methane from bogs and previously thawed areas.

As we lower our own emissions the planet will be adding them at a higher rate than it had been previously. While this is occurring the planet will be limited in it natural cleansing processes.

Even if we can turn it around it is going to be along and painful process.

Except for one week of low temperatures in mid-January, it's been the driest & warmest winter that I can remember here in Portland, OR. In my yard, I had a subtropical plant in the ground, planted up against the house, that bloomed in January (!). Usually, the first frost that comes along would turn it to mush, but not this year. Also, a normally summer-blooming lily was blooming in my neighbor's yard at the same time.
